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.

I'll wholly agree w/ the cutting of Saruman and the "scouring of the Shire" as very dissapointing. OTOH, what Jackson did get into the movie (on the whole) was well done if somewhat brief. Jackson's getting the same complaint that Tolkien himself suffered once the trilogy was released..."it's too short, give us more!"PeterS
