    After putting LOTR into three magnificent movies (the same number as the original LOTR books) they shouldn't have turned The Hobbit (which is only a single book half as long as each of the LOTR volumes) into three movies as well. That being said, I think The Hobbit trilogy is not bad at all. Just not magnificent in any way, either.

    I liked The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug that was the best of the trilogy, and to be fair The Rings of Power is so poor it elevates The Hobbit trilogy (It should have been two movies not three).

    I've resisted any LOTR-related films since I was forced to read "The Hobbit" in high school. A friend said you'll hate this and throw it across the room and it was pretty close to that, which hasn't encouraged me to watch any of the films. Some people have said it's nothing but 3 hours of walking, battling, more walking, more battling and so on.

    Never been able to sit through the whole thing. I actually think I may have once, but was so bewildered by what was happening, I don't know if I watched a full, real movie. Also never finished Never Say Never Again, which I do want to watch.

    Pretty accurately represents my opinions as well. I have to say I like the Hobbit trilogy more than most I think.

    I was never a fan of the books or anything, but the LOTR trilogy is definitely one of the best trilogies in cinema.

    Chinatown is a masterpiece a brilliant Neo Noir, one of my favorite films.

    If you get round to watching The Lord of the Rings trilogy you will be in for a treat, some of the best films ever made.

    I absolutely adore the original Peter Jackson trilogy, with especially Fellowship standing out, Sean Bean's Boromir I think is the best character of the trilogy.

    The Hobbit trilogy, unfortunately, bores me slightly. Especially the last one is a quest in itself to sit through.

    The Rings of Power I should probably include here too, even though it's technically just a tv series, felt like fan fiction to me.

    So my advice is to just check out the original trilogy.

    Will check the original film series then :)
