[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I liked Gollum. I always like Gollum! But his dastardly scheme to break apart Frodo and Sam had me angry (although it wasn't Gollum himself that I was angry with, if you know what I mean).<P>His fight scene with Frodo at Mount Doom was very exciting, and when Gollum finally laid hands on the Ring, the scene was both terrifying and hilarious at the same time. This little wretch suddenly becomes truly horrifying simply because he's standing up straight, clutching a ring, and surrounded by fire! (he was also surrounded by the most spine chilling music ever heard)<P>Genius. (In a different way from Tolkien's genius)
