Actually, Gollum's character in the movies was exactly how I imagined him in the books. <P>Sure, Gollum wasn't the most moral or nice looking creature in the world but I always thought of him as a sorrowful character rather then a cruel one. <P>If you watch the part of the Extended DVD about Gollum you can see their first design of him. He was slimey, dark and looking quite capable of horrible deeds. But he was also very one dimentional. I think that the sympathetic Gollum is much more desireable. He actually goes through a journey and is almost redeemed. <P>It's all about perspective. Some people are going to think Gollum is sweet. While others will think he's twisted. It has nothing to do with the movies.
