I just don't see how the changes to the Hobbits' relationship were an improvement on the book.

They weren't. But the developments seem to fit an internal "movie logic" well enough. I much prefer the book's more fundamentally sound and secure Frodo/Sam relationship and also the great expanse of time that can be taken with it, as opposed to the fleeting instants by comparison that are given to the films to convey such things. It just cannot be done, so I don't compare them on a one-to-one basis but each according to their own separate 'logical' structures. It is less frustrating that way! 
Cheers,
Lyta
