Cringe @ Hobbit criticism.
The source material ain't no LOTR. The Hobbit largely sucks for a screen adaptation. Jackson did an amazing job with the series.
Can't believe some losers in a basement have something to say about it. I guess they haven't read the book.

I personally believe the only worthy retelling of The Hobbit for the Big Screen is this one:

This is , from all the fanedits, the one more close to the source material, removing some , to my geekish soul, atrocious extras brought by the original film trilogy.
I have read the original Hobbit book (have it on more than language to be honest) and been a Tolkien fan since childhood, the movie trilogy by itself was poorly done in some parts, added unnecessary clutter and weird backstories simply made out of thin air to please some random hollywood execs to try to focus the movie into a new venue of exploitation for the IP

Add to that the strange pace set in the films (the fanedits usually diverge mostly on the pacing, which is one of the most glaring flaws of the trilogy) and to top it off, some poorly done CGI on the Battle of the Five Armies that actually makes you cringe , specially when you compare it to the much more robust LotR Trilogy.
Yes, we can all agree to disagree, but not everyone pointing the flaws on the Hobbit Trilogy is a basement dweller with armchair general delusions.
It is a well known movie, and highly criticized due to its plethora of conflicts, mistakes and drama, nd to top it off, some of the worst fanservice.
