Well, it's not hard to guess whether I liked it or not (I didn't like it, in case you couldn't tell). I really think that they could have been so much better if they followed the book's way. It was too far from the book. Gollum's struggle was missing a climax (The Stairs of Cirith Ungol). I was very dissapointed that the scene was not there. It didn't truly show Gollum's character. It seemed that the whole Gollum/Smeagol thing was a bit overdone. It made it like they were two completely separate characters in one body rather than what I saw it through the books as one character with two different aspects. For me, Gollum's presentation was very disappointing.
