The long and the short of it: a Balrog and a Wizard

This is a Balrog. Shadow and Flame: this is one of my coolest pictures so far. The Balrog is just perfect. And, you know, I hadn’t seen the movie yet. I wasn’t planning to. I was planning not to. Ever. So, what do you think? Is this just like the movie, or what?

I guess movie makers can sometimes get things right. ^_^7
