Tom Bombadil's inclusion would have been a complete disaster for the film and his removal was a damn smart move. I never said he was an error in the book.
My favourtite book is Two Towers. And no mater which way you put it, the end of Retrun of the King went on too long; it was the main criticism levelled at the trilogy when it first came out.
Well, he perfectly well handles issues like 'What happened to the people invovled?' in all his other works. As far as the story itself was concerned, it finished long before ROTK did.
It seems that the whole end plot was tacked on to justify an epilogue; it wasn't worth it as the pilogie itself was unneccessary.
