I have just seen the movie. I also have not read anyone else's reply to this thread so that my opinions are all my own:<P>When I first read The Two Towers I fell in love with Sam. And now I think I've fallen in love all over again. I think PJ did a wonderfull job giving him his parts from the book (po-ta-toes) while giving him some new spectacular parts. Sean Astin completely captivated me. If he had Sam doing the chicken dance It still would have felt like Sam because he made the part believable to me. I feel that although the story line was tampered with PJ brought out what the story ment and how the characters were developing. Sam and Frodo's relationship was superb. It showed Frodo being taken in by the ring with Sam coming into a more active role. Sam's speach at the ending was a great climax. Or at least it felt like a climax. And then to finish the movie off with Sam wondering if they will be in a story (OMG FRODO ACTUALLY SMILED!) and Gollum leading them off to Shelob's lair was brilliant.
