I also hate the way the Elves are portrayed. They're stuck up, way, way too regal, sanctimonious and dull.
Elves are supposed to be joyous and mystical, and full of life. I can barely watch them in the movies.
Really? I thought the elves were spot on in the movies. They were viewed almost as godly figures. Cause they kinda were. They were the first race to walk Middle Earth. The first Children of Illuvatar. Immortal, fair, wise. The only race granted privilege to live with the Vala and Maia in Valinor. Not saying that the Ainur didn't love the other races of Middle Earth. But the elves were special.

Biggest let down of the films, IMO.

The elves were special, but his description of them also being joyous, whimsical, and full of life is also accurate. They didn't have the same gravitas and air of superiority that they have in the movies. At least that's how they were in the Hobbit. In the book when Bilbo visited the vale I'm pretty sure that's how he described them. They were supposed to be a lot of fun and interesting. When the group first sees the wood elves they are supposed to be having a party around a fire.
