I'd prefer that he would get as much detail as possible rather than putting the entire book into one movie.
This. I know a lot of people complain about the length of the movie but I thought it was great. Could easily have watched more.
This isn't like the difference between the old and new Star Wars trilogies. The Hobbit fits the LotR film franchise perfectly, because you know.... Peter Jackson is actually really good.
Having more content =/= better movie.
If he really wanted to have those scenes, he should have included them in an extended edition for the die-hard fans.Right, because us Hobbit fans would totally want to wait for the DVD versions just to enjoy the film to it's full extent.
Having more content is alright for die hard Hobbit fans but for a lot of the audience there were a lot of boring and overlong scenes in the movie.
The general reaction from the audience seemed to be that they were enjoying it. I was in a pretty crowded theater, and I can guarantee that maybe 5 people in there total read the books. The rest were just previous LotR film fans. They all seemed to be enjoying and laughing at the scenes where it was just talking for 10 minutes or more. Sure, some of the scenes were overdrawn, but peter made it interesting for us that are actually into the lore of middle-earth and it's characters.
