The End of Sauron - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Welcome to the Downs, <B>SuperMaiario</B>! And great name!<P>I prefer the book picture to the movie picture. And when you say, "him popping", do you mean that eye on top of Barad-dur? I think that in the movie, Sauron was reduced to--or entirely represented by--that eye. It was ambiguous at best, and seemed weird to me. <P>Anyway, if the eye was going to pop, I would have preferred to see that corny, 1950's sci-fi movie "eye-beam" (you know, the one that was hopping about looking for Frodo and Sam!) to turn to smoke or fog, then dissipate in the wind!
