Real Estel, I believe they meant instead of the ending given. If so, I agree. I'd never thought of it myself (I've never though much of how I'd change the movie, just what I liked and disliked), but at this point, it sounds nice. Would've given even more closure by having Galadriel 'bookend' it, as someone else'd said.

I would not have lengthened it at all. I was one of those people getting fidgety at the end, and I loved the books. I just don't have a three and a half hour long attention span.

But, concerning the depth of relationships and characters, I believe all three movies lacked such. The hobbits didn't really mature, Eowyn was far too common, Elrond and Arwen, etc. There just wasn't time to develop everyone and everything as fully as the books did and still keep people interested.
