The scene at the Cracks of Doom was not exactly what I expected. I always pictured Gollum falling immediately after biting off Frodo's finger--all in one sort of motion. (Will have to go back to the book to see--perhaps that's a misconception on my part). When it didn't happen that way, I was afraid getting Gollum over the edge would have to be contrived or that Frodo would end up pushing him (that would have been completely wrong). Not sure how I feel about this scene now--will have to wait til I've seen it at least one more time.
