As said there is enough in the book for two movies, I was taken back when they wanted to split it into three. And from what I have heard (didn't get to go tonight I had to come into work) they are trying to be true to the book and embellishing parts.
Each of books for the LoTR trilogy could of easily been split into two movies for each book and parts would still be missing. A big piece they took out was the rivalry that Soroman's Ring had with Gandaluf's Ring and Gandaluf "completing" his rings mission by beating Soroman when he invaded the Shire in retaliation to his defeat.
