It may not beat The Two Towers for sheer spectacle and thrill, but this is still some feat.

The best part in the best movie trilogy of all time.

Satisfyingly, Astin's Sam grows the most here, coming into his heroic own. His big eyes, gazing adoringly and beseechingly at the tormented Frodo, speak volumes about loyalty and bravery.
