Re: Why don't people like Tom Bombadil?

I’ve got nothing against him, but he doesn’t translate to film well. The problem with Tom is that he isn’t part of the same story as the other characters. He isn’t even part of the same literary tradition. He’s basically pulling our mains into a crossover.

That’s kind of cool, but it does grind the main storyline to a halt fairly early in the action. And when you’re dealing with a story that is already fairy leisurely paced, that’s a problem, at least in a movie. I actually do think that clever writers could successfully include Tom if they were working in a miniseries format.
