I think the biggest thing Jackson got wrong was the over abundance of CGI in the Hobbit trilogy. It came off way too cartoonish.

The Lord of the Rings blended miniatures, CGI, and real stuntmen almost seamlessly. The battles had a sense of realism and scale to them as a result.

This, and I don't think it's close. It always boggles me when 15 year old movies look better and are a less jarring experience than new releases.

I only watched the first one and I made an improvement edit on the spot - just have the "My precious" scene with Gollum and Bilbo - have occasional interruptions of sound from the battle in the goblin city, and then have Bilbo come outside and see the Dwarves all fricked up - dented helmets, bruised, dirty, arms in slings, broken weapons, etc., and say, "What happened to you guys?"

Makes the movie cheaper and better. Win-win.
