"By Elbereth and Luthien the fair, you shall have neither the Ring nor me!" ~Frodo
"And then Gandalf arose and bid all men rise, and they rose, and he said: 'Here is a last hail ere the feast endeth. Last but not least. For I name now those who shall not be forgotten and without whose valour nought else that was done would have availed; and I name before you all Frodo of the Shire and Samwise his servant. And the bards and the minstrels should give them new names: Bronwe athan Harthad and Harthad Uluithiad , Endurance beyond Hope and Hope Unquenchable.." ~Gandalf, The End of the Third Age , from The History of Middle Earth series

It doesn't look that great on a screen the size of your fingernail.

There could have been some on location battles in the hobbit films. But at least locations were used quite often.

... and nowhere in New Zealand or on earth that would give them the front gate of Erebor, the Lonely Mountain, Ravenhill and the ruins of Dale. Most of that would have had to be done in the computer anyway. But surely Pelennor Fields and the Black Gate were also CGI?
And as you say, they did use a lot of real locations - pretty spectacular ones too - elsewhere in the films.

At least they shot the Dale fights on a real large outdoor set.
They could have shot the Moria battle where they shot it in FOTR, but I guess they didn't realise it would be a big sequence when initially booking locations to film.
It's just that some LOTR shots are so spectacular because they had loads of horses charges on actual fields. I think it's mainly a result of the two to three film split. If they'd known all along how the script would turn out, there probably would have been more location shots.
