I always thought that the giant hole swallowing all the bad guys and none of the good guys was a bit convenient. They lost their leader and power source/structure, but why does that create a precisely targeted orc-seeking seismic event?

That was an unnecessary flourish the movies added that was not included in the books. In the books, the Army of Sauron loses its will to fight and flees when the Ring is destroyed. The Army of the Free Peoples was then able to pursue and decimate them. I guess Jackson must have thought that that didn't have enough visual impact for the big screen, so he added in the "ground opens and swallows them whole" thing.
