If it would have come out first, it wouldn’t get nearly as much hate.
It’s problem was it came out after a theatrical masterpiece that will never be replicated.
And if it had come out first, we wouldn't have Spider Legolas hogging screentime in a film he shouldn't have been in, period.
Point taken
Also probably would have gotten much less hate if it wasn't itself a trilogy.
There's a fanedit that someone did that condensed the trilogy down to one 5 hour movie that a lot of people (myself included) like more than the movies.
