Still light years ahead of the Hobbit movies.

The first two I was ok with, not thrilled but ok.

I was visibly angry watching The Battle of the Five Armies.

I agree. Didn't care for the Battle of the Five Armies at all. The only scenes I feel that worked were Bard killing Smaug and Thorin's farewell to Bilbo. And guess what? Those were two scenes that were actually in the book. It's just incredible to me that the scenes Jackson knows he can't frick up he does masterfully, but then shits the bed in everything else. The dwarves crashing Bilbo's house, the troll scene, riddles with Gollum, captured by spiders, and Bilbo's encounter with Smaug were all fantastically adapted to the big screen.

The Battle of the Five Armies was pure filler that should have lasted no more than 45 minutes. I do think that the Hobbit should have been split, but into 2 movies not 3. It was just whoring out knowing that nerds everywhere would watch all three no matter what.

Agree. There are parts of the trilogy that were fantastic. I thougj Smaug as a whole was really well done. And like you said, the scenes that were canon were spectacular. Couldve done without Tauriel and the made up Thranduil shite. Not to mention all the azog mess. 2 movies would have been perfect and he could have stuck to canon.

If none of that makes sense I finished a night shift a little while ago and Im not sure Im totally coherent.
