Nice Review. But, I would have been terribly disappointed if the last spoken words, "Well, I'm back." had not been included. The ending at the Shire with Sam and Rosie was a must for me, as was the the farewell at The Grey Havens.

I think that they did a FANTASTIC job of melding the novels with the things necessary to bring it to the screen. I'm a huge fan of the novels and they did just enough to delight me without offending me. Could have been better, but was undeniably great nontheless!
