I think had they been left at 2 films and focused on the dwarves more the films would've been great.

As is, they're kind of a mess. (But I still find things to like about them.)

Yeah. Initially, I defended the 3 movies because I thought it would give more time to explore 13 characters and plotlines like Dol Goldur. But since they didn't do any of that, I think a lot of the issues in the movies that were actually made would be solved if they'd cut it down to 2 and throw everything else into an EE.

But, I still see the third movie as wasted potential because they *could* have done more to explore plotlines and characters and shaped the movies to fit the 3-movie structure. The whole thing was wasted potential IMHO.

IA, yea. I didn't despair when I heard we were getting three films either because like you, I think they could've made it work; it ended up feeling like a lot of...well, filler. A lot of the extra stuff made the films feel bloated and unnecessarily long.

Had it been a bit tighter, more focused and no-nonsense, it could've been good.

If not, a more straightforward adaption would've worked with 2 films.
