As others have said, it was weird to have elves turn up at HD, but once they were there, it was plenty of fun, and Haldir's death was poignant not only because he was a good guy, but because it was representative of the sacrifice the elves made. As Elrond points out (yuck, but necessary for the non book readers), even if Aragorn survives the coming battles, he still dies. Haldir never needed to die. His sacrifice is therefore more meaningful than any number of human deaths.
