Elrond's part is hugely enlarged (oops, should've rephrased that) from the books. In the Council of Elrond Tolkien does a great job of making Elrond seem immortal, ancient and wise. But apart from this, we don't see much of his real personality - what does he think, what makes him tick? Maybe you mean that movierond seemed a bit stiff and rigid, much too like Agent Elrond from the Matrix?
