People have complained that Jackson, Walsh and Boyens took far too many liberties with the LOTR script. So here they can make suggestions for what the Hobbit script should be like. What omissions/changes would you make to turn the Hobbit into a good 3 hour film?

My personal suggestions:
1.Remove Beorn. The Beorn chapter with the serving animals is a bit Bombaldil-ish and may spoil the seroius tone of the film. Make it so that the Eagles take Bilbo and Co directly to the Mirkwood entrance. Instead of Beorn, the arrival of the Eagles will be the turning point in the Battle of Five Armies.

2.Incorporate the White Council/Dol Guldur parts. It would be nice to see the two storylines running parallel, like the dual storylines of Frodo/Sam's journey through Mordor and the rest of the Fellowship participating in wars.

Your suggestions?
