speaking on behalf of The Hobbit Movie Haters Association, these opinions are held largely by those who love the story as Tolkien wrote it, and feel that the vast majority of alterations, additions and "enhancements" PJ and Co. made, were unnecessary, added nothing of significance, and mostly lowered it to the level of middle-school quality fan-fic. We feel that the added action sequences such as the one that was clumsily forced into the barrel escape sequence was way over the top, utterly ridiculous and not at all something Tolkien would have ever imagined for his story. The reason why we feel these movies are bloated is simply because they are. 70% of it is composed of things that are not in the book, and of that 70%, 100% are things that we feel detracts from the story Tolkien wrote, which we hold dearly.
The movies did well financially, sure, but so did Twilight, so I place them in the same category. The only difference being The Hobbit is based on a widely cherished work of literature, and Twilight is actually based on fan-fic quality rubbish.
