There's one thing I don't like about the Gollum-becomes-Sméagol-again scene. To me, one of the chief reasons for the scariness of Gollum is that most times, you don't know who you're dealing with. The line between the stinker and the slinker is very blurry and he can change from one moment to the other. But from this scene on, Gollum/Sméagol is no longer a mystery in the movie and his actions are suddenly quite predictable, sadly.
Nevertheless, the scene itself is brilliant, not least because of Andy Serkis.

I also like it when Faramir says Sam's line about the dead man from Harad. It's like the authors say: it really carries a lot more weight when spoken by a soldier.
