I've had this really frightenning idea of what Souron's eye might have looked like since I first read the books. I will not attempt to describe it, but will only say: Souron is not, never was, and never will be a lighthouse!<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> I think people are forgetting that this movie wasn't written for only Tolkien fans. I think people need to realize that it wasn't Peter Jackson's job to have an in-depth movie that told everything about the story of the Lord of the Rings. His job was to make LOTR available to the masses, who are not as into Tolkien as we are. My personal opinion is that if Peter Jackson were to make LOTR into what everyone here seems to expect, a lot of the time it would be a very boring movie. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>Of course it had to be "for the masses" (though that phrase is beginning to sicken me when I hear it), but that doesn't mean that Tolkien fans should not also be satisfied. In my opinion, PJ did an excelent job in most areas, and when I think of the other attempts at adapting Lord of the Rings to film, I am greatful that his version was not an utter falure. <BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> But i thought it was very cool when the black gate opened and Saurons army emerged surrounded in the light of Sauron's eye. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>That was good, visually. Very cool. Not quite what I had pictured, but then, why on earth should it be?
