Yeah, I noticed Tom missing of course but I think it was fine that way.
He would have been weird in the movie if you consider the overall pace of the first movie.
In the book so much more time passed anyway.
Wasn't Frodo around forty or fifty when taking the Ring?
I don't really remember those details. It's been so long since I last read the books.

Edit: I already checked the thread but it was all so in depth that it scared me off. XD
