The problem is that The Hobbit isn't the LOTR. While they are related, they are two completely different stories written in very different ways. LOTR is this huge grandoise fantasy epic, while The Hobbit is essentially a children's book.
The other half of it is that since LOTR had already been made into a hugely successful movie trilogy, people are naturally going to compare the two and expect The Hobbit to live up to the same standards set by LOTR... which is why a short children's novel that could have been done in one 2-hour plus movie has been turned into three 3-hour epics.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
