So yeah, I've seen all 3...
The ring itself, apart from (I think) swaying your good-bad ratio, and working for you/not working for you, and alerting the underlings of the big-bad (I'll be fucked if I can remember ANY lotr names...Sauron was it??) to your location, aaand probably a bunch of other stuff some nerd will no doubt point out...it makes you invisible right?
So, I was just thinking about this - WHY then, in the beginning of the first LOTR, the big battle where they originally overthrew the bad guy by cutting his "ring finger" off, was HE not invisible?
I mean you'd think that even if it was by his choice whether he was invisible or not, in a combat situation, invisibility would be an advantage...
So - what the hell?? Why wasn't he invisible?
