IMO, some things wouldn't work with the medium. Like the 17 years that pass between Bilbo's party and when Frodo finally leaves the Shire. And the first book spends a ton of time in the old forest (with the evil trees, Tom Bombadil, the Barrow weights, etc.). I think the first movie would have been eight hours long.

IMO, there is nothing wrong with turning one book into several movies. In retrospect, they could have extended the series and made billions more dollars.
