I love the Lord of the Rings trilogy, it wasn’t perfect by any means but close enough for me to love watching it (multiple times)
But the Hobbit?? I saw the first one....ok. The second one....dumb and contrived. The book was good enough PJ, you didn’t have to, ahem, “improve” on it!!!!
In other words, the second one wasn’t any good.

We didn't like this current Hobbit movie either.

Characterizations were shallow, story was flat, WAY too much time toward the end devoted to the crashing, slashing fight scenes all too common in movies across the board (which always cranks up for the last half hour or so).

We loved all 4 of the previous movies. This was very disappointing.
