Just finished LOTR

Over the years I’ve seen portions of all three films, but this was the first time that I watched the trilogy in its entirety. I see now why people say LOTR is so much better than The Hobbit. I enjoyed The Hobbit trilogy, but it isn’t even in the same universe as LOTR.

Speaking of the movie universe, I completely agree.
But, The Hobbit, is one of the greatest books ever written.

I watch the trilogy every year.
I had the set of 3 separate films with lots of extras for each film, but the standard movie release. I bought the blu-ray 3 years ago with the extended films and all the features of the other DVDs.
It is the greatest trilogy ever put on film.

Not only is it vastly superior as a series of films, but The Hobbit made changes that broke the LOTR lore. For example- everyone, including the Wise, had basically forgotten about Sauron by Bilbo's birthday party.
There had been a semblance of peace for centuries, overall, in Middle Earth. Sure, Angmar was under the Witch King, but he was not openly known to be a Nazgul. He was assumed to be a rogue Dunedain, in opposition to what little Arnor still held. And they had left.
The taking of Minas Ithil was fairly recent, and of originally unknown means. Again, wasn't clearly linked to the Nazgul at that point. Wasn't until they declared openly for Mordor that it was revealed, and then people understood it was the Witch King still, now working on Gondor, but that was still united (whereas Arnor was Balkanized).
The Necromancer of Dol Guldur was suspected to be a man, and originally didn't get the attention of the White Council until Gandalf convinced him. That meant he was under the radar.
Sauron openly declaring in Mordor and rebuilding the Dark Tower was supposed to be recent, and a shock.

Back in that time, Pete Jackson couldn't rely on CGI to display his story. So he was able to create this beautiful world that felt more real. It was complemented by CGI, but not created from it.
That's just one reason of a LONG list of reasons why LOTR was a much better trilogy.
