Ideally, each sequence should have helped build the tension of the other; to me, the "comic relief" really didn't work.

Maybe it was because the Riddles in the Dark scene
was not actually....
shown in the
dark.
That was my major gripe about the scene. That scene had waaaaay too much ambient light in it. With lighted passages every which way. You could read a book in that cave without torchlight. I can't remember how that scene was edited, however if the Gob King was cut into it, then you have a point there.
Also one other minor problem that I had with that scene was that Gollum was hard to understand sometimes-
"Eeeeeeegs."
