Different military doctrine. If you're strength is mounted combat, protracted sieges are a waste of your strength.
This is how I king

It really isn't. It makes his influence under Grima much more explicitly magical and Saruman-induced rather than the fact that he's literally a very old man who has just received word that his son and really the only hope for his direct line has just died. Hell, even Gandalf after 'curing' him thought it was best for him to continue a similar policy as Wormtongue, to hand over the reigns of government to someone trusted (but actually trustworthy) and run along and hide in Dunharrow until the war was older.
To be fair, there was a lot of other shit, but making Theoden younger and more vital on his own isn't a small one, at least in my opinion.

Most of the changes made for much better movies, to be honest.
LotR is filled with things which wouldn't really translate well to a film.

To be sure, but I would still disagree with.

There were an awful lot of completely fucking retarded or at best meaningless changes, starting with the "elves at Helms Deep' shit. And most of the 'good' changes were for reasons of pacing, not for translating a book to a film except in the most general of senses.

Pacing is one of the bigger hurdles to translating a book to a movie. You can't act as if that's a minor thing.
Cameron Bell
The books had excellent pacing though, better than the movie.
