After seeing Rings, you were probably thinking, ''Gee, I wonder if the encroaching evil in J.R.R. Tolkien's epic was inspired by the industrialization of early-20th-century England?'' If so, then National Geographic's accomplished, scholarly — and redundant, given all the making-of press this flick's already gotten — doc is for you. If not, and you just wanted to know how Orlando Bloom (blond-tressed elf Legolas) might look with a black Mohawk, rent away. And get your punk-rocker fantasies under control. B
