I disagree with your assessment that the quest is a safe little hike until Goblin-town. The trolls are a significant threat prior to that. They're played partially for laughs but they do intend to eat Bilbo and the Dwarves. So it's not as if there is no threat before the mountains. I did complain about Azog and will likely continue to do so. I admit that that's partially Tolkien purism. If they'd introduced that plotline with Bolg as the villain rather than Azog, I probably would have been okay with it. I don't object to the Warg-riders having a leader. I just think Jackson chose poorly and changed the original story too drastically. Why bring back a dead character when the novel already has a character that could fill that role? It's fine now but it may make Bolg seem redundant when they eventually introduce him.
