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

First of all let me say that I am a huge(as all of you are) HP fan. I 
have seen the movie 4 times already and will probably will see it 
again soon when I am not able to actually quote the lines!

Secondly, Lord of the Rings was an excellent movie and far 
better made than HP and the Sorcere'rs stone. The cast was 
fantastic and the story was amazing. I cried the last part of the 
movie not only because it was touching but because it was a 
beautiful story of courage and bravery.   I really don't think that 
there is any way to compare the two since Lord of The Rings has 
a whole mythology and language attached to it. If you have ever 
read any of the books, Tolkien created a whole history. It seems 
that he spent many years working on this and I think that the 
movie reflected the beauty of his work.

The cast was together for two years in New Zealand and you can 
see not only the love for the story but the friendship these actors 
share especially in the fellowship of the ring(which consists of 9 
people).  I love both movies but I feel that they are in completely 
different categories and honestly cannot be compared not only 
because of the nature of the story but also because of the 
writers. Although JK Rowling is a brilliant write,r she is not an 
English scholar as Tolkien was and she has not created a 
whole history and language for us as he did. There is no way to 
truly compare these movies or the books that they are based 
upon.
