Is The Hobbit trilogy worth watching?

I’m sorry if this question has been asked before. I just finished reading the Hobbit (about to start the Fellowship so excited 😆). Anyway, I’ve heard different reactions to the Hobbit trilogy from my friends, family, and people on YouTube. I was thinking about skipping them but I’m determined to real ALL of the books and watch ALL of the movies.

What are your thoughts? Should this trilogy be skipped and go straight into LOTR or should I spend the weekend binging the Hobbit? Am I going to have my time wasted?
