In my view, Shelob not being in the movie was perfectly fitting. Aragorn off a cliff, Arwen with the power to impart the life saving grace of the Valar, Elves at Helm's Deep, Arwen off to see Cirdan, Treebeard giving an angry yell and every Ent from here to the other end of Fangorn immediately showing up (as if they were all 20 feet away), Gimli again reduced to a punch line sidekick, no Hurons, the desecration of Faramir's character, no reckoning with Saruman, Gollum getting laughs.<P>Yeah, no Shelob fit right in to the movie.
