Don't be too rough with each other! We're here to appreciate, and sometimes lightly rib, Tolkien's fantastic creation, and all of its derivative works. Arguments happen, but remember, in the words of Tolkien, that food and cheer and good song are what make a merrier world!

Boromir is a hero. If the bar for not being a hero is that one was not tempted by the ring then there are no heroes in LOTR
Samwise? I can't remember the lore now
He’s tempted briefly when Frodo had been captured and he carries the ring, but he breaks out of it.
Kind of? The Ring desperately tries to find something to bribe him with, but he just doesn’t want anything except to go home to his garden. So the Ring tries offering to turn all of Mordor into a garden just for him.
Sam thinks about this for all of a few minutes before deciding (quite sensibly) that a kingdom-sized garden would be a pain to take care of, and promptly spends the rest of the story ignoring the silly piece of jewelry.
