Kids movie - no point in 2nd and 3rd parts

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2012)

I have to say I really liked the LoTR trilogy and I went with high expectations to The Hobbit.
But seriously, if the heroes manage to survive all that happens to them trough out the entire movie, is there any chance for the dragon in the cave? I haven't read the books so I assume at some point they will face the dragon in some form. The poor bad guy should use all that gold in the dwarf citadel to buy an LCD, see the 1st movie, open the hidden gate, roll over and die. He has no chance.
Sorry to be so sarcastic, but is there anything to see in the 2nd and 3rd movies, after seeing how the heroes defeated everything in the 1st?
