1) Gollum is shown not to have been a Hobbit but only "that creature" who found the ring.. no "birthday present" aspect, and no hobbit transformed into evil.

The movie also didn't go into the Riddle Game played by Bilbo after he found the ring, and didn't talk about why Bilbo was there... how much detail do you want in a movie?

Indeed, Tolkien didn't explain all that about Gollum in The Hobbit; he waited until later books to do that. Perhaps all that will be gone into in a later movie. Perhaps not. Some details are best left in a book - gives a person a reason to read books, don't you think?

For what it could possibly have accomplished in the time frame the studios allowed, I think the movie was wonderful. No complaints from me. I liked the movie - from beginning to end.
