One Case Where The Movie Was Better Than The Book

Hated the Golum thread in the book which meant I skipped half the story until the end then read back through it for completeness sake. Found the Sam/Frodo/Golum/Smeagol conflicts interesting in the book not to mention that Sam's barefoot battle with Sheelob was one of the best.
