It could be even more interesting to hold a separate discussion posing the flip side of your question

"what specifically do you feel that they did right in the LOTR films that has you feeling optomistic in regards to The Hobbit?"
Or to combine that flip-side question with the one you asked in the same thread.
It's just not in my nature to pull out all the things I don't like and put a big focus on them. I've lived too long and had too many things I didn't like to spend energy that way. Quite a few of the LOTR movie board regulars, I suspect, feel similarly. It's not that we didn't have moments of disappointment or dislike of LOTR, it's that we touch on them when the subject comes up and we move on. We don't spend lots of energy focusing on them. I think you'll get more participation if the discussion isn't skewed one way from the get go.
I want to like The Hobbit. If I come up with 10 ways I didn't like LOTR that I think might make me dislike The Hobbit, my chances of liking The Hobbit are reduced. I grab joy when it happens and try not to bat it down in the air with my tennis racket as it flies around in my vicinity because I've mistaken it for a bat. That means putting down the tennis racket. If it turns out to be a bat, I'll deal with it.
