now, before anybody suggests this should be in the movie forum

IT SHOULD NOT

the movie balrog is (as you mightve noticed) very big and scary looking. but tolkien never described his balrog other than saying they were once maia and wreathed in flame. since the maia resembled men, wouldnt the balrogs just be like men made of shadow and fire? what did you think when you were reading it? did the moviemakers get it right?
