Especially as the budget for the films was literally more than double LotR (the exact opposite of what happens with bad sequels) and everyone was riding the high of knowing "we did it once, let's do it again."
Ironically, its one of the few problems that has nothing to do with the trilogy stretch, which is what caused nearly every other problem with the movies.
