Even adding a little more material from Unfinished or Sil, the Hobbit movie could have maybe been two films. Maybe make the brown wizard less of a buffoon with bird shit on his head, remove the love triangle, do away with unnecessary foreshadowing around events yet to come or develop in LotR, and shorten the clash of two mountains as the party witnessing it, making some jests in tune with the book where it wasn't even a whole sentence, and move on. But no, higher-ups messed with the movies until they were a mess that barely anyone enjoyed being a part of.
