Peter Jackson's thing was taking metaphors from the books and using them literally, such as when he gave the Balrog wings. The one is making Sauron a giant eye.

Maybe not quite what Tolkien intended (although who can say?), but isn't the visual at least unique, memorable and utterly iconic (in the not-overused sense of the word)?
