Oh yeah movie!Elrond is a completely different beast. I think he makes sense given what they were doing with the movies, but RoP Elrond is where it's at. THAT'S book Elrond to a T and I luv him.
Like for me I don't expect complete source-material fidelity because that can be hard, so long as it's getting The Vibes I'm cool and I love The Hobbit movies and RoP because they do get that for me even if bits of them are a bit wonky(mostly it's just some of the choices made but they're not so egregious for me I can't enjoy the adaptations for what they are).
