I am still a little up in the air about Tom Bombadil, what his purpose is as a whole, who he is, what he is..... I really need to re-read.
As for him being cut from the movie... I don't think they needed him there because they cut out everything that he was needed for (not that that is a good thing). I would've loved to see The Old Forest and The Barrow Downs in the movie (creepy!).
