I was recently annoyed because I hadn't read the book before I watched the movie and it makes me mad how much stuff they made up... even though some off them did make the movie a bit more climactic... e.g. when Gandalf breaks the rock and freezes the trolls... it did not happen in the book

You've really got to regard the books and the movies as separate entities. It's not fair to judge one based on the other, because it's its own thing, a self-contained piece of art.
I'm fine with however many movies PJ decides to make, just as long as they don't drag or feel like they have filler material just to justify their existence. The first one seemed to stand very well on its own, let's wait and see what the others are like.

How can you get mad if you haven't read the book yet? Paradox much?
Anyway, it's not ''made up'' per se. The extra material comes from 125 or so of Tolkien's additional notes on the Hobbit.
Guess what, I'm finally reading the book and seeing the movie soon!

It's a bad idea to watch the movie first, but anyways the book and the movie always has something different in it. I haven't seen the movie yet and I'm close to being done with the book but how would you know if you haven't read the book?
