The Hobbit was made into three movies. If anything it's bloated and full of unnecessary scenes and story elements. 
Elf/Dwarf love? Get to fuck with that shite.
LotR is overall just so much better made, but I do love Martin Freeman as Bilbo. I think he really carries the films. >

You're wrong though.
Lord of the Rings will always be the MVP. >

It's a matter of OG lore and how it was portrayed as well as obviously there is more action in a shorter time in the Hobbit as it spans one movie for its story.
