The climax was not delivered, though. I agree that the fighting was good and I enjoyed the parts with Theoden and Eowyn. I especially loved the fight with the Witch King (although I wish Merry could have had more than 4 nanoseconds to do his bit).

I do think that the emotional involvement would have been astronomical had they followed the footsteps of Eomer through from the death of Theoden to the sight of Aragorn; incorporating the sense of hopelessness that we had in the book after Theoden passed away, and the utter joy felt by those in Gondor at the return of the King.

There was not even a gap between the two central events I describe here. Aragorn arrives at the same time as Eowyn is battling Witchy! There is no chance for despair.
