I found the first movie to be very, very slow at points, so maybe they had to cram all the action and resolution into the final installment.
Jackson left out some parts and added other parts. I think that he made it unnecessarily both too long and too hurried.
The Hobbit is a very male oriented book in that there are no female characters that play main parts. Jackson included the female elf. Galadriel(spelling) was not mentioned in The Hobbit. He also tried very hard to tie The Hobbit to the LOTR. This meant that he added or emphasized some parts that he could have left out altogether.
The Hobbit itself is a pretty straight forward book. Little guy who doesn't know he wants adventure goes on an adventure and discovers he is smart and capable but I think that it would be a difficult novel to make into a visual work.
Like I said, I liked the first movie and was meh with the second. I am looking forward to the third movie
