The problem with the 'Hobbit' Movies

Well, considering the Hobbit was written after Lord of the Rings and was essentially written to tell the back story of how the Ring came to the Shire, it really isn't supposed to have the same feeling.

The problem with the movie, so far, is it's too long. They added too much to the story to extend it. However, there are some additions to the story that really do a good job of setting the stage for the LoTR movies.

And well, I guess personally I like that all the Dwarves are Scottish in this movie.

What I never really liked about The Hobbit and then the Lord of the Rings is the disconnect between the two movies. In The Hobbit the Dwarves, Elves, and Man come together to defeat the foe and it seems the three are at peace with each other and willing to work together. In Lord of the Rings, not so much. They are, essentially, reluctant allies.

The other problem is in Lord of the Rings it shows the older Bilbo obtaining the Ring and in The Hobbit, obviously the younger one is.

That said, I'm interested in seeing the characters run around the screen a lot more in "The Hobbit 2: Really? Is this a Marathon or a Movie?"

Bold: after The Hobbit became popular hist editor asked to him to write a sequel, The Lord of the Rings was born... The Hobbit was write before The Lord of the Rings lol.

1936: The Hobbit
1954–1955: The Lord of the Rings

"Tolkien never expected his stories to become popular, but by sheer accident a book called The Hobbit, which he had written some years before for his own children, came in 1936 to the attention of Susan Dagnall, an employee of the London publishing firm George Allen & Unwin, who persuaded Tolkien to submit it for publication.[85] However, the book attracted adult readers as well as children, and it became popular enough for the publishers to ask Tolkien to produce a sequel.

The request for a sequel prompted Tolkien to begin what would become his most famous work: the epic novel The Lord of the Rings.

Tolkien at first intended The Lord of the Rings to be a children's tale in the style of The Hobbit, but it quickly grew darker and more serious in the writing."

Who told you LOTR was write before Hobbit? I need to kill him

Actually he is not completely wrong, because after writing the Lord of the Rings, Tolkien went back and changed parts of the Hobbit to make it more consistent with the Lord of the Rings Books, he even calls Bilbo a liar for not correctly writing what really happened into the "first" book
