On the contrary, they praise Ryan Gage quite a bit. 
"The danger with any movie that does as well as this one does is that the amount of money it's making and the number of awards that it's got becomes almost more important than the movie itself in people's minds. I look at that as, in a sense, being very much like the Ring, and its effect on people. You know, you can kind of forget what we were doing, if you get too wrapped up in that."
- Viggo Mortensen

They don't talk about the negative reaction, but they do spend a fairly long chunk talking about why his character was needed (comic relief mostly) particularly in the post-Smaug refugee period. They could have kept the character of the Master around (he survives in the book for a while) but they decided Alfrid was more believeable as an opportunist who supported Bard.

I love Peter but that is obviously bull. The reason they didn't use Stephen Fry is because he was too expensive or wasn't available for the reshoots
