Which series of films do you think marks Peter Jackson's golden era in film directing and why?

Lord Of The Rings Trilogy, for sure. Those movies were all amazing.
Fellowship introduced us to the realm and story of LotR expertly, and for an introductory movie there was so much action and interesting events. All of the scenes were acted brilliantly and the effects were groundbreaking for their time, in a similar fashion to Jurassic Park, actually. The Two Towers was even better, adding more story, characters, the most epic battle I've ever seen on screen, and more urgency to the story. After this movie, I was literally excited to watch the last installment. Everything was done perfectly. Everything. You actually felt connected to the world, and scared for the characters. And at the same time, this movie was full of action and carnage. So epic. The third movie... Oh my god. Best trilogy finale ever made, IMO. The story became much less important in this movie, as everything reached climax and so many epic things happened. The battles, the intense moments, and the emotion at the end (which was surprising). I can't say any words to describe how awesome that movie was. It has earned its 8.9 on IMDB for sure.
Anyway, whilst the Hobbit series had its moments, it just wasn't the same. There were some truly amazing scenes, such as the final battle in the latest movie and the whole Smaug scene (freaking amazing in 3-D). But it wasn't as grand and immersive as the LotR trilogy. The story was much slower paced, and less exciting (why did they stretch into 3 movies? 1 or even 2 would've been fine, but I guess money is more important!) The acting was less believable (although Bilbo was played expertly) and there was this soppy love story crap thrown in the movie that WASN'T EVEN IN THE BOOK. LotR stayed true to it's content, but the Hobbit changed many things up for no particular reason but only to draw in more casual viewers in money grabbing efforts. I was disappointed by this. But that isn't to say the Hobbit films aren't spectacular, because they are. The visuals, acting, and the great and intense fight scenes were amazing to view and experience. Just not as much so as LotR trilogy, IMO.

I agree completely, LOTR just seemed more complete overall, the main problem with the Hobbit is that the whole one book story was expanded and stretched into 3 long movies, the last film in particular is evidence for how this just doesn't work.

I agree that the lord of the rings were better than the hobbit but I give the hobbit more credit than most. Due to the progression and pacing of the films. It perfectly fits how a film should be paced. First film started slow with introduction, picked up with a balanced pacing with the rising action in the second and the climax of the thrid film with very fast pacing. The lord of the rings had this as well but it wasn't as profound as it was in the hobbit. Also stretching it into 3 films was kinda weird for such a small book but I think it was great. More middle earth the better and they give you a satisfying conclusion to the story. Staying true to the original content imo isn't important as this is Peter Jackson's film. J. R. R. Tolkien can make his own damn film if people wanted to be exactly like the book(Same thing with comic book movies). Though not to say things were perfect in the hobbit. Imo they shouldn't have killed Smaug off within like 2 freaking minutes in and made him partake in the final battle(If you are going to change a film from the source material like they did then they should have changed other things like this).
Out of the three hobbit films the Desolation Of Smaug is definitely the best out of the three btw. Also I like how they tied in the lord of the rings with the Hobbit whole necromancer side plot. Also I focused on the hobbit in this post as the posts above focused more on Lord of the rings. So yeah, Lord of the Rings is better but the Hobbit is still great.
