The Hobbit trilogy is nowhere near as good as the almost mythic Lord of the Rings trilogy. This is a fact that no amount of fanboy defending can get around. In fact, some would even insist that they outright stunk. So what happened? How did the same team that produced such a sublime, Oscar winning adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic …
