Why was it insulting? Because there was more room to show battle scenes? Because it wasn't word for word, getting every little detail about how Frodo's meal on the 57th day of the journey tasted (just an exaggeration to show how unrealistic your expectations would be if that was the reason). No book to movie adaptation is going to be word for word, and there are obviously going to be differences. I hardly see how such beautiful masterpieces "insult" the source material for showing a little bit more of the action, or not catching every little detail.
