If you wanted AI to have ended any earlier than it did, then you did not understand the point of the ending, and you did not understand AI.
That said, I think the way the ending was handled was a little too Spielberg-esque for me.

You can blather on about "resolved narratives" all you want, but there are times when a film does not need to move in expected directions or dish out so-called traditional conflict resolution.
I don't consider the ending I mentioned a "twist" either. For me, it would have been bittersweet and may have had more emotional impact that some cheesey aliens and mommy-love drivel.

They were robots, not aliens.

What a brilliant and true quote."Aren't those the movies about gay cowboys eating pudding?" - Cartman
There was a thread from a few months ago I started about AI, some good discussion therein. I for one thought the ending was fitting for the movie. If you can see beyond the surface, and whatever you read on the internet, it's a pretty dreary ending.
