Right now I'd rank BOTFA as my favorite of the Hobbit trilogy and more entertaining than TTT. The perfection of FOTR and the flute music while Frodo climbs the mountain in ROTK make those two films pretty much untouchable though.
Don't forget all the "rising" that everyone would have to do. Rise of the Orcs, The Gondor Knight Rises, Dawn of the Rise of the Hellraiser Trolls, etc.

Don't forget the inevitable Disney buyout so that we can see Dain Ironfoot and his adopted daughter Merida having a final battle with Beorn up on Weathertop.
Come with me if you want to be the king under the mountain.
Frodo: "Wait, this is all wrong, how am I even in this spinoff?"
Arwen: "You aren't."

I don't know which will be more entertaining to witness, a-dev's face during Terminator Genisis or DiFabio's during Legolas's Mario Bros platform jumping.
I would pay to see either.
But I understand, pain of that magnitude should be in private.....hnnnng.

Somebody should do a Scott Pilgrim style edit of the final Legolas fight with little power up bars, extra lives appearing, etc.

Holy crap I envisioned that and I broke out in laughter.
I expect it will be pretty cool. A lack of Beorn and that stupid kiss are my main two issue with this movie.
Just got back from the film... Had it not been for the EE of DoS I would be doing a big, "I told you so" to Josh 
.... In the sense that DoS felt forced and sort of worthless and unfinished... I felt Beorn was a bore of a character in DOS that was unneeded... Josh told me I had to wait for the New film... This is where I would have said told you so because Beorn proved to be really a waste of screen time in the TC of DOS because of how little he is in BOTFA... But that was before I watched the EE version of DoS which I enjoyed much more then the TC and I actually got to like Beorn.
Having watched all three... I have to say I go back to my original thoughts... These films should have been limited to two films or just one 3 and 1/2 hour movie..
Take out all the Fan fiction Legolas and Tauriel parts, take out Beorn, take out Master of Lake Town and Alfrid (or limit their screen time), shorten some of the battles (Goblin town, Smaug under the mountain, and getting rid of the fan fiction elves would have helped the five army battle) and for me... Just get rid of the whole Sauron subplot and you would have had a pretty tight and very well done prequel.
Instead we get lots of bad CGI Legolas and Tauriel, a worthless Beorn, a boring Master of Lake Town and a disgusting (why is he getting all this screen time) Alfrid, and a (I am going to say it agin) dumb Gandalf who should have been a little more concerned about a Magic ring that the normally honest Bilbo lies to him about. Sure it might all be in Tolkein's Appendices... but that might be where they belong.
What we could have had was more time spent with the Dwarves and Bilbo and a more finely tuned story....
Now that is not to say I did not enjoy the film and or films... I just found them lacking and even a bit SW prequelish... Not in quality but in Bad and overdone CGI
What I did like however was that the battle of the five armies did not feel bigger then Helms deep or pelennor fields... I was worried that PJ would make that such an epic large scale battle it would make the other two big battles in LOTR feel small.
Because it was made into three films... BOTFA felt a bit empty and plotless.... I know we are suppose to watch them as a whole but I never felt that way with LOTR.. There just seemed to be a lack of heart in these three films... Something tht could have been solved by making it one long 3 1/2 hour film or two movies..
Of course my opinion could all change with the EE version and I am sure it will... But so far as far as TC go I think AUJ was the better of the two... Mostly because it felt like a complete film.. BOTFA was second and DOS was a distant third... Can't rate the EE until I see BOTFA... At the same time.... Should I have to wait until EE versions of films so that I can properly enjoy them?? I guess it really does not matter.
PS - I HATED Legolas jusmping on the falling bridge... That was awful.

Well, I for one would like love to see more of PJ's Middle Earth.
I get what you are saying.... I like PJ's Middle Earth also... But not at the expense of good story telling.
Again... These are good films... Just far from great... It could have been great IMO.
What stupid kiss??? I don't recall any kissing.

I leaned over and kissed Sam about halfway through the last film.
