Imrahil is a clear mistake to eliminate it Jackson is trying to be close to the books (which we know he isn't, stupid Lorien elves at Helms Deep). The War of the Ring is the fading of the elder peoples, dwarves and elves and the beginning of the rule of men. In FotR and TTT Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas are the three main fighters. But read carefully and you'll notice that Gimli and Legolas mean almost nothing in RotK. They are instead replaced with Eomer of Rohan (who also got the shaft) and, ta da, Prince Imrahil in the abscence of a wounded Faramir. After I saw Haldir at Helms Deep I knew there was no hope for one of my favorite characters but it's still sad to see no Imrahil, or Forlong the Fat for that matter . But if I might add something that has not yet been discussed on this thread anyway, Ghan-buri-ghan was credited on Imdb and I demand to see what this guy looked like. Come on he's a classic literary character, well maybe not but I still missed it. Also the Mouth of Sauron was a huge blow to my heart but I'm holding my breath for an EE scene. Notice Pippin rode up to the gate with Aragorn and company after calling out Sauron. I'm giddy with anticipation and all I have to do is wait another ten months
