In contrast, the early song number is the only part of the Hobbit trilogy that I didn't sleep through.

Home invasion by singing dwarfs was already hilarious in the books. That it's a quality bit of chorus singing in the film just makes it that much better, to me.

The rest of the Hobbit trilogy felt meandering and unfocused to me.

In fairness, I really desperately needed a nap the last couple times I tried to watch them.
