the 'messanger' that was the mouth of Sauron was not there to Parley as he did in the books.
Therefore he was not under any protection via the 'rules of war'
The MoS was goading and and putting doubt into the Forces of the West's hearts. He was not offering any terms of surrender to the troops.
Therefore aragorn did the quick thing (and yes not very moral but it was war) and stopped the MoS in his tracks by killing him. Henry Vth supposedly did pretty much the same thing when he got his troops to kill his prisoners as he could not afford to keep them imprisoned and fight the battle of Agincourt at the same time. Not nice, but then, hey, it's War. nasty things happen unfortunately. People die.....
PS It is Bashing. Just look at the title of this thread 'What are your most hated parts about the LOTR movies?' And that's what I've done above in my first post above. I bashed the one part of the movies I thought was really dire.
