Kinda makes me wonder about your choice in cinema.
Seriously, I really liked the medieval Russian look of the costumes for the flashback to old Dale: very much reminded me of Novgorod from when it was flourishing. But the Laketown look, so far, meh. I get that Laketown is supposed to be this settlement clinging to life and aside from its wine, not economically successful.
Overall, it's symptomatic of my feelings on the "Hobbit" films' costuming/character design. I mostly liked the Dwarves, except for the star-shaped hairdo and the hatchet handle in the forehead. I despised Radagast and the Goblin King, both in look and in portrayal. Ditto Azog. From what we've glimpsed, I'm not going to care for Beorn much, either. I did love the look of both Dwarves and Men in old Dale. Really dislike Disco Thranduil. Tauriel looks so-so, with the obvious wig really ruining her look.
