Fabricated new story & skipped the phenomenal Hobbit story

Rating: 2/10 (17 December 2012)

Typically, I love Peter Jackson. The first set of movies are amazing and pretty accurate to JRR Tolkien's books. For The Hobbit, the made up a new story.
ERRORS: *Gandalf distracts the Trolls, who didn't steal any horses, and wades time to turn them into stone. Not Bilbo.
*The great white orcs aren't chasing the Hobbits. They made that up.
*The Hobbits don't run into orcs until they look for reprieve in a cave in the mountain.
*The scene with the Giants was cool, but it's not really brought up much in the book. They just blame the weather on the giants... no fighting involved.
*The brown wizard scenes and the whole Necromancer story was made up. Again, just barely mentioned in the book, but not part of the story.
*Why would the brown wizard run past the dwarfs with the Wargs and Orc following him if he was trying to let them get away?
*Thorin, not Gandalf, kills the Orc king right away. Bilbo was also captured.
*Bilbo finds the ring, quite accidentally, in the dark tunnel. He doesn't see Gollum drop it. And seriously, the ring... it's the one thing they shouldn't mess up!
*The meeting at Rivendale is supposed to be happy and fun. The elves give the dwarfs horses and supervisions for their journey. The dwarfs feast and stay there for 2 weeks.
*The other elf queen and the white wizard are not supposed to be in Rivendale. They aren't in the Hobbit story.
*Gandalf leaves Rivendale with the dwarfs.
*Just the wargs were meeting by chance at the trees. The wargs surround the trees and just Gandalf throws lighted pine cones. Bilbo shouldn't have been able to climb a tree on his own. He's too short. Again, the mystery white orc that had a stint with Thorin was not chasing him. In fact, he shouldn't even exist. The eagles come and save them because they don't like orc and wargs. - The trees don't fall over, but the dwarfs do get nearly smoked out.
GOOD PARTS: *The beginning as the dwarfs came in was pretty accurate, though too long of a scene. *Riddles with Gollum. They did a good job with this.
The screen writers failed. Peter Jackson is still amazing, but there was too much action and they made up too many things that are not contributed to Tolkien's work.
