Why was The Hobbit trilogy so long

The Hobbit trilogy, which consists of three films - "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" (2012), "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" (2013), and "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies" (2014) - was significantly longer than the original novel by J.R.R. Tolkien. There are several reasons for this:

Expanded Storyline: While the novel focuses primarily on the journey of Bilbo Baggins and the dwarves to reclaim the Lonely Mountain, the films delve deeper into the characters' backstories, motivations, and the wider world of Middle-earth.
Additional Scenes and Subplots: The films include new scenes and subplots that were not present in the book, such as the White Council's involvement, the Battle of Dol Guldur, and Tauriel's romantic relationship with Kíli.
Extended Battle Sequences: The battle scenes in the films are far more elaborate and lengthy than in the book, particularly the climactic Battle of the Five Armies.
CGI Effects: The films make extensive use of computer-generated imagery (CGI) to create realistic visuals and immersive environments. This process can be time-consuming and contributed to the extended length of the trilogy.
Studio Decisions: Ultimately, the decision to make the Hobbit trilogy longer was a commercial one. Warner Bros. hoped to maximize profits by adapting the novel into a more extensive franchise with multiple installments.
