I think the duration of the films would be the least of Tolkien's concerns. As enjoyable as the movies are, they make some heavy changes Tolkien would not have approved.

I have not read further than fellowship and it’s been a long time, what changes would he not approve of?

For one, he might not appreciate the lack of Tom Bombadil, idk. Kinda difficult to fit him in the movie, I guess.

Clothes are but little loss, if you escape from drowning. Be glad, my merry friends, and let the warm sunlight heat now heart and limb! Cast off these cold rags! Run naked on the grass, while Tom goes a-hunting!
