I also like the opening. Even though parts of it were over-exaggerated, it really got the point across. Two very good parts were 1) When you could clearly hear the ring chanting as Smeagol stared into it and 2) When, in the Misty Mountain cave, you see the single moment that embodies the transformation, when Smeagol's bright little hobbit eyes become those "pale lamp-like eyes" of Gollum.<P>The only thing bad about it was the fact that Deagol seemed a bit odd. All of the shots he was in (underwater, climbing out, wrestling Smeagol) seemed strangely non-professional. Just some pet peeve of mine, though. Overall it was very good.
