The action sequences are good, but they failed to capture to story itself and missed out a lot of important parts, like the scouring of the shire. Well with the Scouring of the Shire, well, the conflict was over, and it would seem way to drawn out if it still had another battle, with more issues. If people  complained that ROTK had to many endings already, think about what it would be like with the SOTS in it! Perhaps if Peter Jackson hadn't been so f*cking lazy, maybe he could have made a movie of each book of the Lord of the Rings, and made six movies instead of a measly three! but I still (sort of) enjoyed the movies. To both people I quote with this comment: There really aren't any problems here. The extended editions have most of the things you're missing, and being at almost four hours each (ROTK makes that four hour mark), any more scenes like Bombadil and the Scouring would have taken up a lot of space. I am personally glad that they didn't add it, because interesting as it is in a book, it doesn't really end a movie well. Bombadil I kind of wish they did add, but they justified their reasons enough for me to accept it.
