I was thinking about it today, and I think I like the elves in the book much, MUCH better than the elves in the movie. I'm finding that the elves of the movie are getting in the way of me enjoying the elves of the book, so I kind of have to separate the two in my mind, because they are so different than the way I pictured them.

Definitely! The Elves in the book laugh more and seem genuinely concerned about the poor mortal folk being left behind in ME. In the book, Haldir and company are not snooty at all!

How are they that different in the film than the books? - You speaking of Haldir? The Lothlorien elves were snotty in the book too - the thing with the blindfolds and such...

And with the exception of Galadriel's Halloween moment, which I think is overblown, the other elves seem just like the book to me, and Legolas certainly makes up for flaws of the others, don't you think? What to you mean?
