"True, but unlike a lot of shitty films, this one is part of a franchise that has a reputation to uphold."

Look, I agree with you that the hobbit trilogy was pretty embarrassingly crap, but what you don't seem to realize is that our opinion is not necessarily the opinion of the majority of movie-goers. Three billion at the box office should tell you this. That reputation you speak of? It was upheld by the profit those movies made. The fact that critics weren't as enthusiastic or that you and I were disgusted by the poor quality doesn't count for shit when it comes to deciding whether or not to make those movies.

Sure, they might have to worry if they plan on making more Tolkien-based movies with Peter Jackson at the helm, but remember, big franchises have changed directors before and they were already prepared to let someone else direct when Jackson originally said no. You also have to remember that they don't have the rights to any other Tolkien properties, and that the Tolkien estate hasn't been very happy with ANY of the film adaptations, so there may not be any future LOTR universe films to worry about.
