Reply To: Enjoying Peter Jackson’s Not the Hobbit

They’re fine as “not the Hobbit” movies, but really nothing more. As a Hobbit fan, even going so far as to get a reprint of the 1937 first edition (the ring scene is different, later changed to tie into LOTR), the movies are ghastly. Ignore what they were supposed to be, sit back, enjoy, and there’s enough fluffy visual candy to make them light entertainment.
