Do you think this whole scene in the book would have been a good addition to ROTK?
Jason, don't read any farther unless you've finished Return of the King!
I liked this scene in the book. I like them fighting to take back the Shire, and Saruman's Departure.

It worked good enough in the book, but if it had been in the movie, I think it would have ruined the picture.
The point of the entire series is to get the Ring to Mount Doom, destroy it.
Mount Doom was the climax, the end of all things. If Frodo had returned to the Shire, and fought yet another big dramatic battle the audience... wouldn't taken. It's best left in the book, IMO.
However, I probably wouldn't mind it if it was a much downsized version, perhaps with Frodo and co. arriving, seeing it in ruins, meet Saruman, Wormtongue stabs, it's over.
But no big battle. Just eh..

That and the fact that Saruman is stabbed by Wormtongue on top of the tower in the movies.
