I agree with this. Two movies would've been perfect, and if there was less focus on the elves and more on the dwarves, I think the films would've benefitted a lot.

I don't mind the Gandalf and Galadriel stuff, and I LOVED that the dwarves were given more personality, but so much of the last two films felt needlessly drawn out. Some of the action scenes dragged on forever, past the point of being fun. As someone who loves Legolas, I was not happy with his scenes and think he should've had a smaller role. I don't think we needed a romance (other then Thorin/Bilbo, heh), although I didn't loathe it... It just wasn't well written or explored enough, and it felt awkward.

The cast was absolutely fantastic, but the film would've been five times better if it had taken itself a bit more seriously and didn't have so much padding.

Mostly though, even though I think the first film is the only good one, I'm still glad these movies exist because Middle Earth is gorgeous, Bilbo/Thorin is wonderful, and the cast do the best they can with what they're given, which in moments is pretty impressive.
