Loved the movie. The battle scenes were amazing.... I think they were head and shoulders above what we saw in TTT (which kicked ass on its own).And the scene with Pippin singing was definately a high point.
I had disliked the ending a bit also. I haven't read the books either, so sue me, but...
I don't think the problem with the ending was that it was too long. I think the problem was how the scenes were (inadquately) transistioned between. So... it wasn't the fact that the ending was long, merely the fact that it felt long, if that makes any sense. Going between the different scenes at the end was jarring, often having the screen go black, leaving you wondering if the movie's over, only to have the screen come back alive a second later. I don't have an exact idea of how it could have been done better, but something that would superficially link the scenes together would have helped a bit, I thought.
