I think two of the critical points in favour of the hobbit movies being longer:
• The cutaway to what Gandalf and Co did, because as the legendary Sir Christopher Lee said: it shows Saruman when before he fell.
• The battle of the five armies is like a page in the book because its all from Bilbo's perspective and he gets knocked out basically at the start of it. You can't give movies(or TV) a fight like that and have them gloss over it. Well, excluding the last season of GOT which did that at least twice.
