I really meant no offense by calling it a children's movie. I was mistaken in calling it that and I apologize if I offended anyone. Maybe the terminology "fantasy movie" would have been a more apt description. There is, of course, some universal appeal to stories of this type. FWIW, I enjoy many movies which are ostensibly "children's movies" and did not mean to imply that I am necessarily "above" viewing them (within reason). I can still enjoy movies like Star Wars, Star Trek, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Ghostbusters, etc. although I realize that they were meant to appeal primarily to a young audience.I've never had much interest in the sword and sorcery genre, but it's clear that LOTR is much better than most.
