If I could change one thing in the Hobbit movies, I would get rid of all the over-the-top, grotesque bad guy designs. Orcs with blades for limbs, and metal plates and spikes stuck into their bodies, that sort of thing. They took me out of the story because they were so improbable. In the LotR movies, a great deal of care was put into the Orc designs. In the Hobbit movies, it was as if they just said, "Great, how can we make this one even more disgusting than the last."
