I like Tolkien a lot, but I can see the argument for where his world building, lore building, and dialogue is better than his narrative writing (as in regards to pacing, plotting, movement of story, character arcs, etc.). People point to things like Tom Bombadil, Scouring of the Shire, which were both wisely cut from the films, and in the case of the Hobbit sticking too close to the text and having the somewhat groan inducing constant Gandalf rescues + Eagle-ex-machina ending. Furthermore, one could make a case for static + passive characterization such as 13 dwarves, most of whom have no real characteristics or background, or weak characters who experience no growth throughout the story such as Aragorn who always wanted to be king, or evil evil Boromir. Those are respects that I think Jackson actually changed for the better in the films than in the novel. Gotta accept criticism .. especially when it isn't even directed at your work.
