the hobbit was written as a children's book, meant for kkids. LOTR was written for adults.
I liked the movies a lot. as a nerd I read the LOTR but I got sick bored with it after about 200 pages on the second book. I could not keep track of all the characters and meandering threads. I should try it again as I have not touched that book since I was 15.
I thought the movies did a great job. It is a difficult thing to do, to condense such thick rich books into a movie form, and I feel that Jackson did it admirably.
I also remember watching willow and retching at the stupidity.

Hobbits are halflings. they are the smallest of the humanopid races in LOTR.
