RotK expectations - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Taken from an interview between Mr Beaks (?) from the aintitcool website talking with Phillipa Boyens and Fran Walsh about Return of the King. Note the bold text

Mr B:On the other side, there’s the much longer ending.
PB: Oh, are you kidding? We could’ve gone on for a half-hour if you wanted to play out the whole ending.
Mr B:Was there some discussion at any point of, at least, a credit call or a narration of what happened to everybody? It seems like, in the book, a lot of the characters wind up going into the west.
PB: That will probably appear in the DVD.

This gives us something to whet our appetite, does it not?

Personally, the movie reached my highest expectations...well except maybe the sauron search light, but thats another thread. Anyways, I thought it was amazing, and I loved every second of it, but my sister had expected it to be horribly sad and tragic, so she was a little dissapointed.

Since it had already been announced that the scouring of the shire was going to be excluded from the movie, it did not bother me much when I saw the last film. If I had not heard that earlier though, I would have been quite upset.
