Is it, though? Conventionally attractive, blonde dude vs grim, beardy dwarf? I'd rather look at the latter all day but I doubt I'm in the majority there.

Similarly, heroes are emphasised in the film more and villains under emphasised. Sauron, Saruman and Denethor all having less screen time than mentions.

That Sam is relatively underplayed is interesting also. Pretty sure Tolkien is on record saying Sam is the actual hero of the story. Which is there in the film, but clearly with a preference for focusing on Frodo more.
