Tom Bombadill - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

you either love or hate the queer dressing guy, personally i hate him and was so glad that they left him out of the film.
I think it was probably his rhyme that is most annoying so give your views here on "merry old tom bombadillo" :lifeup:

i have to say, he's not the best character in the book, but he's not that bad

pkgrl · 25th May 2003, 08:20 PM

I waded through his poems, but I thought he was a very interesting character. I didn't miss him in the film, even AFTER I read the book

, but I still read that part of the book when I do re-read it. I like interesting people.

twas a good decision not to put him in the film, don't think it would have fitted in

neodeath · 25th May 2003, 08:35 PM

ya know... of course he wouldnt have fit in, he wears yellow and blue and has sillier poems than any other character :lifeup:

Jessa · 25th May 2003, 08:39 PM

i think they cast him, then decided not to go ahead with filming

neodeath · 25th May 2003, 08:43 PM

maybe they realised that he would probably add another 3 hours onto fotr

Jessa · 25th May 2003, 08:51 PM

or maybe they just thought it was stupid, pathetic, annoying, boring......etc

neodeath · 25th May 2003, 08:53 PM

damn right:lifeup:

Jessa · 25th May 2003, 08:54 PM

neodeath · 25th May 2003, 08:56 PM

Jessa · 25th May 2003, 08:57 PM

I wish there had been a choice of "I don't hate him, but I'm glad he's not in the film." Bombadil is not my favorite character and the silly poems are annoying. PJ made the right choice to -- as it were -- cut to the chase.

hehe, like i said, if they had put tom in we could have been in the cinemas so long people might've started wondering where we were :P :lifeup:
