I was disapointed by nearly all of the War of the Ring sequences from RotK. On the one hand, I think that Frodo's half of the story was carried off near-perfectly, but virtually everything I wanted to see in RotK was either cut or changed beyond recognition or coherence. Imrahil, the Knights of Dol Amroth, Denethor (the real one), Beregond and Bergil, Ioreth, Elfhelm, Gondorians who actually act like real Gondorians, and of course Eomer's madness on finding Eowyn and subsequent battle-rage, none of these are on-screen.

What I'm almost beginning to think is that, with the exception of Frodo's Quest, Jackson just about converted RotK into a monster movie, and thus the over-emphasis on the Army of the Dead, Fell Beasts etc.
