I understand what you're saying. Unfortunately, many things that work in book form don't do so well when translated to film (any Stephen King novel, for example :P). I like Bombadil as well, and expected him to turn up in the extended version, but wasn't so surprised when he didn't.
Hey, at least it still gives us a reason to (re)read the books, and get others who've seen the movies to try them!
