And, just a thought, why not have four hobbits and nine dwarves in Thorin and Co.? Perhaps a tolerable change (certainly more so then PJ's
botching of Denethor).
Personally I feel that if too many changes were made to The Hobbit (e.g. the changing of who was in the Company) I just wouldn't be happy with it, and I don't think I would even go and see it.

I have nothing against small changes being made that are necessary in adapting it to the big screen, but I think if it needs to be changed that dramatically just to have people going to see it, it shouldn't be done at all. Changing who is in the company to add more hobbits etc just changes the overall story, and I don't agree with it.

I also don't see the necessity for two movies covering the Hobbit - I think it could be condensed into one, although I agree that it would be difficult to end it, what with the killing of Smaug and the Battle of Five Armies.
