Yes, Peter Jackson chose to leave the Tom Bombadil portion out because it really didn't detract from the storyline, so he says. Unless you count the fact that it explains where the Hobbits happened to come by ancient Numenorean weapons.
I have a friend, ubergeek but a good guy, who was very irate about this. Not so much about Tom Bombadil getting left out, which was disappointing to a lot of us but understandable. My friend was upset because Aragorn just 'happened' to have these ancient mystical Numenorean blades, and on Weathertop just kind of tosses them down, like 'oh by the way, I happened to be carrying around four ancient powerful knives. Thought you could use them.'
He's obviously ruminated on that point for way too long.  |

I choose to think that he hid them in his pants all the time. Mostly because I like thinking about Aragorn's pants...

They do? Did I read that right? Arwen never went to Helm's Deep. The story of Aragorn and Arwen wasn't even IN the Lord of the Rings. It was in the Return of the King Appendix.
You might be thinking of the fact that PJ thought about having her there for the movie. (And in reality, the 100 or so elves you see coming to help Rohan, never actually came.)

You are insatiable aren't you?
Haldir didn't do much of importance in the books except blindfold the fellowship and lead them into Caras Galathon (might have mudilated the spelling) And he didn't die.

so he got luckier
I do however think it's a good thing they put him in
it is however funny how none of the elves survived helms deep
is that a movie-mistake of just a hard fact? |
