I felt the same way about the end of the movie. Not exactly disapointed, after 3 1/2 hours my bottom was getting sore, but I would have liked to see the Battle of the Shire. I'm wondering if that's being saved for the extend DVD version that will presumable come out in about a year?
It's the only major omision that I feel they could work back into the film. The lack of the hills people leading the army of the Rohan through the hills to bypass the outlining forces besiging the White City is probably a minor point.
The other omission I noticed is the forces from Gondor's allies/fiefs to the south. But they completly reworked that section, substituting the ghost horde for them instead.

Ok,
Anybody else think the film failed at the end (from a perspective of the
final chapter in the book). The return to the shire was very poorly
executed.
The place was supposed to have been wrecked and under an oppressive rule.
The 4 hobbits should have come in and kicked butt, where as before they
would have been oppressed and accepted it, thus demonstrating the huge
changes in their characters wrought by this epic journey.
Also the only reason Frodo was leaving the shire was because the blade shard
stuck in his chest was slowly moving towards his heart. The elves could
prevent this so he had to go with them.
Loved the bowing of everybody to the 4 hobbits. All very impressive up to
then although the Oliphant/elf surfing scene was a tad OTT.
