Tom bombadil and the scouring of the shire were just, logical omissions.
What they did to my boy Gimli though.. :'(
I disagree, I think the scouring of the shire is important and adheres to the themes established like home being worth fighting for even if you're small and weak.
I just really like Bombadil, so I accept that I'm biased.
Gimli definitely got shafted.
Boromir... I have never seen such a crime committed against a character before.
I like bombadil too! I just have hard time imagining the scene working in the film.
And honestly I think that's ok, and an acceptable reason to leave him out. Tom really would be difficult to do justice on the big screen, and might confuse the majority of people that didn't read the books first.
Oh it would absolutely be confusing, and I readily accept that I'm biased.
