   I don't recall the Hobbit movies being better, but I do recall liking   
   all three of them.

   I plan on watching the two trilogies in a couple of years.  I will   
   probably just watch the extended movies and not go anywhere near the   
   extras.  Between owning the DVDs, blu-rays, and now 4K discs I don't   
   think I've ever watched any of the extras.  I'm not even sure if I've   
   listened to any of the umpteen commentary tracks on the discs.  It's   
   just so over whelming I'm not even going to bother to try.
