Mostly misunderstood by the people who decided to turn one relatively short book into a series of three movies.

When you're stretching a story that is shorter than the shortest volume of The Lord of the Rings to be as long (or longer) than those three books combined, you dun goofed son.

Except that The Hobbit is made for children, the majority of the dwarves have no character at all and things happen randomly with no set up or explanation. I love Tolkien but a straight adaptation of the book would have been terrible. That being said there were many mistakes the movie made but the argument that the book is short so the movie must be short too is very silly.

I actually like the extended Galdalf scenes and the discussion of the lore of the different rings and he third film adds back in the much missed and weirdly cut funereal for a certain character but there isn't much else that's added that nt able. The problem with the Hobbit is the 3rd movie drags on and the while thing should have really been 2 3 hour films.
