I disagree. If not for Eomer, who would have made the last stand on the Pelennor in such a way as he did? Eomer's character was vital to that amazing part in the books. Eomer also let the Three Hunters go freely in his land- if not for the disposition of Eomer, the Three might not have been to pass. Also, his friendship with Aragorn is a nice touch. I don't know about you, but I would surely miss him if he wasn't a part of the story.

I think that, as many have said, it's hard to give a character the time he or she deserves on film as they are given in the books. Many, if not all, of the characters had some sort of push back. It's just impossible to give each character the time they properly deserve on the big screen...
