All good points....Frodo is presented well in the beginning in how willing he is to simply drop everything and go when called upon. That willingness to go where no one else dares shows up time and time again.

And honestly, the things that I mention don't bother me nearly as much as it must sound like on this thread, lol. The way Frodo was presented was about as near-perfect as one could imagine...it was well beyond what I even dared to hope for.

I am very much looking forward, too, to Frodo kind of taking charge in TTT now that he and Sam will be on their own. I can't wait to see the conversation where Frodo insists that they show Gollum mercy.

I know! :)

And I can't wait to see Gollum's reaction when they put the elf rope around his ankle... Or any scene where there's Gollum...

I was even sad when Gollum was being shown tortured. Don't be doing that to my poor Smeagol!

Really, I am probably too much of a Gollum fan, but I can't help it. He absolutely was won me over.

I'm actually pretty nervous about all the screen time Gollum's going to have in TTT. We never really saw evidence in FOTR that Jackson can pull off live actor/computer-generated actor interaction well. I hope he does, but I'm nervous. Its the one major role where you can't depend on an actor being lifted to great heights by the quality of the whole production. We shall see!
