Cameron has this bad habit of deleting story bits in favor of vroom vroom buddow. There's a full hour of deleted scenes (some of which were deleted before getting fully CG'd) that help make it better.
Jackson can recognize some of the details Tolkien added that helped characterize, and he adds in other moments if necessary.
Tolkien himself thought that Sam's romance with Rosie was one of the central pieces of characterization for Sam's hero's journey, which became the most important part of LotR for him. So a tiny handful of scenes really does carry a lot of weight.
