Yeah, Frodo and Sam were way too ****** in the movie.
My sister and I were actually discussing this (and watching the first movie) today.
Frodo is a complete @#%^. Sam is the one who actually did everything, or at least motivated Frodo to most of the stuff he did. Sam was the real hero of the movie that wouldn't give up. Frodo was whining about things from day 1.
And Gandalf is badass.
Young whipper-snapper, haven't you ever seen the Original Animated Movies?
Frodo was a lot cooler in them. He complained more than Sam, but not as badly as in the movies.
Also, try to understand that carrying the ring (and constantly fighting against its temptations) is a very exhausting endeavor.
The whole trip, Frodo is fighting the ring (and Sauron) in a battle of Willpower, while braving absolutely
harsh environments, physical exhaustion, dehydration, starvation, and of course, the constant dangers that they're in. He gets captured, imprisoned, tortured by orcs IIRC, and continues the march into what would be almost certain doom.
Try to give the little guy some respect.
Edit: And try to remember that Samwise couldn't bear to carry the ring
for just a couple days and was eager to give it back to Frodo, if memory serves. Meanwhile, Frodo carried it all that distance, and would go on to carry it clear to the volcano before caving in.
