While I would admit that ASOIAF's character have far more complexity than LOTR's, I would not call LOTR's characters "one-dimensional."
Smeagol/Gollum
Boromir
Galadriel
Denethor
Just to name a few have degrees of complexity.
PLUS, LOTR lends itself to a "simpler" story because it IS (quest to destroy the ring). ASOIAF has no "single" theme/story. This is not a criticism (fan of both), just an observation.

The characters you listed do go through conflict, but it's always of the sort that is "powerful external evil making them not be themselves because they are actually good people". They all fell under the spell of the ring. Even Aragorn and Gandalf are tempted by it. To me, that doesn't really make them more complex.
But I would much rather watch LOTR movies than GoT TV show.
