That is very true gorthaur. Peter Jackson's now-famous 'Darth Vader' analogy never made any sense to me. He claimed that we needed to see Sauron in the films. However, I always found Sauron to be particularly effective in the book because we never met him first-hand. There was terror enough in our own imagination.

Precisely. What you
don't see can easily be equally effective as what you
do see. Besides, now that PJ has gone out on a limb & claimed that we 'needed to see the bad guy' (Sauron of course), where is the bad guy that we needed to see so badly? Obviously he didn't mean more shots of the eye atop Barad-dur
. I haven't heard any explanations or reasonings for his sudden change in philosophy (though I'm sure certainly grateful for it!).
The limb is cracking...
