Lord of Angmar has just left Hobbiton.
I found Sauron's ending in the movie to be unfortunate at best and ridiculous at worst. Not only did the shifty imploding eye look strange and almost laughable, but it was also deceptive to moviegoers not familiar with Tolkien's works. Why couldn't PJ just have had Sauron in physical form for his demise, or at least stick with the text in "Mount Doom" by having the ghastly shadow of Sauron rise up and be swept away by the wind?
