Since it´s possible to do the flip side of the coin, I´m fairly optimistic about The Hobbit. One reason is the beauty of the scenery in the LoTR films, the beauty and variety of the art and designs and the sense of history they invested the landscape with; a vital aspect of the films which I´m confident will be continued in The Hobbit (especially since they´ve kept the same concept art designers). Another is the very strong focus on the humane themes in the LOTR films, which fits the story and themes of The Hobbit very well, what with all the humour and the contrast between Bilbo´s perspective and those of Thorin and Bard. A third is the casting, which was mostly very good for LoTR, and seems even better for The Hobbit. Having seen LoTR so many times have made me more aware of Jackson´s film style, his overall choices for the adaptation and what I think of as his strengths and weaknesses (in terms of my cinematic taste). So you might say I think I´m more realistic this time around, and don´t expect the films to include aspects of the story, or my way of imagining it, that don´t fit in with Jackson´s approach to film making.

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