[dancing spawn of ungoliant]

I agree with Encaitare. I think the Gollum we saw through the three films was in a way quite cute. Those RotK opening scene images were in my opinion too hideous to watch much longer. How can something so ugly (like the look Gollum had when he crawled into the cave in Misty Mountains) turn into such a sympathetic creature as he finally became? Anyway, I wouldn't like to watch him in the Hobbit in some of his metamorphose looks.
