I too thought that the representation of Sauron was the worst part of the film.<P>It is quite interesting to see that quote from Jackson, <B>Angmar.</B> Apparently he really does not know that Sauron had physical form. Now I'm not going to be too critical of Jackson here. After all, I only found out that Sauron had physical form a short while ago, and there are other things in the story which I just do not know much about.<P>However, it strikes me as strange that no-one who worked on 'The Lord of the Rings' movies seemed to know that Sauron had physical form (which is suggested by Jackson's quote).<P>Other than being disloyal to the books, I feel that the <B>EYE</B> of Sauron failed in its task in the movie. It was supposed to easily show to the non-book audience an idea of Sauron as a threat. What actually happened, was that this vague representation not only baffled film-goers with regards to what Sauron was, but also gave one of the best and biggest films of all time a 'cartoon' bad guy.
