Is it just me

Didn't anyone else notice one major diversion from the book?! Why did the Army of the dead have to enter Minas Tirith. This goes against the grain of the book and detracts from the importance of such characters as Eomer and the men of Gondor. These latter are shown as wimps (especially with the total exclusion of Imrahir), and solely dependant on an army of dead guys. These were just meant to illustrate the irony where forces of evil are often defeated by forces they may deem to be allied by their very nature. In the movie, we have the battle going in full swing. Within a minute, in swoop the ghosts and out go the orcs!! Whooshhh.... so flat.
Sorry Pete, but I had to bring this up! This was the only real flaw in the whole trilogy; all the other 'glitches' are just that. If only you had given us Tolkien's rendition here.
