I thought Sam did put on the ring in the books.
It also affected Boromir just being around it.
Didn't Smeagol kill a friend just to have it before even wearing it?
Yes. Basically, Sam was practically only one in the Fellowship who could resist the temptations of The Ring, because he had really simple desires.
I dunno... he didn't have it for very long in the films, then hesitated when Frodo asked for it back. He resisted the ring, but it still affected him a little bit.
It was more a concern for Frodo as Frodo was desperatefor the ring at the time.
In the book it shows you how the ring attempted to corrupt him and he kind of went "meh" at it.
How did the ring attempt to corrupt ol’ Samwise?
I forget the exact wording, but the Ring essentially showed Sam visions of being some sort of a supreme gardener king. Sam dismissed that as fucking stupid, because he just wants a simple garden.
