I don’t hate the films, there are some genuinely awesome moments. But god the amount of filler crap makes me sick.

I don't think it needed to be 3x movies.

This. No matter who directed it or what the timetable was, the idea of making 3 movies out of one book (a book that's smaller than any of the LotR books!) was just a complete failure from the start.

Even if Jackson had teamed up with del Toro and then just for fun brought in Spielberg, and they had ten years to make the whole thing, it still wouldn't have changed the fact that there wasn't enough content, and there still would have been enough filler to make Tolkien roll over in his grave.

Luckily people have edited the three films down by removing the crap: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheHobbit/c..._fanedits_and/. If I ever re-watch the Hobbit it will definitely be one of those edits.
