Folwren brings up another point which I had forgotten: Sam's grief. In all honesty this could have been one of the saddest scenes in cinematic history. As it turned out, it was merely ok and ridiculously short.
That's my point. In the book, Tolkien takes up several pages protraying how sad he was and how completely devistated he became when Frodo died. I mean, Sam even suggested suicide to himself and that's pretty drastic. In the movie, they don't show any of that.

I agree with Elianna...they focussed far too much on Aragorn and Helm's Deep.
