My favourite film of the franchise so far has to be THE TWO TOWERS, if only for the magnificent assault at Helm's Deep which seems to take it's inspiration from the real-life attack on Badajoz during the Peninsular War in 1812.
While I enjoyed all the films, I thought that THE HOBBIT stretched credibility a little too far during some scenes - notably the falling walkway in Goblin Town and the bending tree during the Warg attack - but all in all I think PETER JACKSON has done a great job with them.
