I think the removal of the Rangers poses another question... how are they going win the field of Pelennor?<P>In the books each of the Rangers captained a ship of Umbar filled with former prisoners and soldiers from Lebennin (I think) to the aid of Minas Tirith. I mean, even if 'The Three Hunters' cross the Path of the Dead alone, so what? Where are they gonna to muster a army to which to save Minas Tirith... don't tell me Gimli is goind to help lead an army . However like someone suggested they might use the dead. But that would change the plot considerably, and I don't want to imagine an army of the dead marching with all the hosts of Gondor and Rohan to the Black Gate.. it would just be wrong.<P>Hmmm maybe this should have gone to another thread, but I'm just making the point that removing the Rangers would drift away from the book alot.
