I think one's opinion on the movies is directly related to salvation. I am certain time will be spent in purgatory for any who deny the movies the greatest ever made.

I know next to nothing about LOTR, book or movie. In fact I only entered this thread to discover what lotr means. Is there hope for me?

There's always hope

Start with reading the Hobbit

I will say it is an utter travesty that Tom Bombadil was completely cut by Peter Jackson.

Jackson said he had to ditch poor Tom because of the runtime, according to him, Bombadil didn't add to the main plot and he didn't want to drag the Fellowship out any further than he had to. He does have a point but cutting Tom probably wasn't the best choice.

P.S : The combined length of all 3 movies are 11 hours and 22 minutes.

Cutting out one of the most jolly and carefree Tolkien characters? Some fan. A 20 minute scene would've probably been fine, especially since he felt the need to "flesh out" the Hobbit "trilogy" with a bunch of nonsense that isn't even in Tolkien (Tauriel, white orc, etc). The things of Tom he integrated into Treebeard would've sufficed in their proper place. But, I digress.

I'm not defending what he did, all I'm saying is that there were reasons behind the cutting. I love Tom as much as everyone else who read the books.
