Has Anyone Seen "Rings"? How Does It Compares to HP?

[shelaghcol]

Okay, I lied. I'm posting a reply already. <g>

I saw LOR-FOTR on opening night and loved it!

At the risk of stalling heated discussions, I'd actually suggest 
*not* comparing them at all.

They're two entirely different kinds of movies. Harry Potter is far 
more whimsical in its nature (even with the Voldemort factor) than 
LOR.

About the only things these two movies have in common is:

They have wizards
They have small heroes
They have a lot of special effects
They're about battles of good and evil

Even the style of the books is vastly different (without going into a 
book discussion).

LOR is absolutely not a children's movie and your kids would probably 
be pretty scared if you took them to see it. 

For me, honestly, there's just no comparing the two movies. 

IMHO, of course.
