The Goblin town looked pretty amazing! You could never build a set like that, and it looked really convincing. Although the end of the chase through Goblin town was a little difficult to believe.
As for the difference between the Goblins and Orcs? I like that we got to see both Goblins AND Orcs. And that's cool in the leadup to LOTR, where Gandalf talks about how Saruman crossed Goblin men with Orcs to create the Uruk Hai.
But some of the Orcs looked...OFF. Some of the Warg riders looked very much like the Orcs you saw in LOTR, like guys in makeup & prosthetics. But Azog looked like he was completely CG to me. Which is weird, because I knew the actor who played Azog, but I couldn't recognize him. Was Azog like Gollum, a character who was done completely via motion capture? And there were at least a few other Orcs that looked that way, too.
