Yeah, this is one instance where sticking too closely to the book was, perhaps, Not A Good Thing. Because the book does end in pretty much the same inconclusive way. (Of course, one could say the same about Fellowship of the Ring, but in both the movie and the book there was more buildup that interested us in the characters, by then.)
