Any fans of the Smeagol opening? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I didn't mind it, as good a scene to open the movie with as any in my opinion. But it could have been made a little shorter, the strangling did seem to go on for a long time. I don't mind the gore or anything, but it could have been a little shorter and snappier. But it was nice to see Andy Serkis in the flesh, and he did a good job. I can't say it changed my opinion on Gollum/Smeagol at all, because I still don't think he was that pleasant to begin with.
