A HUGE problem with Bombadil's removal.

<BR><br><br> I've gotta stop stirring up this hornet's nest. <br> <br> Insinuating Jackson wanted to improve on the books was not my intention. I should have said &quot;The books cannot be done justice in a movie forum.&quot; I just don't see how it's possible to condense each book into a format so limited by time constraints,and succeed in capturing the magic of it all. <br> But if more people are introduced to Tolkien and his works,and moved to read and enjoy them,none will be more pleased than I. I just don't want people to miss the point,to see this as just another movie with a lot of hype and toys the kids clamor for. <i> Star Wars</i> was able to capture both a hugely successful toy market,and a devoted fan base,but it is certainly in the minority. I don't want LoTR trivialised by any of this,that's all. I guess a wait-and-see additude is the only way to go. <p>Those who will defend authority against rebellion must not themselves rebel. </p>
