The eye didn't work for me. Putting aside that fact that its existence in the mvoie cannot be support with concrete evidence that it existed in the book, I just plain did not like it. It looked ridiculous, for starters, and for seconds it left audiences not familiar with Tolkien wondering why the Dark Lord, who supposedly could not take physical form, had in fact taken physical form - as a giant, red, electrically charged Eye, no less, perched at the top of a tall tower. It is implausible, confusing and outright silly.<P>But that's just me and my two cents.<P>~Sparrow
