I gave up on PJ movies after the first Hobbit movie atrocity (although the Long
expected Party beginning was acceptable).

PJ has shown a long decline from the pretty good FoTR, thru worsening TTT and
RoTK. But afteer the first Hobbit absurdities (including making Goblin Town a laughably improbable scene---in the book the size of goblins, escape from them, etc, are believable in Tolkien's subcreation. PJ just has become more and more cartoonish. Exactly what Tolkien feared of "Hollywoodism".
