Elbereth takes little or no part in the events of the movie, so no surprise there.

Well, it's PJ's fault that Shelob was moved to the RotK, so no problem there.

Required, as Shelob's Lair is completely different to the tone of Helm's Deep, and takes place during the siege of Minas Tirith.

What rift? In the book? It must have been a long time since I read them....

Added in the movie.

um... and the Watcher of the Water, the Wargs attacking Theoden, Aragorn falling of the cliff, etc.?
|
The Watcher in the Water is required to trap the Fellowship in Moria. The Fellowship being trapped in Moria is required for the confrontation with the Balrog. The Wargs attacking Theoden are required for Aragorn falling off the cliff. Aragorn falling off the cliff is required for Theoden to learn the size of Saruman' army. And so on. But not Bombadil. The only thing he's for is the Blades of Westernesse, and those are filled in for in the FoTR EE by Galadriel giving the Noldorin Dagger to Merry.

Of course you can't do the characters thoughts in a movie, but really, Meriadoc didn't say word for word.

No idea how to answer this.

Do you think that the wider audience would have disliked Imrahil or Bombadil? Maybe Bombadil, he seems to be disliked by alot of people, but Imrahil? He saves Faramir, and takes a big part in the restoration of Minith Tirith.

Imrahil is not needed, like the Grey Company. He is just too much detail, because PJ did not have enough time to introduce every single character from the books.
