I went on vacation last week and brought both the FOTR book to re-read for the beach and FOTR movie for home. (I got home last night) and I'm a bit hot under the collar over the fact that they traded Glorfindel for Arwen during the scene where they are being chased by the Wraiths to Rivendell (or Imladris, whichever you prefer) but that is so incredibly irritating to me that they would do that. It's so incredibly unrealistic. Arwen Undomiel is a noblewoman, she wouldn't be out there encountering near-battles with the Dark Lord's favoured servants. Glorfindel, on the other hand was the marchwarden of Imladris and he had also been tracking the Wraiths. Just so....arrrgh.

That was one of the few things that they changed that got on my nerves. Other than screwing with Elves appearances.

I think they could have made them less human looking. And they seem to leve out the light all elves have around them on the guys. Arwen had it only once. Mirkwood are supposed to have short curly black hair? I need to reread the books.

It's in The Hobbit, I believe, and the Silmarillion, you can trace the Mirkwood elves back, it describes the Elves appearance. But the Elves of Mirkwood are short, close cut curly black hair, and rather paranoid.
Noldor/Lorien elves are pretty much like the movie described
And the elves of Imladris have black hair and are tall, I believe.
