| Mythmaker1 said: There is definitely a problem with the movie, and it has a lot to do with the books, especially the characters. The Hobbit has quite a few names, but very few personalities. You can't do much to expand upon a plot when half of the named characters are dead weight. |
True there are only like 3 dwarfs worth mentioning.
1. Thorin - for obvious reason
2. Balin - he is basically Bilbo's closest friend and supporter it seems.
3. Bomber - fat dwarf, who is easily recognizable and his weight has a few plot points to it.

4. maybe fili and kili - they tend to be sent to do bitch work all the time due to being the youngest.

But even in the books, it seems teh whole company of dwarfs loses more and more of their personality from the point where the first movie ended to the end of the book. They kind of turn into a group of fawning Bilbo fans.
THere is a reason the book is called "The HOBBIT"
