You know when I first read the hobbit over 30 years ago my conception was that of a much more animalist being, but after reading that Gollum was at one time human and had been twisted into the beast that he is, these pictures are more along the lines with what I would have imagined.

I can also honestly say that I have never, in all the theatre sittings of the two recent Star Wars films, seen an audience react to a CG character with the same degree of emotion as they would a real actor. Not in Star Wars or Final Fantasy did I hear gasps or sighs with regards to the graphics. If ever there was a fair chance for a CG character to be put up for an Oscar for acting, this is the one.

Gollum rocked. The scene where he was talking to himself for a while was GREAT. Very hilariously done.

Entertaining, but this freaky little creature is the Jar Jar Binks of LOTR. He talks funny, has a weird voice and he's damn ugly. Don't you agree?

I also thought that Gollum was represented well by PJ and crew. How in the world did they do the wrestling with Frodo and Sam so well in the beginning!! The interaction with water was astounding as others have already noted. To me, Jar-Jar was an add-in while Gollum was a total character in their respective movies.

That was good.
But, I have seen TTT 3 times, and PM and ATOTC about 10 times each.
I really want Gollum's animation to be better, but honestly I have to say that for single characters like Gollum and Jar-Jar, ILM is slightly better.
better? everyone at the cgtalk forum was just amazed how damn amazing the animation was
ilm?

Gollum was the first time i ever let my brain trick me into thinking it was a real. a couple of times i just thought of him as a real creature because he was fluid and had a lot of emotion.
to compare him to that douche bag jar jar binks is an insult to LotR

Hahah, I could care less if the gollum was accurately portrayed in the movie as in the book. I agree with Alphazero. The damm creature is ugly, freaky and annoying.
