I must say that Frodo was, mostly due to the magnificent performance Elijah Wood gave, and Sam and Gandalf run very close seconds. In the books, my favorite characters are Aragorn, Faramir, and Theoden (with Sam and Gandalf again running very close seconds, and Eowyn, Merry and Pippin coming close upon their heels, with the friendship of Legolas and Gimli one of my favorite character plots), but I must say that while I loved the movies very much, I was disappointed in the character changes in Aragorn, Faramir, and Theoden. My heartiest admiration goes to Elijah Wood for the emotion and beauty he put into Frodo.
