The main problems of the Hobbit movies

- 48fps

- 3D

- too much CGI

- too much "filler scenes" just to make the story into 3 movies

If the Hobbit was done on 24fps 35mm film with a blend of miniatures, matte paintings, animatronics and CGI and would be one 3 hour long movie, it would be so much better.

The PT had much more problems

- illogical plot filled with plot holes

- too much CGI

- undeveloped characters for which I don't care about

- bad acting

- bad directing

- bad editing etc

Seeing as I didn't watch The Hobbit in the cinema but at home, the frame rate and the 3D didn't touch me so I'm comparing like with like.

in that context The Hobbit films, compared to the PT are immeasurably better and flow quite well into The Lord of the Rings films. You could imagine the whole sequence as a very long modern mini-series along the lines of Game of Thrones.

The PT and the OT hardly connect if at all, they are as similar as two dissimilar things in pod *
