I absolutely disagree with this. The spirit of the hobbit is a rollicking, lighthearted adventure which simply will not translate to a 2 or 3 film epic. It's more than just page length - it's tone.

I never really considered The Hobbit to be lighthearted. I thought it was quite dark in a lot of places. Thorin being corrupted by the Arkenstone/treasure and then dying in the battle along with Fili and Kili. The whole Mirkwood act, the goblin caves, and so on.

I didn't read it as a child, but I'm sure if I had it would've given me nightmares. Especially the bit where Gollum is chasing after Bilbo over the lake with intent to kill.

Those goblins are disgusting and legitimately unnerving.

While this is true, Sam is arguably the real hero at the end of the day.

Not arguably, he pretty much carried Frodo for the entire journey. Literally near the end as well.

That Galadriel scene looked so freaking cheap when it came out, let alone today.
