Unfortunately, in ROtK PJ and Andy Serkis got too cute for themselves.
The movie Gollum of TTT was accurate, and was worthy of Frod's hoping to save him (for several reasons) but PJ decided to change Gollum in ROtK and essentially
make his intentions malevolent from the start, not the conflicted Gollum of the book and movie TTT, a character worthy of Frodo hoping Gollum could be redeemed- that hope being an essential aspect of Frodo's moral growth in
the tale.
