I wouldn't depict Gollum as entirely evil. Anyway, I always hoped (until I finished reading LotR for the first time) that he could become Smeagol again. But still, Gollum's whole evil behaviour (his treason, etc.) is due to the Ring, so if Gollum is evil, the Ring is it even more, not to speak of its maker Sauron, who was after all only a follower of Morgoth.
Greetings,
EfR
