The special effects in Towers were incredible. Two words: Helm's Deep <P>I agree - Gollum was killer! Loved him!!! And Andy Serkis is a master of motion and voice. When reading the books, it was kinda hard to imagine what exaclty a 'gollum' sound was (with no basis for comparison). Andy did it to perfection.<P>I LOVED the Stinker/Slinker scene! And remember, whenever something goes wrong in Tolkien, we can blame it on mankind. For instance, Gollum going "bad" again upon his capture. That wasn't Frodo's fault, it was Faramir's. And any time I can blame something on the movie character of Faramir, I will. Dude was trippin BIG TIME.
