>1.5 movies worth of content stretched to a trilogy of films
>even then still added filler on top
>too many alterations to the plot
>too reliant on CG
>awkward and flat out bad use of GoPro tier cameras at times (the river sequence)
Am I missing anything?

>around elves, watch yourselves
also checkin

some filer was good like Dol Guldur from Unfinished Tales book

The extended cuts were a lot better, though obviously not at the level of LOTR. They were literally filming all the way up to release couldn't finish many things in time for the premiere.

>implying Azog wasn't the best orc character across all 6 movies

>le big CGI big baddy!

You expected something equal to LOTR there's your problem. Read about what The Hobbit is stop cherry picking.

>the most foul of his race...
>a ZOG...
how did they get away with it?

it was soulless in every way

I agree, it was just too much over the course of 3 movies.

Giumarello del Toro was set to direct but dropped out for whatever reason. I think speculation is he was going to do something not in line thematically with the LOTR trilogy and the studio was pushing back. In a panic they brought back Peter and rushed pre production while accommodating studio requests (3 movies instead of 2, romance plot, big dumb action scenes). End restult is the hobbit trilogy.

two orcs Frodo and Sam meet would be best if they were added and filmed,

Desolation of Smaug was finished like minutes before they had to deliver it. The way these movies were made were more like LOTR than I imagined. I'd say I wish there were two movies but with the decision to make three they added some of my favorite stuff including the White Council/Dol Guldur subplot and more scenes about the politics of Middle-Earth like the prologue in Bree. I recommend the appendices they give so many answers, eye-opening.

they could remove all stupid stuff like Legolas love triangle and do correct Beorn part it was sad in movie

Del Toro and Jackson worked with pretty much the same crew and were in contact there wasn't a lot of differences between them. But considering how the production of all Jackson's Middle-Earth movies was on the edge pretty much the entire time I wonder how Del Toro would've managed it. Revisionists don't want to be reminded how only the first act of FOTR had decent pre-production (the built of Hobbiton set and screen tests of several Bag End scenes).

because instead of making the Hobbit, the studio and or Jackson tried to make The Lord of The Rings trilogy 2

Yes I don't like it. On the other hand we have a couple improvements like the dwarves, Gandalf and Bard. I'm ok with Hobbit being to some degree inferior to LOTR no matter the medium.

They could only use The Hobbit and the appendices. The scenes that put the quest for Erebor in a larger context of the future war for the Ring is all Tolkien. Personally this is one of my favorite ones.

Rushed (pre)production
Stretching it out into a trilogy
Trying to match the tone of the LotR epic fantasy
Nobody telling Peter Jackson to stop it with the CGI excess

very good costumes, the orcs had a little too human body size, so the "slave" one is not looking that worthless. Also the combat was nicely choreographed. blood and effects were obviously fake but honestly how do you even do that irl without ruining costumes.
