What went wrong?

The studio fucked him over and gave him a very short deadline

Peter Jackson had no faith in the film, and just churned them out to satisfy the shareholders

first movie was ok
other two were videogame-tier cutscene shitfests

This.

Just compare the behind the scenes of the LotR trilogy and then the Hobbit trilogy. You'll see why.

Fucking everything

The script? Where do you even start? What word to pick

Making a Hobbit adaptation as a follow-up up to LOTR

It's based on a kids' book and is 3 movies instead of at most, two.

300 page children's bedtime story streched into 3 movies that didn't need to be made

It was just a ""movie"" which sole purpose was to milk cash out of the LotR movies, it was complete shit of a series, but even if it was shitter, it would have made the same amount of money.

>studo make hobbit movie, also make 3 movies in 2 years
>wait
>make that three movies
>also there are too many males in this series
>make it a bad ass elf chick who falls in love across races too

Just CGI my shit up

At least LOTR had SOME practical effects

No it wasn't. Fuck you and your rabbits.

>people don't know Jackson bought and Audit against new line cinema over pay disputes relating to the first LOTR movies
>Del Toro was bought on because of this
>shit happened

It is literally, literally all New Lines fault. Blame hacks, blame del taco all you want. New Line botched this from LOTR and not paying what is owed, in the contracts they fucking created.
