This. The Hobbit movies are not bad, but… they are not good unfirtunately. I love the book but the movies added too much stuff that just isn’t there.
The Lord of the Rings movies are a masterwork though.
If you want to watch the Hobbit movies I’d recommend watching them after the LotR movies, even though they are chronologically set before. That way you can enjoy it more when you meet characters like Legolas that are in the Hobbit movies but you have no clue who they are. All the character development happens in the LotR movies.
