I watched all three, and they were all terrible. I’ve watched the LOTR trilogy a few times, I’ve only watched The Hobbit trilogy once and I don’t think I’m ever watching them again.
There are a few fan edits that dump all the padding bullshit and the LOTR foreshadowing. The results is two Ok movies that follow the book quite well, still nowhere near LOTR but not the pile of shit the studio cuts are.
