Chris Lee is, without a doubt, perfect for the role of Saruman. His appearance, his voice, his commanding demeanor, totally awesome. One of the best-casted parts in a movie that had many great ones.
I too would have liked to have seen Saruman's independence from Sauron. I don't think this would have been too difficult to accomplish, and kudos to Boromir for several great points about that.
I liked the fight scene and loved the accompanying score, which, as critics have negatively pointed out, is reminiscent of John Williams' Duel of the Fates in SWI:PM. All in all, while I would have liked to see some more complexity in Saruman's character, I thought he was done excellently and was very impressed in my first look at him in the movie. Plus, Isengard and Orthanc absolutely rock!
