Yeah, the movies dumbified the moral status of the Elves a lot. By the time you get to the War of the Ring, the Elves remaining in Middle-Earth are aligned with the good guys, but they're not automatically good and benevolent by reason of their species, and a lot of them have awful things in their pasts. Plus, they're not always terribly interested in the fates of anyone other than themselves. Thranduil's Elvish beauty and whether or not he's a good guy have nothing to do with each other.

In the books, that is. I don't see any way you'd have known from the movies.

Thranduil's Elvish beauty and whether or not he's a good guy have nothing to do with each other.

And that's the way it should be. OP seems to want the "bad" people to always be ugly.

Or they have their nostalgia goggles on too tight and just want it to look like the version they grew up with.

I'll admit, some of my dissatisfaction with Cumbersmaug's creature design probably has its roots in similar sentiments.
