Jackson tried too hard to tie that into LOTR, and it was way too long. It only needed two parts, not three.

I haven't watched GoT so I can't really comment on Sophie in that one.
Dragonslayer was silly crap, but the original Conan movie is a classic. The character of Valeria was great in that, really convincng as a strong, capable female warrior and very relatable.

Liv Tyler was good as Arwen. Eowyn was the worst thing in the movie. They totally miscast her, as bad as Hayden as Anakin in the Star Wars Prequels.

The Hobbit didn't need two parts, just one.
