Imo, these movies should be called Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings because he changed too much of the story and characters to be called JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings.
The movies were good for what they are but they're not the story from the books. Every secondary character in the movies are the opposite of what they were in the books. Faramir agreed with Frodo and sent him on his way in the book, he didn't try to bring him back to his dad and when Frodo shows the ring to the Nazgul he'd call the other Nazgul and they'd take the ring right there, game over. Theoden didn't treat Grima poorly in the book, he did in the movie. After Gandalf killed the Balrog he died because the mountain fell on him, no mention in the movie. Just because you changed so much of the story doesn't mean you delete or change the ending and make your own ending. If he hadn't changed so much of the movie to begin with, he could've had the actual ending.
So no, it's not the best interpretation of the books. The Bakshi version is a much better telling of the books, but it's much less visually appealing.
The Hobbit should've been one or two movies, max. There isn't enough content in the story to make three movies no matter how much you add to the story. And then again, you run into too many changes to call it the original story.
Hopefully there will be actual versions of the books made into Movies or a 9-part series would be best.
They couldn't even have it in the theatrical release . Had to go in the extended cut. Maybe PJ will give us the old forest in the 25 th anniversary addition. It's only a few years from now and he will de working on middle earth stuff so it would be a perfect time to fix it
