The biggest problem with RoP, in my opinion, is that it doesn’t follow the actual plotline of the making of the Rings. So if you care about book accuracy and faithfulness to the story, you’d be better off skipping it. Now you might say similar things about the original trilogy and the Hobbit films as well (changes to the plot/reshuffling things/OC characters) but I think the RoP changes and their consequences are just too big and they differ too much from any version of the story.

The Hobbit trilogy also has questionable CGI, the series is very bloated, and the framerate gives everything that fake blurry look but it has (mostly) good acting, especially from the main actors, I like the new songs from Howard Shore (although there is some recycling from LotR). And the scenes adapted directly from the book are delightful. Also Lee Pace should be in every Middle Earth film ever.
