Gollum/Smeagol Monologue
Directed by Peter Jackson
The Lord of the Rings trilogy contains a lot of spectacular battle scenes but I think one of my favorite scenes in the trilogy is a dialogue-driven scene involving the character of Gollum/Smeagol. It is a tour-de-force in both acting and CGI effects. Few CGI characters in live-action films have required and achieved the depth and characterization that Andy Serkis and the team at WETA digital have done with the character of Gollum. The first time I saw this, I completely forgot that it was a CGI creation. Andy Serkis was buzzed as a possible Best Supporting Actor contender for this.

I'm with you so much on this man, Gollum is a seriously complex, great villain, the guy is awesome.
The Golum was the best character in that series.. Thanks for sharing.
That was an epic moment, and a good look into Smeagol/Gollum. Inside he wasn't all that bad, and it gave him a whole new level of depth.
He was awesome and so well acted/cgi'd
I won't lie, I actually hated the idea of a CGI Gollum. I remember the cartoon version of The Ring and the LoTR saga, and at the time I was a staunch hater of the Peter Jackson movies.
I still dislike his fat ass, but now it's not for this trilogy!
This scene alone, amongst others, is what brought me around - just...awesome. AWESOME. So fucking amazing, the skill and ability is undeniable!
Yes it was a great part of the film!
