This is without a doubt the best of the hobbit movies, and while its still not as good as any of the LOTR movies, its not far behind. The criticism against these movies are mainly from people expecting a new LOTR trilogy, which is unreasonable considering the hobbit being a much smaller and child-friendly book. Peter Jackson has really made the best out of the material from the book, and having read the book i cant really see how it could have been done any better. There's probably more happening in this third movie than in the two previous combined, and the dragon and war scenes are some of the highlights of the movie. Its also the funniest of all the middle-earth movies, with the obnoxious character Alfrid providing a lot of funny moments throughout the movie.
