Tolkien is doubtful of man's ability to resist the temptation of absolute power
I can't wait to see how this plays out on the screen. I'm curious to see how they portray Boromir's fall. It's a shame they won't have Tom Bombadil's immunity as a contrast.

I'm starting to wonder if they left out Bombadil not so much for reasons of time constraints, but because they really didn't know what to make of him...
