How do *you* want it to end? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I for one am not sure whether I want it to end with the 'well, I'm back' scene like the book ends or with the fates of the other characters (Gimli, legolas sailing west, Aragorn, Merry, Pippin dying and being buried next to each other, Arwen on Cerin Amroth, like the appendix tells us). They would both work out fine provided they're done well. What matters to me is that they all go in - no one is left out, so that those who didn't read the book won't wonder: 'Oh, but what happened to X?'<BR>A voiceover by Galadriel would be nice and provide a symmetric end - seeing as the movie began with a voiceover by her.
