I think that PJ's script had Elrond being, in some ways, totally unsympathetic to the plight of Men. Thats sort of surprising considering his twin brother became Elros Tar-Minyatur of Numenor as well as much of his extended family being from the houses of the Edain of the 1st Age. <P>They also meseed up the relationship between Elrond and Aragorn: the Story of Arwen and Aragorn comes to mind. If Aragorn was raised as Estel for 20 years of his life and then spent times as Thorongil in the South, then why in the name of Holy Heck would he have "strayed from the path set before him long ago".<P>I will say that The Last Alliance Eldar grew on me. Just wish they had included more of Gil-Galad's part.
