To be honest, Tolkien wouldn't have personally liked it. Especially not the elaborations and expantions involved. But I think had we shown him just a few of the scenes, he'd have loved them. Mainly the ones that are so true to the books, like Gandalf coming to Bilbo's door, and Aragorn's tracking of Merry and Pippin, and even Boromir's death battle. He also would have probably liked a few of the little details, like a young Merry and Pippin stealing the firework, and the imaculate design of Bag-End (actually that's a pretty big detail).
