I am slightly puzzled by mormegil's thoughts: that people might not like the 'Frodo-captured' ending for being too dramatic and intense. Well, was the boring 'Gollum-mutters' ending preferable? It was certainly an intensity-killer. I don't think it satisfied.

Cinematically, it may be too much for an audience to handle. I mean to have another emotionally climax at the end of a movie would leave the audience confused. The movie needed to have a climax and then a bit of a winding down period. It just upsets the emotional balance of a movie to have that big an event at the end.
I am not saying that I agree entirely with everything in the movie but I don't see this as a major sticky point. I've never liked the Faramir in the movies but that's another thread I'm sure.
