The Lord of the Rings is something so very special and three favorite films of all time. What Jackson did with them is something amazing and everything I love about the books is there on screen. That being said I loved AUJ. It has a few issues which I've talked about before but I think it's a pretty darn good film. Like you it had me smiling from start to finish. I felt it was every bit as good at being The Hobbit as The Lord of the Rings is at being itself. The additions to the film I also really enjoyed. So I walked away feeling the love and feel from AUJ that I do from the book. I also like Thorin in the movie more than his book counterpart and that's going to make more of a impact when he dies. I think DoS is going to be great fun and another winner for films based on Middle-earth. I loved what we saw in the trailer for the most part and it looks to continue the feel of The Hobbit book. All in all I love that each series feels like their book counterparts but connected at the same time. Same way the books are. In the end I love what we're getting and it makes for a great experience.
