I think people are forgetting that this movie wasn't written for only Tolkien fans. I think people need to realize that it wasn't Peter Jackson's job to have an in-depth movie that told everything about the story of the Lord of the Rings. His job was to make LOTR available to the masses, who are not as into Tolkien as we are. My personal opinion is that if Peter Jackson were to make LOTR into what everyone here seems to expect, a lot of the time it would be a very boring movie.<P>Now bringing this together together with the topic, I think it was added for suspense and to show that Sauron could really see what was going on in his lands. (Frodo and Sam hiding from it behind a rock, a little corny yes)But i thought it was very cool when the black gate opened and Saurons army emerged surrounded in the light of Sauron's eye.<p>[ 9:50 PM January 03, 2004: Message edited by: TheSquireof Aragorn ]
