I really like him too. DO you feel that he should have been in the movie?

I second that. He gave (and exemplified) one of the most important messages in the story when he told Frodo, "I can't carry it, Mr. Frodo, but I can carry you."
May we all be blessed to have many Sams in our lives, and be graced to be able to be Sams ourselves.
Blessings,
Gerry

Re: Who is your favorite LOTR character
Gandalf. Kind, calm, totally dependable. The only guy you never have to worry about.

Re: Who is your favorite LOTR character
You need to distinguish between the book and the movies. Jackson destroyed the characters in the movies.

Yeah, I really agree with that one. Frodo was too soft, Gandalf was just completely wrong, and yeah everything else. Plus there was just so many things he left out.
You have to admit that the design for things were done well though, like Isengard.

Re: Who is your favorite LOTR character
In the movie -Legolas (purely superficial reasons  ), in the book Gandalf, and I really like Faramir's character much better in the book.

Re: Who is your favorite LOTR character
Gimli from the book. He was made too much into a comic-relief in the film.
