Well The Hobbit was the first book though. I'd guess due to how short it is and how it's a much smaller scale story.

Hobbit isnt as entertaining and LOTR has more iconic characters.

The Hobbit was a cash grab by the studio that Peter Jackson wasn't really passionate about and it showed. Why do you think they stretched three films out of a single book?

So much this. The first Hobbit movie was 9 fucking chapters of the book, well under 100 pages, and I knew the others were going to be even worse... and I was right.
