If you are counting Gollum as a creature, then Gollum wins hands down. Without a doubt the most realistic CG creation every. Just watch the texturing around the mouth. There's even a bit of moisture on the lips and they stick together a bit when he speaks slowly like real lips. This is especially noticable when Frodo calls him Smeagol early in the film and he repeats the name slowly to himself in close up.<P>If Gollum isn't a creature, then my vote would like be for the Balrog, especially the scene where Gandalf falls with him. That was brilliant.<P>H.C.
