I thought that it was okay, but it is definitely not one of my favorite parts of the film. The first time I saw it, I thought that it went really slow and I just kind of sat there waiting for it to end. And the whole transformation I found to be kind of freaky. But it is good that they showed Gollum's background, and showed that he was originally a normal being. It also gave much depth to his character, and showed that he had not always been a slimy little creature whose only task in life was to chase after, and covet the ring.<P>Oh, and did anyone else think that when Gollum was in the mid part of the transformation, that he looked kind of like Mike Myers in the Cat in the Hat?
