Better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

In my opinion, this is the perfect explanation for this trilogy. Regardless of the criticism and complaints about the way these films were done, it is better to have them and not live up to expectations than to have not had them at all.
I now have three whole new musical albums to lose myself in. I have a whole slew of new characters to invest in and follow their path. I have 9+ hours of additional film, with almost 30 hours of special features with in depth interviews, inside information, and a whole lot of WETA behind the scenes and their magical touch on Middle Earth.
I can go on and on for all of eternity, but you get my drift. I would not have it any other way. Obviously, there are faults. But in my opinion, it's worth it. More than worth it.
Does anyone else agree?

No, if PJ didn't do them someone else would have, maybe someone who was inspired by the greatness of LOTR and wanted a similar theme to run through The Hobbit. As it stands, we won't be getting another Hobbit film in our life time.

All 3 Hobbit films share a quantity of flaws but there are so many awesome parts that make the whole experience truly satisfying. I for once am very grateful that these films were green-lit and managed to find their way into us,the fans of Middle Earth.

But fortunately it proved otherwise - and I agree with you - for all the faults, I'm glad we got a "matching pair" of adaptations....
Now it is easier to look forward to someone else's take on M-e in the future!

humbleness is the key for this trilohy

LOTR movies were based on a GRAND history. Hobbit not so. Too good were LOTR movies(in part because of the book that was better even) and perhaps too long (since they were done until the hobbit has benn released. Too much praise has been given to LOTR in that time, so Im pretty sure mucho of the things to come would have been taken under a very heavy trial.
Uf we get humble (wich is by the way one of the most, if not the most, important lessons we can learn from the character of Bilbo)Hobbit movies are a gift to any more or less audience around the world. An enssemble of not only truly good craftmen and women, but the result of their best efforts

LotR has many what I would call 'faults', but the good things about it outweigh the faults, massively. Same for the Hobbit – this last film is amazing.

Re LoTR am feeling a bit raw re the constant comparisons, in light of the fact that I personally can't watch those films without ticking off my own PERSONAL annoyances.
And overall, I like the Hobbit movies better "flaws" and all. But at the end of the day, IMO Peter Jackson and WETA made magic, where there was none, and might not have ever been, or *horrors* in another director's hands all of ME might have been set in modern times, or been steampunk, or set into the future.
There is no end to the warping that can be done to classic tales - think of the last Three Musketeers movie AND the one before that *cough*.

I think there is a strong likelihood that another The Hobbit film will happen within this "lifetime"...

...i.e. - in another 15 years or so, if not sooner.
Perhaps it will be a less ambitious undertaking, but it will be just as sincere an effort as the previous Hobbit films.
If Godzilla, Planet of the Apes, Hulk, Spiderman, King Kong, The Hobbit and countless other films have had multiple remakes and reboots during my lifetime, another Hobbit film would not surprise me.
Heck, if another version came out next year I would go see it.
... As it stands, we won't be getting another Hobbit film in our life time.

And yes, the flims now pass into legend. With all their flaws and their highpoints as legends do. It's been a wonderful ride. I would go again in a heartbeat.
