Why no Tom Bombadil?

Rating: 8/10 (16 December 2015)

Alert: There will be spoilers in this review if you have not read the book or watched the movie. Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is a very interesting film. Adapted from the first book in J.R.R. Tolkien's trilogy and part of the second book, it encompasses a story of friendship and downfall. Throughout the movie the acting is done very well and the plot is consistent. The way each character is portrayed is similar to what I expected from the book, except for Merry and Pippin. One negative I do have to say for this movie, is that it does not include one of the most influential scenes in the book, meeting the god like Tom Bombadil. Other than this the movie is excellent and can be enjoyed by any fan of the Lord of the Rings series or anyone who likes fantasy and action. I give this a rating of 8 out of 10 since the ending is of the second book and not the first, using this they had cut out the scene of where Sam confronts Frodo about trying to go off alone, this takes away the importance of the bond between Frodo and the one best friend that will never leave him.
