Yes, I quite agree.
While I give the Hobbit movies more credit than many, I find it rather appalling just how discourteous and oafish the Dwarves were portrayed to be.
I think, Tolkien's Dwarves are "less refined" in a way perhaps, as compared to other peoples, but not merely comedic relief.
At any rate, Jackson's Dwarves are certainly not what I picture when reading Thorin's final words, or of Gimli's great awe for Galadriel.
