<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Am I dumb, or was the Gollum CG better this time?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I agree, it did seem better, but only in parts. I think part of it is that I am just more used to seeing gollum, I am a little less critical now. <P>I liked the fact that they showed more of the Smeagol story at the beggining, but I didn't really like how they showed it. Trust PJ to start the last movie with this creepy looking creature who we haven't met yet playing with a gloobery worm! And his progression was really weird. None of the stages that we saw had enough points that were similar to really work. <P>I usually pictured gollum as a more evil character in the books, so I am glad that we saw more of that in this film. <P>My one complaint, for now, at the end, when Gollum is fighting an invisible Frodo, it looks very computer animated.
