"The Ring" sounds a bit to simplistic for me. Sort of like calling Jaws "The Shark." Any book or movie whose title is a direct reference to the main character/theme seems to be weakened in my opinion. A reference is nice, but tactfully.

"Lord of the Rings" seems to have a mystic element to it as well which I think Tolkien wanted.
