I can see that, and I'd even call them straight up bad, but Id still say theyre totally worth a watch.

I'm always willing to give The Hobbit trilogy a little bit of a pass because as I understand it the original plan was for the first two movies to be an adaptation of the book and the third movie would be a collection of all the material bridging the Hobbit and The LotR trilogy brought together into an all-new story, but relatively late in the process the Tolkien estate rescinded the rights to tell those stories and the studio was forced to turn a two movie plot into a three movie plot.

So my real problem with the Hobbit isn't so much the story as it is the excessive use of CG after the original trilogy did such a wonderful job with practical effects.
