Ho Hum...
The whole problem is that PJ made the films with all the 'other' people in mind, not just the fans.
Sorry, couldn't resist that... Anyway, I simply think that Pete and crew went in the wrong direction with this second installment. Their unnessary character alterations and created plot threads bog down this already-complicated-story in my opinion. But of course... none of this can be helped now.
P.S. Now what they needed was Christoper Tolkien to review and approve the scripts... Yeah right, like
he would've ever been satisfied!
