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.
