<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Gollum drowning like he was just in water was... odd.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> I think Jackson did this to show the hold the ring had on Gollum. There was almost a look of joy on his face as he fell off the chasm, and 'drowned' in the larva. Think of the pain he must have been going through, but this was totally eclipsed by his love/lust for the Ring, which he had finally got back into his hands. He seemed to be blissfully unaware he was about to die. <P>Excellent idea from Jackson et all.<P>Other than that, I was hoping to see a more 'evil' look on Frodo's face as he put on the ring, but the shot of Sauron's eye immeadiately looking towards Mount Doom, and the Nazgul veering off towards the mountain was perfect. Bravo!
