That's fair: it's how I feel about the latter Hobbit films. And no one should feel bad for not enjoying something! I personally am enjoying it, though, especially viewing it a simply a retelling of the stories (like all adaptations ultimately are).
I feel the same about The Hobbit films though I LOVED Smaug.
