Lets face it: there's no way they could have put everything in the books into the movie. It would be so long they would have to charge double admission! However, there were some things that should not have been forgotten. Some events that were very important to the storyline in the books were left out.
For one thing, I believe that Tom Bombadil and the adventures in the Barrow should not have been excluded. If Merry didnt get the sword from the Barrow Downs that was made for the Ancient goblin wars, how does he later help Eowyn kill the king of the ringwraiths? Only blades forged by the men and elves of long ago could harm the dark captain and the other 8 wraiths, and now Merry doesn't have one!! What will now happen in the Return of the king when that time comes?!
They'll probably just leave Merry out of that scene entirely...
What else did they leave out? Post it!

I forgot all about Tom Bombadil until you mentioned it. I read the books like 3 years ago. He was pretty funny. I like all the songs taht he did. Do yu think that they might make a Hobbit movie after they finish these 3?

Maybe they will redo the Hobbit. That would be cool. I'd like to see Smaug on the silver screen! I know they did a cartoon one, but a cool live-action one would be, well, cool!
Just an update: Two Towers on VHS and DVD on the 26th of August!! Got your $20 ready?
