Yeah I definately agree that the Hobbit book is a completely different tone, feels more like the sort of story that you could read to younger kids and they wouldn't get bored, much simpler. However, I think the film needed to be filmed in the same way as LOTR to give it the feel of being part of the same series. I did enjoy though as I said, just could have been so much better. I reckon it might have been better to do the films in the order of the books though, then the trasition of atmosphere might have came more naturally and there wouldn't have been so much confusion between people who hadn't read the books.
