User blog comment:LotrNERD/If you were Peter Jackson or J.R.R Tolkien?/@comment-4501794-20120306181627

If I were Peter Jackson I would have had the barrow wights in the movie, that would've been very cool. I would have also done the "slime balrog" scene. I think JR.R. Tolkien did it perfect, the only thing I would do if I were him would be adding more detail to the description of the balrog, because when I first read the book I thought it was a giant guy with a huge flaming whip *facepalm*. But no, really, there was little to no description of the balrog.
