IMO Fellowship felt "cinematic"

A literary pace when transposed to cinema can totally undermine a film, especially a plot-heavy epic or adventure. Unless one's making a character study or intimate drama where there's no to little narrative, aping the pacing of a book generally is counter-productive toward producing the best possible work for screen, where the plot needs to constantly surge forward as was the case in the theatrical cuts for LotR.
My fear is that a less brisk pace with less complexity will result in way too much Dwarf humor and the characters generally lounging about burping (on which I know we're in agreement on not wanting). 
My Top 5 Wish List for "The Hobbit"
5. Legolas will surf down Smaug's neck
4. Bilbo will be revealed to a Robot
3. Naked PJ cameo as Ghan-Buri-Ghan
2. Use of not only 3D, but smell-o-vision, plus the inclusion of axes coming out of the seats and poking the audience when appropriate
1. Not only keep the claim that Thorin & Co. ran amok in Mirkwood "molesting people", but depict said incident in vivid detail!!!!!
