Well at least that wasn't so dark people couldn't watch it and a whole dothraki civilization suicides into the darkness only to magically reappear after a dragon got sniped from 2km with a ballista from a swaying ship that was invisible until that point.
Knowing now what went on behind the scenes of The Hobbit movies such as little time for pre-production and Jackson having to put it all together as he went along, I think they were pretty much as good as they could have been.
Watching some of the behind the scenes stuff on the LOTR movies really shows how the time they had to make the movies helped them come to the right decisions in the end. From things as simple as the size of the Witch King's mace to big stuff like whether Aragorn should be fighting Sauron at the Black Gate all benefitted from having time to work it out, Jackson didn't have that luxury with The Hobbit. If he had, I reckon some of the things we didn't like would have been much better.
