that the original concept was for two movies, and it was New Line, the last studio that the team approached after many rejections, who approved three films. Peter, Fran and Philippa has a very short time to take a 2-movie script and turn it into three movies. We'll probably never know what changes were made to fit the story into two movies, but quite possibly some of the changes to move closer to the books were done as part of the hurried re-write. I don't know if we can conclude that the writing team thought Tolkien HAD to be changed/improved/whatever, but rather that two movies required changes that departed from the books. I seriously doubt Peter, Fran or Philippe EVER said that the script improves on Tolkien. They did feel that some of it had to be changed so it would work as a film. I'm sure everyone has opinions on whether the choices they made were valid, however it's likely that the alternatives could be just as bad if not worse.
