I kind of like Smeagol/Gollum. Especially when he’s talking to himself.

Even before the movies the final lines from Gollum in The Hobbit were so full of character :

“Thief, thief, thief! Baggins! We hates it, we hates it, we hates it forever!”

Such a shame they added so much unneeded crap to that book in order to expand it into a trilogy.
It should have been a tv-series instead of a trilogy of movies, because so much stuff is happening that adds to the story. It’s the kind of stuff that’s not good in a movie as it needs time to work.

LotR worked as a trilogy, because it had 3 separate arcs within the story as it was written.
The big battle in the Hobbit is barely a few sentences long as it was irrelevant to the story. Turning that into a movie just to pad out the ending of the trilogy was the worst decision ever.
