Im not sure there is much to explain. The books have way more detail, insight, and therefore things to reflect on. Subtle things that make huge philosophical differences and change how you view it all.
Take for example Gandalf, there are a lot of details not in the movie that are huge.
1) He was a Maiar, the same order of being as Saruon. Basically an immortal angel-like creature
2) He was the bearer, and wearer, of one of the three elvish rings of power, his ring how the power to inspire others and fight tryanny
3) Originally many ages early on the wizards were first sent to defat Sauron and Morgoth (his leader) by whatever means they could, using power and their magic to overthrow him. They failed, especially because Sauron had the ring of power, so being power with power would never work. LAter when the wizards were sent back they were ordered not to use power to fight sauron, so they were sent back in weak, frail, old bodies and rarely used their magick if at all. To subvert sauron through subtle encouragment and faith in others whoa re "weak" by comparison (Though strong in their own way) and thus defeated sauron in the end.
Stuff like that.

Oh and side note, Sauroman was just a wizard who wanted to do good but thought intentionally not using his power to try to win the war was dumb. So he refused the orders from the gods and used power anyway.
As we see this resulted in his faul and ultimate corruption.
It is a common theme in magic based fiction, that true magickal power comes for subtlety.
