PS re the eye / spirit / bodily form of Sauron. If we DID see Sauron in a 'bodily' form during ROTK, then we would have no doubt seen the Aragorn / sauron fight. There would have been no way (to the non readers of the book) that he wouldn't have come out for a fight with Aragorn if he had a body. Perhaps there were scenes filmed of Sauron in his physhical form during rotk, but were edited out.

If they just didn't show Sauron at all, we wouldn't have that problem.

Even if they did show Sauron with a body, I think the non-book-readers would realise that Dark Lords are lords, not knights. And that he'd have learned his lesson from the Second Age.
