Tom Bombadil was my favourite part of the book, and I was so disappointed when I realised that that part had been taken out of the film.
Was there a point to Tom Bombadil? All I really remember was that he helped the hobbits escape the. And I'm not even 100% sure about that. Also that Gandolf said he might go visit him at the end of the book. Was there some important part about it I missed?
It was just a relaxing, peaceful section of the narrative, which the film could have done with more of.
