I agree with the Bombadil cutting, even though I loved his character. Too confusing for those new to Tolkien.<P>I have to say all of Jackson's TTT irked me. Maybe not a God complex, but very irreverent. Sorry, but I never really had a problem with Tolkien's writings. Well, when I read LotR for the first time (many,many years ago) I did get Sauron and Saruman confused. <P> I might have misunderstood you, it was an unabridged reading of the books, not a performance.
