And every web critic out there keeps talking about how awful they are. They are often mentioned in the same breath as Batman and Robin and the Transformers movies. My close friends all like them but Darth Ender's post was the first time I had seen anything positive about them online and it seems most people cite them as proof that Peter Jackson is a no talent hack who got lucky with the Lord of the Rings films. So yeah I would say they are under rated.

You probably haven't seen my posts, then. I like the The Hobbit movies a lot more than the LotR movies.
