I thought it was immense in the first film but I don't know why Peter Jackson had to change the eye...

Perhaps the tower could have looked broader, instead of being so narrow. I liked the illustration in the hardback copy of LOTR best.

Broader? I hate the square/rectangle styled 'mansions' of evil charachters. That's very stereotypical, a tower is better.

Just think of all those flights of stairs Sauron's minions would have had to have walked to reach the top! The headquarters of the Dark Tower are definately best served as being broad upto about halfway. It doesn't matter for Sauron though, as he could perhaps fly up & down?

Sauron should be thought of as very terrible. The form that he took was that of a man of more than human stature, but not gigantic.

And, IIRC, Gollum talks about him having only nine fingers.
