Gollum was very well acted and animated. I found him less interesting this time around because there was no more internal conflict. He was now "all evil all the time". At the same time, this set up some great scenes with Sam. The "sneaking" scene was especially good. I didn't like the transformation sequence because a real human in prosthetics doesn't look nearly as good as the CGI character. Kudos to the animators, motion capture guys and Andy Serkis.<P>-Lily
