An Unexpected Journey gave the larger series something which it was lacking, but which would have been hard to find a proper place for in the Rings trilogy under most circumstances, regardless of the director: a cozy, more familliar sense of childlike wonder, without a ubiquitous grim undercurrent. With the LOTR intro, people expect a similar film. The fact that The Hobbit is NOT LOTR turned a lot of reviewers off. It's like if RotK was full of childlike wonder, it would have been a turn off. You don't invoke the tone of LOTR from the beginning and then pull a 180.

Why, to my mind, An Unexpected Journey greatly adds to rather than detracts from LOTR's fim legacy.

Thror getting killed before the main battle is essential to understanding the war and the dwarves.

The tone of the prologue for AUJ is mixed, like the movie. And it does not go

Almost exactly. Point well made. Indeed, Galadriel tells us definitively that something HAS been lost
