Wrong, I hated all the trilogy, not only the last one. In fact, the first and the second were worse.
Still don't understand what's the matter with it, and why you relate it to coolness. Nvm that...
The only good thing in that 2nd part is that we get to see Eva Green naked. Too bad she got ganged by that silly guy though...
Dam
And I haven't even seen the first Hobbit movie yet
wat
I read the books and still enjoyed the movies. Are you one of those people that thinks that if the movie varies from the book at all, it's bad?

I didn't enjoy the Hobbit movies at all, and no, not because they deviated from the book; I assumed they would wildly deviate given how goddamn long they are and how short the book is, comparatively.
The problem isn't all the added material (that Azog **** and the girl elf, mostly); it's how repetitious and slow-paced the movies are. Many of the action scenes and Gandalf's side-story were either mentioned in The Hobbit or other Tolkien books, and thus aren't even non-canonical or anything, but they really dragged the movie out and bored the **** out of me, as well as side-lining the main character, Bilbo, which I thought was unfortunate, since Martin Freeman acted pretty pretty well. The absurd amount of padding alone was enough to be off-putting, but combined with the heavy (lazy?) reliance on CGI over practical effects and the uninspired, generic soundtrack in the second and third installments, The Hobbit trilogy felt like a cash-grab relying on the success of LotR with few merits of its own.
But that's just my opinion; they're certainly not the worst movies I've seen. I do think it's unfair to rag on people for saying they're worse than the book, though. They have a different tone than the book and enjoying the book would have little to do with liking those movies.
