Gollum was actually a thing in the movie I did like (so THERE!). He was very close to my mental image. And the voice- well, I'm sorry you don't like it, but it's not that different from the Gollum-voice JRRT himself used in reading 'Riddles in the Dark.'

However, like every other character in the movie, Gollum suffered from bad dialogue. The split-personality thing, as usual, lacked all subtlety: PJ's 50,000 watt PA again.
