The LotR Trilogy are my all time favorite movies and the contrast couldn’t be greater. Really goes to show what a perfect storm it was that we got the movies we got with LotR.
True. Although to his defense my understanding is that Peter Jackson came in late as a replacement and at least partially did it because otherswise many people would have been out of a job (presumably people in new Zealand that he knew well). Watching the behind the scenes extras imo show a quite stark contrast compared to the LotR trilogy.
Maybe in the sense that they were aiming to be a long epic similar to the LotR, rather than the fun adventure the book that the Hobbit book is.
But i’d say that there are far more issues than just that.
For me it might be the Hobbit Trilogy.

Omg yes. The Hobbit movies were so terrible.
Imo worse than just them being bad is the gap between their quality and the potential of what could have been.
Absolutely and factor who made them.

The problem with the Hobbit movies was that they were too much like the Lord of the Rings movies.
