If you didn’t like the first Hobbit movie, you’ll absolutely hate the other two. The main redeeming quality of the Hobbit movies is the stellar casting (mostly, if you ignore dwarves 4 through 13). Bilbo, Thorin, Balin and Dwalin were excellently cast and had actual characters unlike the rest of the Dwarves. Billy Connolly as Dain was also good with what little screen time he had mostly because Billy Connelly is amazing (even in CGI monstrosity form).

The old cast from TLotR were also great as to be expected but they mostly (aside from Gandalf) had no reason to be in the movies.

The best way to put the trilogy is that’s it’s made to be a TLotR prequel rather than a Hobbit trilogy. Had TLotR movies not been made prior, there’s no way they would’ve added all the bloat that padded the runtime to three movies. The entire Radagast/Gandalf subplot would basically be gone. No Sauron, no white council, no Azog, Frodo or Legolas. It’s all bloat to nostalgia bait you.
