If you think of it this way, Peter Jackson and New Line laying everything on the line to get this film made. They spent upwards of a billion dollars to make it, with the risk that it could very well fail, because most fantasy movies are not particularly big office draw.
The last thing they would want to do is produce a movie that would piss off fanboys. Everything they field in these movies was with intent to strike a balance between the fanboys, but keep it attractive enough to also draw in the general movie audience, especially women.
I think overall, because there is usually no way, outside of using cardboard cutouts with balloons drawn with exact dialogue, they succeeded.

Didn't see any pukel-men in the movie.
