Recently been continually debating the Hobbit vs. LOTR with a friend and which one is the better movie series.
To be clear, I love them both, and think they're both masterfully done, but if I had to choose one it would for sure be the Hobbit. Martin Freeman is a better actor than any actor in any of the LOTR movies, and you get the best of both worlds with Gandalf being in the Hobbit as well.
Not to mention how much better the contributing characters in the fellowship are in the Hobbit... They're badass dwarves that fight and don't run and hide like hobbits.
I love LOTR, don't get me wrong, but to me, the Hobbit is the better series. your thoughts?
