The Hobbit trilogy was not as successful as TLOTR because for me, Dwarves are not likable. "They hide in their mountains. They care nothing about the troubles of others." Alrond.
Seriously, Thorin Oakenshield is not Aragorn. He's too bitter and not a very good leader. People might say cuz he lost his home, but you know, his people still saw him as their King. Aragorn"s whole family line was dismissed and he lived in exile! Aragorn was not bitter and still a great leader. I'm just saying.
A Dwarf heavy movie was not appealing to me, even though it gave me more time in that world. It could've been told in 2 movies.

This movie should've been called, "The Dragon Under The Mountain" or maybe "The Search For Smaug". There was definitely no desolation of anything except the gold Smaug splattered all over the mountain side again! π
