For me the opening scene of ROTK was a bit... weak. I thought the two actors, mainly the guy who played Deagol, we're a little too hammy. I also thought that the 'Gollum transformation' was very poor and untrue to Tolkien. The whole scene was rushed and stupid and shouldn't have been at the beginning of ROTK anyway.

P.S. The whole 'ring addiction' thing that they had going in the trilogy was ridiculous. It should have been portrayed much more subtly.
