the"Gollum-side" wasn't cute but the "Sméagol-side" was (well, that's what i think)!<BR>but Serkis and the group who created Gollum did excellent job. Gollum doesn't have to look like 556-year-old creature since Frodo didn't look like 50-year-old whereas Bilbo looked though he was 111-years old! the Ring stopped physical aging though years passed.<P>so, a proper portray to Gollum would tell that he is very old hobbit-like creature who is consumed by the One Ring. he is foul but every now and then he shows his nicer side as Sméagol who is like little burdened memory from better days...<BR>oh, well, the last sentence was really weird, but you know where i'm heading to.<BR>(and sorry my bad english)
