Th one thing I have always been thankful for is the film completely removing any sign of Tom Bombadil. To this day I do not understand the inclusion or purpose of that character in the book. Removing him from the films was an excellent decision that I think made for a better film and a better story.

And I agree with much of what has been said about Boromir. I was never that sympathetic towards him from reading the books but changed that via the films.
