Absolutely agree, anon. It's why some scenes in the movie just didn't resonate as much as they should have. At first thought that it was because neither Sam nor Frodo was my favourite character, and that made it harder to buy into the almost melodramatic tone of some of their key scenes. But even if the directing was for Sean Astin to come pitch his performance for awkward, I found that a lot of his dramatic scenes came across as forced.

(Also agree with the anons pointing out that Orlando Bloom is also a weak actor, and agree further with the counter argument that he didn't need to actually act much to pull off Legolas. Astin's weaknesses are more evident, because he was in a much more demanding role.)

One of the standout hobbit moments for me was the separation of Merry and Pippin in Rohan. With Pippin calling for Merry as Gandalf carries him away, and Merry in tears on the ramparts. Boyd and Monaghan nailed the scene, and I felt awful for them. But watching Sam and Frodo at their most dramatic? Didn't come close to engaging me like that, no matter how important they - or their actions - were.
