He was very loyal to Frodo and i consider that he was also very brave, but was his loyalty out of his love for Frodo and because of their friendship, or was it because he was scared of what would happen if he did not follow his promise through
ONe thing I disliked about the movie was the whole "promise" thing. Sam made no promise to Gandalf. He could have turned back whenever he wanted, just as Elrond said. I don't believe he was following because of any fear (except fear that his master would die without him, of course), but he made no promise to anyone to bind him to frodo.
