Yeah this is top tier stuff.

Realistically speaking they did everything about as good as possible given the nature of the film industry. Peter Jackson and his crew truly accomplished something great. I am sure there are thing that couldve been done better but man its truely incrediblewha went into this.

A more faithful to the book adaptation simply could not have worked for myriad reasons. Similar reasons to how Game of Thrones even with vastly more time and overall a larger budget over time still had to excise/after a vast amount of content even before running out of books to adapt.

It takes a lot more overall collective time, money, manpower, transportation, legal work, logistics, and talent to create a large scale visual work than a large scale written work.

The hobbit movies are quite sad in comparison. There was a lot of behind the scenes legal/corporate bullshit that happened that hamstringed those movies. Frankly its a Miracle they werent a straight up disaster.

Still enjoyable and they do have some really great moments but just doesnt nail that same feel. It feels less real(too much greenscreen/CGI not enough practical effects), and more like it was hitting some focus group/corporate checklists. Not enough action. Needs a strong female love interest. Needs more Legolas. Lets make it a Trilogy for $$$
