3. The Hobbit Trilogy (2012-2014)

Unlike the epic love Lord of the Rings, Peter Jackson's The Hobbit Trilogy extended one book into three overblown movies. Although resplendent to look at, too much reliance on CGI had watered down its emotional value. Spectators also complained that the added love triangle, coupled with filler material, had detracted from Bilbo's lovable adventure. Even stalwarts like Martin Freeman and Ian McKellen couldn't make this trilogy conjure the same magic as their film on the predecessor. Critics argue that its indulgent runtime and lack of narrative focus weakened its legacy.
