Was at the theater for ROTK. As the film ground more and more slowly to its conclusion, a young man in the audience shouted
"End already!"I couldn't have agreed more.

Yes, there was a consensus of “too many endings” for that film. That was made mention of even in the audio commentaries on the extended-edition DVDs. It still cut down the number of endings of the book, which meant it must have been really difficult to pare down. Tolkien himself didn’t believe it was possible to translate the book to film in any wise.
