Took my kids tonight... this was their first exposure to JRRRRRRRR Tolkien's work. My son was blown away... my daughter was a bit creeped out... Some of those trolls, orcs and goblins... along with "Whatever the ****" Gollum is... kinda gross, but overall definitely a beautiful movie. My kids want to watch LOTR now.

Gollum(Smeagal) is a Stoor hobbit(the kind that lives near water, like the Brandybucks) that has changed physically over his vastly extended lifespan due to the corruption of the Ring.

They should also READ the Hobbit, if they're in that 9-12 or so age range (or even older).

Lord of the Rings is, ummm, "kinda worth watching" in a "the sun is kinda hot" and "Natalie Portman is kinda attractive" sort of way.

The Hobbit is the story of how a Hobbit got pulled into an adventure to help some Dwarves recover their lost homeland, and as a side note finds a magical ring along the way. The book is written for kids (pre-teen to early teen). The Lord of the Rings is much more somber, and more seriously written. It reveals what the ring that Bilbo found really is and a broader story around it. Since you don't actually seem to know (a fact that I really can't wrap my brain around), I won't say more.

Be advised that the Lord of the Rings movies are somewhat more graphic/disturbing than anything in the Hobbit. If your daughter could barely handle the Hobbit, I'm not sure she should be seeing Uruk-hai and Nazgul just yet.
