what if the prologue sequence was narrated by Thorin during the unexpected party instead of by Bilbo at the beggining?

Even though I loved Ian Holm's voice over for the prolougue I still wish that the movie had opened with young Bilbo at Bag End. Just a little narration from Ian Holm where he introduces Bilbo Baggins starting with "in a hole in the ground.." and then talking about how he was about to go on an adventure would've been the good way to do it. Having no prologue at the start would make everything else that comes later more "unexpected" such as the dwarves showing up at Bag End. Since we were already shown a history of dwarves and know the main story will be involving them it took away the surprise. I remember the first time reading The Hobbit and the dwarves showing up seperately was very unexpected for me and it would've worked well in the film. If the movie had started with a clueless Bilbo I think the audience (especially non book readers) would feel more connected with him and the Dale/Erebor sequence would've been more powerful had it been told by Thorin at the party since it would be the first introduction of Middle Earth outside The Shire on such a large scale. Does anyone else wish it had been done this way?
