On the topic of cutting the book short, that may not be such a terrible thing, because don;t forget that Return of the king is probably the shortest of the books having that thimping great set of appendices in it.
360 pages compared to TTT 440 - evening them up at 400 pages a piece leaves Frodo having not long left Faramir, and in the process of witnessing the horde setting forth from the gates of Minas Morgul (ie before the ascent of the stair at Cirith Ungol).
Damn - another whole week ........ tick, tock, tick, tock.......

SPOILERS
I don't think they filmed the Scouring of the Shire, so that removes another chunk of the 3rd book, which explains why they ended this film where they did.
I thought it was great, better flow and character development than the first film.
To the first poster, I doubt very much that Arwen went to the West, they just showed her leaving Rivendell.
Gollum stole the show.
I don't know why they had Faramir take Frodo and gang to Osgiliath, but I expect it to be explained in the 3rd film.
