Sure the Kili/Tauriel relation got take a bigger part in the movie than it should, otherwise its duration would be too small, as all the story is based on only one book. This explains why they added all this "bullshit", to fill the gaps and sucessfully turn it all into a Trilogy.

By the time they are reading the books the bigger goal would've been reached, generate money for the franchise, it wouldnt really matter, no more. Yes, the critics based on the book would increase, but that is not a problem at all, because the people who didnt read the book would've watched the movie already, to understand the least and would've paid. So using that wouldn't work for most.

Its not only about doing it well for the fans.
