Yes Dill is right. In the book in the chapter Shadows of the Past Gollum's origin is explained .This was one area I though originally Jackson had failed in as Gollum's importance in the series is great but he made up with it with the opening of ROTK which basically gives a visual display of how Gollum came to be. A much better approach than simply having Gandalf recount the tale in the first film. The opening to ROTK blew me away and is a great reason why I think Jackson perfected these films.

*takes a huge deep breath* j/k Okay, the easiest thing I can tell youto do is to read The Similarillion (sp) and The Hobbit. Those will tell all that happens before FOTR. Okay not all, but it'll get the point across. If you're too lazy to read it, then here's a basic over view. There's this really evil dude who created another evil dude who we call Sauron. Sauron lives in Middle-Earth and there he befreinds the Elves and they make the Rings of Power. Well, Sauron, being just as evil as his master and creator, creates his own ring to control all the others and have world domination. But there are men and elves who don't wan't to be under the control of some freaky evil dude so they fight him. One get lucky and "kills" Sauron but not really kills him. Sauron's life is bound to the ring and when seperated from it, he no longer exists physically. Time passes and the Ring passes from person to person until we arrive in FOTR. Well, in all this time, it is only now (or shortly before) that Sauron realizes her's not dead. So he starts looking for the Ring. Gandalf, being the ever-so-wise and perseptive person, figures out that the Ring Bilbo is keeping is in fact the One Ring. It has quite a hold on Bilbo and...well, you've seen the movie. Gandalf leaves Frodo to guard the Ring and eventually, he tells Frodo to leave for Rivendell. They do. Basically, the whole point is to destroy this all powerful ring before it is returned into the hands of evil Sauron. So these people go on a suicide mission to do so.
I'm not even sure this makes any sense, but good luck trying to understand it. My head seems t be in some other universe...so yeah. There's a simplified version.

I don't get the first movie. I'm not sure what exactly was going on, like why those group of people were traveling, and how that golem came into play... no offense meant.... but did you even watch the prologue in the start of the first one? i thought it explained pretty much everything very well. when i first watched the movies i had not read the books. so for me i though they did a very good job of explaining things

We all know that Gollum was a hobbit once, but I think there should be a movie filmed called "Discovering Middlearth". The creator of Silmarils would have a great role. There was a greater evil before Sauron and it was called Melkor. And so on... Hi dadssddssdas

Actually, if I remember right, Gollum was not a hobbit but of a race very much like the hobbits. River folk. Not that it really matters. You all did a great job of explaining the story.
