But It was visually awesome. If they would have described that in the book it would have seemed corny and off-putting. I think they adapted the movies pretty well. I almost would have liked to see Tom bombadil in some form, At the same time he was far too ... everything to put in the movie

Treebeard did get some of Tom Bombadil's role, for example rescuing Merry and Pippin from being swallowed by roots.

They constantly speak of the eye of sauron though, so it makes sense to show it in the movie.

You can gleam most of the knowledge you'll in life need from insurance and erectile dysfunction commercials anyways. Don't drink big letters coolaide!

They did say they get all of their information from ED, and insurance commercials.
