[Thinlómien]

Now I can't see the movie Gollum as anything else, but I used to see a big problem with how he was made and now that I think of it, I can still agree with what I first thought when I saw the movie Gollum: he's too cute.

I mean, he is more like a wronged awwwy little creature than a many-layered dangerous ex-hobbit. With those huge blue eyes and cheerful voice, he seems like something cute and little, not treacherous, murderous and cunning. I don't mean that there's nothing good in Gollum, just that he really shouldn't be, of all things, cute. Just consider his age, for example.
