That is why Christopher Tolkien I guess after watching the hobbit movie has announced that no more movies will be made on his father's mythology.
The Adventures of Tintin didn't have romance. It also didn't have unnecessary female eye-candy characters either. In fact, they went most of the film focusing on two men and a dog. I fail to see how Tintin, a honest-to-goodness movie could get away with no ridiculous romances or fluff, but The Hobbit can't.
