The lighthouse of Mordor

[Erundil]

I'm going to sound like a yes-man, but I don't care. I think the Eye was necessary to a certain extent. As Lord of Angmar and Estel have said over and over, the Eye in FotR was well-used. Flashing across the screen, making everyone who was watching for the first time jump. <BR>Barad-dûr was good in the first movie also: partly completed, and you never actually saw the top. This is just my two cents, but I think that the top of the Dark Tower would have been put to much better use as part of Minas Morgul. In fact, with the two prongs, when I saw the TTT poster for the first time, that's what I thought it was. I really wish that PJ and Co. had used the Tower better, flashing it across the screen only occasionally and keeping it for the most part veiled in shadow.<BR>So, to sum up, the Eye of Sauron could have been much better done, and the whole spotlight thing was very, very retarded and should have been much more well-thougt-out, the mosre so because it contradicts the first two movies by adding something completely new.<BR>Actually, I just had a flash of insight or idiocy. Maybe the Dark Tower was a lighthouse for anyone who was on Lake Nurnen? <p>[ 1:32 AM January 15, 2004: Message edited by: Erundil ]
