In my opinion Sam was the best portrayal in the entire movie. Overall with regard to the hobbits I thought they did fairly well. I myself would have liked a bit more mirth making though. I thought Bilbo was done well as was Pippin and Merry. Frodo was a bit of a let down for similar reasons as Boromir stated.

Elves on the other hand I did not like much at all. I guess I could say I found them a bit too fruity for my tastes. I know they are mystic and noble but I also think elves are great warriors and they seemed too...well too fruity like I said. That being said Galadriel was by far my favorite elf and Cate did an exceptional job in that role.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
