To be fair, the eye looks cool and gives the BBEG some much needed character, instead of being the nebulous master of evil he is.

I don't think the eye is bad but I prefer how it is in the books, the mystery makes him more intimidating to me

My head canon was always that the eye was just a spell or a possession ability he had while he was working to come back (which required the ring).

A half ethereal necromancer with boundless sight who can possess an entire tower wasn't intimidating enough for you?

The Eye of Sauron is a very heavy motif used throughout the book, Jackson taking such an impactful literary device and turning it into the iconic cinematic visual it is today was very well done.

I can't remember how it was in the books

Frodo sees an eye, that looks out through a window in a room at the top of the tower. Some speculate, that it's the Palantir in Barad Dur.

Damn, being spied on by an evil overlord via palantir. Such fantasy. Such whimsy.
