Thorin and his folk are from the Longbeards. They are described in The Hobbit as having beards long enough to tuck into their belts. While some of them do have beards, several would be bald by dwarf-standards (as set up in HoME).

I can agree that some changes need to be made but there's also a point where you have to honor the source material. While Thorin's beard isn't tucked in his belt, he's definitely got one. But he also doesn't look much like a dwarf. Most of them don't, especially in close-ups. This can take away from the story because the story is supposed to be about dwarves, not humans. There's a disconnect when you're told that you're supposed to be looking at dwarves, you've been given Gimli as your archetype, and yet the "hot" dwarves you see don't look very different from Aragorn or Eomer. It really feels like the filmmakers shied away from the fact their leading characters were dwarves.

So what you're saying is that dwarves should look like ugly potatoes.

No. They should look like dwarves.
