I think that aspect of the film was totaly clear to the viewer....
Sauron orderd Saruman to raise an army for him.....
Then Saruman creates that army and asks them who their master is and the
orcs say Saruman and not Sauron.....
So he double crosses Sauron and send these troops to capture the ring
for himself not to give it Sauron...
I didn't get it like that when I was watching it, but it seems you are
right there Stefan. Goes to show, you can't judge a film by one showing
But if this was true to the book, many other parts of the script were not
(Arwen, the whole ending etc)

Yes
This was a pain in the ass for me too, but I can understand that the director
of a film wants to have a female maincharakter....
Some thing that missed like Tom Bombadil for example would have been very hard
to introduce to people who have not read the book....
In my opinion the Lorien part was to short I missed the gifts given to the
fellowship and the Boromir - Galadriel relationschip...
Nevertheless I enjoyed the movie alot and think that is was one of the best
movie expierinces I had in my whole life..... and will have again and again

RD: Arwen took on not only her role, but that of Glorfindel's brief but
important appearance. Possible reasons:
1) They couldn't afford another actor to play Glorfindel for such a brief
role
2) No decent actor would play Glorfindel for such a brief role
3) The actress playing Arwen said, "If you think I'm gonna play a bimbo to
Aragorn, you can think again. Gimme an action part or I quit."

And set up the Arwen-Aragorn relationship in more detail so their marriage
in _Return of the King_ isn't something totally out of left field.
Overall, not badly done.

to introduce to people who have not read the book....
Basically, every adaptation I've seen leaves Bombadil out. I think this
may mean something.

Definitely!
