Del Toro is making The Hobbit now. So, wait and see if he is faithful to the literary version. (though I would be inclined to say no, again)
As regards Jackson, he did a competent job blending his vision and ideas with Tolkien's works, IMO. Not great, nor faithful, but competent.
Filmmakers do have a habit of mixing their ideas with an original work. It is like an addition - their silent stamp on the finished product.
Kubrick & The Shining, anyone?
