Hold the phone a minute. Have you seen how Lucas's remake of the Jabba scene in A New Hope showed how hokey the original remastering in 1997 was? I see Gollum as the same way lots of times. He has an unreal cartooney quality about him -- and it derives mostly from his face. Most of the things in LoTR looked fantastical, but real -- as if you could touch them. Minas Tirith, the Ringwraiths, even the Balrog. But, Gollum was definately the most obvious unreal thing in the film.
