Should Tom Bombadil have been in the movies? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Tom Bombadil is definitely my favorite character of all time, no question (followed then by Bilbo Baggins). My opinion stands thus:<P>-If adding him to the movie caused him to seem like a dandy or "jar-jar" character then I would not want to see him in the movie. Also, by not putting him in the movie it sort of gives original LOTR fans a character to hold on to as their 'own'.<P>-If adding him to the movie was possible, and they gave him enough time by taking out some other parts, then I would have loved to see him in the movie. Also, I think it would have been neat to see him in the extended version. I'd like to see who they would have portrayed as Old Tom.<P>Love,<BR>Faybevin, daughter of Bombadil
