Um...did you actually watch the same movie as everyone else? I'm sorry but virtually nothing in your post makes sense.
Sam was never portrayed as 'stupid'. Foolish sometimes but it's the same in the books. For the most part he was shown as dedicated and loyal to Frodo.
Sam in the books *was* somewhat fat.
In the books Sam never killed 'many orcs' at Cirith Ungol. In fact all he does is wound a single orc who then dies as he slips on the ladder.
Sam in the book was meant to be a slightly comical figure.
Sam in the book was shown to be very passionate about his pots and pans so it's not too ridiculous that he could use them in a fight.
