I have to agree. You always get those who prefer the lager scale of the next two ie. Helms Deep and of course the all deciding confrontation at the end, but theres just something so much more effective when the fellowship was all together.....and i think you find that in both the book and movie. Maybe its just me....
Then again prehaps it was the way fellowship was put together, there was a different editor for each of the films working with Jackson (shrug).
As for Tom Bombadil, i don't think he would have worked in the films. Comedy 'mood lightening' was achieved primarily by merry + pippen. i think Tom would have over done the effect. And besides, there would not have been time. Jackson had to pick out what bits were needed, and Tolkien only added Tom into the novel because his children (child?) wanted him to.
