The effect of the Ring - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Just watching FotR today, and my sister pointed something out. How come the Ring didn't have the same effect on Bilbo as it did with Frodo? Frodo saw everything blurry and how the wraiths saw it, but that's not how it was with Bilbo. I told her that maybe it was because Sauron wasn't as strong as he was in the time when Bilbo used it, and that's why he didn't get that same effect that Frodo got. Most likely I am wrong, but I just was wondering what everyone else thinks.
