Well... in a film you've got to show something. In the book, you never get a clear look at the creature... you only see shadow and flame.

If your forum was anything like mine, Attalus, the topic of Balrog Wings was banned because of the vicious and drawn-out flame wars it always causes. The War of the Wing is still remembered 3 years hence at alt.fan.tolkien.
