Yes, they did seem to want Gollum to appear super evil. Maybe they realized that they made him too fluffy in TTT. Everyone I knew who hadn't read the book thought Gollum was so cute and wanted to...

I agree with Yavanna228. I think that J.R.R. Tolkien's works could stand the test of time. They do contain classic elements that are present, no matter what century we are in. And yes, I like Bad...
