Of course 8-)
That is the way via which many of us ended up here ;)
Walküre:
As you can see, I changed the title of the thread in 'The Hobbit Trilogy', to give it a more general range involving all the three chapters of the cinematographic adaptations of the Hobbit.
A lot of posts related to the other two films and not only to the last one (EE version).
Therefore, I felt it will be much more useful and interesting if the debate becomes broader :)
And, I also merged the thread which dealt with the 'sins' of these films with this main one, since it basically referred to similar matters as these.

I wish you all and myself a good discussion ;)

I have to say that, in complete honesty, I enjoyed the trilogy. It was so nice to have back the feeling of being transported to Middle Earth, to see again some iconic characters like Bilbo, Gandalf, Elrond and Galadriel, and being presented new ones, like Thorin and his company. Rediscovering enchanted places like the Shire and Rivendell was heart-warming, and descovering new ones such as Erebor, Mirkwood and Lake-Town has been intriguing and interesting.
Yes, indeed there have been some choices in the realization that left me a bit baffed, some even slightly disappointed me, but in the end not that much, as I do enjoy variations. I can see that Weta's team had wanted to have quite fun with these movies and many things were a bit over the top, especially in the last chapter, but that's not really news (if one thinks King Kong).
Overall, the Hobbit Trilogy has satisfied me. Despite everything, it has been a memorable jump back to Middle Earth.

I totally agree with you, and I think that this has also been one of the main reasons why the majority of the fans holistically liked the trilogy.
Perfect words, nothing to add about it :)
Regarding the numerous flaws of the trilogy, you can see throughout the Internet and in this very same thread that a lot of different themes have been brought out, from technical aspects to conceptual ones.
And I would also like to focus on the inner 'spiritual' aspects of these films, that inevitably lacked many things and still don't totally reach the standards of the LOTR trilogy.
I mean, it's very clear to me, in watching and trying to make a fair comparison between the two trilogies, that there is a general different 'spirit' in LOTR, and that this spirit doesn't necessarily relate to the different characteristics of the events dealt with.
I believe that, whether PJ admits it or not, a lot more in terms of passion and accuracy (even if that means renouncing to grotesque elements and choosing strict creativity) was poured in the construction of LOTR; as if there had been the intention of reaching the best outcome possible in the first trilogy, while standards and boundaries regarding the second one were unchained and definitely wilder.
But, having that in mind, I too don't regret having watched the Hobbit and dived into Middle Earth once again ;)

I personally think this video explains very well why The Hobbit was not as good as LotR.
