Predictable Ending

Rating: 8/10 (10 January 2007)

Now I didn't believe this ending to be predictable. I thought she could have very well died and the story could turn to him being vengeful. But I've seen a lot of people saying they could predict the ending or maybe they just assumed they could. It is hard for me to see them making the movie any more convincing of the fact she really could have died.
But for those people who thought they could easily predict the ending, would it have been a better movie if she actually died? and they proved the king guilty?
