TBH, I don't think they made even good popcorn movies. The pacing felt really off to me, there was some seriously unfunny additions (more Master of Lake town and Alfrid) and some of the big action sequences didn't really land. The battle scene in Battle of the Five Armies was particularly rushed and shortchanged. I don't mind a good popcorn flick, but... that wasn't it.

I really enjoyed the first two. But the third one did feel really off. There were some great scenes, but on the whole it was just rushed in some ways and slowed in others and just didn't really work.

I feel like there's a pretty good duology trapped in a mediocre trilogy. Which makes sense considering from my understanding Jackson wanted to do only two movies and the studio made him do three.

I agree. I don't think one would have been enough time to really care for the characters and make the ending have the emotional impact the same. But three was too much. Two would have been ideal.

What? You weren't impressed by Legolas Mario-jumping his way through the battle?

Honestly, I think they could have made one good Hobbit movie that was about the length of RotK, or two more easily digestible ones, if they'd just stuck to the plot of the original book with maybe a little foreshadowing/fleshing out of characters. What we didn't need was a love triangle. Or Legolas. Or Alfrid. Or, frankly, a 20-minute council scene where everyone pretends that Saruman isn't going to grow up to be Darth Vader while Galadriel circles the room like a pointy-eared Jaws.

Yeah. There are a few scenes I enjoyed, like the misty mountains song or the admittedly stupid callback (call forward?) to Galadriel's dark lady bit from Fellowship, but on the whole they're a tonally inconsistent, bloated mess.

As far as I can tell, a lot of people who do find enjoyment in the movies were into Bilbo/Thorin or Kili/Tauriel. I wasn't, so even the fandom side was no fun for me.
