"I did enjoy The Two Towers"

Was much excellent

And Gollum/Smeagal is my new favourite character... I was too lazy to read The Lord of the Rings but remember him in The Hobbit. Yep, it was excellent... especially the battle at Helms Deep. I might start reading The Return of the King to see what happens. Although, how annoying is Sam?

Urgh

" Bend over Mr. Frodo sir "

Overpowered by the ginger bumness of Sam.

Well, that and being lured by the dead things underneath.

I might watch it again

The battle at least

Oh here's a question... why did Frodo take a dive into the Dead marshes? Did the ring draw him to it or something.

I think they did brilliantly with the CGI of Gollum - They made it past that fine line between virtual and reality.

"Stupid fat hobbit, he ruinsed it"

Yeah, Gollum was flipping fantastic - both as a character and the special effects. Did anyone else see the MTV movie awards where they animated his acceptance speech next to that bloke who played him?

"Dobbie? Dobbie's a c**t!" - how good was that!

*I* thought it was ground-breaking.
Obviously you can do better and it ruined the entire film for you.

However, I employed suspension of disbelief and enjoyed the character.
I'm sure The Wal could do better with a crayon and some paper in between fighting a million "radgies" and stripping off in your garden.

"An a stunning CGI work as well, I forgot I was looking at a computer graphic after 30 seconds"

You're joking, right? Blatant CGI and some of the crossover stuff (where he interacts with the actors) looked pants. It's only slightly better than Episode 1 and that was made back in 1999.

Of course, I ranted about how pants the CGI work was in Lord Of The Rings ages ago when I first saw Fellowship. They should've got ILM to do it, would've been more expensive but the results are always better.

Gollum is ace and looks like my mates wide-eyed sister.

"My preciousssss"

" but the fat one knows, always watching us "

" it burns us "

The only time I felt Golum looked 'dodgy' was right at the start when he leans over a rock to look at them, the light just looks weird. He's the best... a bigger character than I thought.

" Raw and juicy "

Gollum is excellent, slimey pathetic little backstabber that he is.
An a stunning CGI work as well, I forgot I was looking at a computer graphic after 30 seconds, unlike George "Does my beard make it look like I have a jawline?" Lucas - who's entire Star Wars output from Phantom Menace is like watching someone else play a videogame.

And Samwise Gamgee is a small ginger bummer.

I like him because of his scitsophrenia (or however you spell it)

He's great

" Oh Mr. Frodo sir... I... I love you "

" Sam the Wise or whatever, I love you too "
