    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.

        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.

      A whole second sturggle after the climax if the movie is unbearable and would just make it drag on. They were right to ommit it from the movies.
