The Lords of the Rings trilogy by Peter Jackson was one of the most popular, successful and critically acclaimed franchises in movie history, winning a whole bunch of awards including a lot of Oscars. Naturally, after waiting an appropriate (but still pretty short) period of time, Hollywood wanted to make some more money off the fandom. Enter The Hobbit, starring Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins!
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey raises lots of questions. Like why did they decide to try and squeeze three movies out of a single book? Why is Bilbo even going on this adventure? Are we supposed to care about these dwarves? Why does that one dwarf look so much like Aragorn? What happened to all the cool make-up? Why is everything now CGI? Why is so much of this movie spent talking about the fact that the Lord of the Rings might happen one day? Why does Radagast the Brown have bird poop on his face?!
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

They created an elven Mary Sue whose sole purpose is to fall in love with him, not really caring all that much that he's a dwarf and their races are supposed to hate each other, thus completely destroying the major significance of Legolas and Gimli's friendship later. And of course Legolas himself also swoons over her but since Thranduil deems her a 'lowly Silvan elf' obviously she is not suitable for him despite being such an amazing fighter, being SO AHEAD OF HER TIME since she argues that the whole dwarven/elven thing isn't helping either of their races and they should aid the dwarves in their quest, being a captain of the guard etc etc etc. I despise her with every atom of my being :)

Hobbits are also remarkably good at stealth, even compared to dwarves, and Gandalf had always had some idea that hobbits needed to be involved in the final defeat of Sauron in some way, so bringing Bilbo along on an adventure was the first step in a long plan to make hobbits as a whole more adventurous.

They barely even had a director ready. Guillermo Del Toro was originally supposed to direct it, but since he decided to leave, they got Peter Jackson in. Instead of adapting to the circumstances and give him more pre-production time, they sticked to the deadline and gave him only 3-4 months until full production. Hence, why we see so much CGI in the finished product.

Also, the massive popularity of Gandalf among readers and viewers shows that badass older characters can be just as, if not often more, beloved than younger characters so I don't always get this need to make certain characters younger.

Also the Legolas & Tauriel scenes are way too over-the-top for me; I am not against his inclusion, but he got too much screen time at the expense of original characters (who were actually in the book) like Beorn and the dwarves.
