I'm glad they didn't have Bombadil in the film. I found him pretty annoying in the book, because he never stops singing! If I was Frodo I'd just be yelling at him to shut up half the time… I mean, if he'd been in the film he would have turned into a musical! And Goldberry's a bit characterless. The Old Forest's really cool though. It's a shame that was missed out, and the Barrow Wight afterwards. (Actually a Lord of the Rings musical isn't such a bad idea… Lets take it to Broadway! Yeah! Or The Hobbit! Hi ho, hi ho. It could be a musical spectacular!) <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by Rinberethial Bloom: I read somewhere Peter Jackson Talking about the cutting of Tom Bombadil and he said that this particular part of the book had no real impact on the rest of the story and deviated too much from the ring. Would it really have been worth it to sit another hour or so for something that had no relevance to the main story?Although in the book it was really good, but would you have rathered he sacrifice something else?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
