True; No one can have everything and see every movie.

In this case though, we're dealing with a very limited playing-field, namely cinematic adaptions of Tolkien's work; That limits the amount of time and money one needs to spend. Hypothetically, had I myself not liked PJ's LOTR, I would still see PJ's the Hobbit, because I'd consider the time and cost of three movies spread over a period of two-and-a-half years, to be a more than reasonable price for the potential reward; A cinematic adaption of Tolkien's work that I would end up liking.
As it turned out, I loved PJ's LOTR, and I expect to love the Hobbit as well; I just have a tendacy to play devil's advocate when I think others are treated unfairly.

As you say though, it's up to each and everyone one of us to decide whether the potential reward is worth the risk; Others shouldn't decide it for us (unless asked for). That's why I'm not a fan of "don't like it, don't see it" in this context. If someone did not like PJ's LOTR, but still wants to see PJ's the Hobbit just in case they end up liking it, then let them, I say. I'd commend them for being open-minded enough to give PJ another chance.
