My thoughts: the LOTR movies were great, though the Elves at Helm's Deep were not a good choice. I suppose they needed to show the Elves were fighting too.

However, the Hobbit movies were ruined by Warner Bros and Guillermo del Toro. Focus groups, the bloating into three movies, the addition of Azog, the overuse of Legolas, and the character of Alfrid Lickspittle all contributed to the Hobbit (while being good movies) not comparing to LOTR in the slightest.
