Since the Hobbit was written before LOTR, it's not a prequel; rather, LOTR is the sequel.

The Hobbit is a prequel as well! Oh noes! I wonder if it makes sense that if something is a sequel then it must have a prequel, and if something is a sequel it must have a prequel. And even if a prequel is a sequel as well, it means that... uh... hold on a moment... And episode 2 was awful... But using that logic… The Hobbit is a prequel as well! Oh noes!

And thus it suffers from the problem that most prequels suffer from; mythic past events (like John Connor's rise to power, the Clone Wars, etc) are almost always MUCH cooler when vaguely hinted at than when you dedicate a film to exploring them in detail. skalogy: Yup, pretty much.
