I think they did a really great job portraying Gollum. I was worried that they would make him as sympathetic and loveable as they did in the second movie - which I enjoyed, don't get me wrong, but I didn't think it would fit so well with the events of RotK. Well, I was pleased to find that, thanks to that trick he pulled trying to drive Frodo and Sam apart, I hated him with a passion, just as I'd hoped. Sam is my favourite, always has been, always will be, and I could have quite happily throttled Gollum for the way he was trying to turn Frodo against Sam. And then of course, I'm never a fan of *anyone* who tries to feed others to spiders . . .
