Nah fuck this army I'm gonna go recruit some immortal ghost soldiers instead. Do whatever you want with these I'm out.
That... That right there made me hate the entire trilogy.. So we're slowly overwhelmed, we're slowly losing and being killed and the situation is so dire and... Oh there is the immortal deux ex machina guys just trampling over the enemy killing them all in a minute aaaaand we're done!
It was so anti climactic
Basically, yes.
In the books it was just that they would only answer to Isldur’s Heir. They also scared the Corsairs of Umbar away from their ships, but it was an army of Dunadain (along with a few elves, like Elrond’s sons) that actually ran them off permanently, so they could use the ships to bring some of the Gondorians in the south back north to join the main battle.
