I suppose it's understandable given the time constraints. I too was disappointed in the absence of Saruman and the conflict in the Shire. I also was not happy that the King of the Dead wound up at Minas Tirith when his obligation was "discharged" at Pelargir (sp?) in the book. Also, I'm not sure Aragorn's "power" was given enough "air play". His strife with Sauron through the sphere could have been useful as well as his control over the "Dead" and even his own companions in the march to the Sea.The Siege of Gondor/Battle of Pellenor (sp?) alone could have taken an entire film.
