Jackson did OK with LOTR although I think his three films showed a steady decline in quality and adherence to the books.
His Hobbit movies? OMG. Awful. Just awful. And why more than one??
I’ve yet to see those because I just can’t allow that be be the last vision of the books I see.
I would be curious how the business side of Amazon bought off on this idea.
Frankly, the whole Hobbit era of movies were pitiful and just weren’t worth watching (I paid for the first one, and saw the remainder via airline travel). At the end, I felt like I’d been at some cheapo amusement park and going from land to land.
I’m feeling thin, Gandalf, sort of stretched,
Like a book made into three movies....
Oh good, I’m not the only one who thought The Hobbit films were awful.
Would be better if Amazon did LOTR and the Hobbit completely over again...and this time, stick to the books!

Could not agree more. The first LOTR was fairly acceptable (after the opening scene); it was pretty much downhill from there. But the Hobbit movies were execrable.
