Personally, my creature vote goes to the Cave Troll. They did a really good job animating him, dubbing in the walrus noises for his emotions and making him seem more than a mindlessly rampaging barbaric... thing. Yeah. For TTT at least.<P>And I don't know about you guys, but I distinctly remember "the creature Gollum" from the books and the movies. So hands down, Gollum is my absolute fave. HE ROCKED! <BR>Here are my standings:<BR>1) Gollum 2) Cave Troll 3) Balrog 4) Watcher 5) Ents<P>Why are Ents so far down on the list? They lacked the eyes I desperatly wanted to see rendered on the screen, so full of knowledge, history, wisdom, and the long passage of time. Ok that's being really picky and they did do a great job with Treebeard. But the rest of the Ents and their role in TTT just did not happen for me.
