I think those scenes could have survived in a two film series

I never felt the film should have been split at the arrival of laketown for the two film split - to me that is too much for film one in comparison to the second film. Obviously this is not what PJ was intending to do either, lol. I think if you get rid of radagast, and azog, the chase scenes, the way overly drawn out goblin town then you could add those other moments without detracting from the better ones - the moments at the start. I realise why he did it - people in general found the start boring and liked it when action happened - opposite can be said for tolkien fans in general. Alas they are not making it for fans but the general public. Also the survey his hobbit hole - you know how long that was - 1 minute in screen time - take out 1 min of goblin town and you have that back, It could of course of been done, lots of the scenes could have had fat trimmed off them and scenes as i pointed out above completely removed. Though as you say ultimately PJ is making his own movie based on the hobbit rather than trying to make the hobbit. Personally i just really would love to see what a two film movie looked like, fantastic i imagine.

Wouldn't Azog have been in it with two movies, anyway?
