Based upon the records found in the Silmarillion and the appedices of LotR, he is at least 6,441 years old (he was born prior to the beginning of the Second Age), but it is difficult to nail down his age much further than that.He was born quite late in the First Age, which makes him thousands of years younger than Galadriel and Glorfindel, and most likely younger than most of the elves in Mirkwood (including Legolas, who also has no listed birth date in the Second or Third Ages, making him a First Age holdover), as well as most of the elves in Lothlorien. If one wnet through the books carefully, I think you could easily come up with a half-dozen or more named characters who are clearly older than Elrond, and probably dozens of other elves who are probably older.As to things I liked about the movie. Pretty much all of it. The things I didn't like are too inconsequential to matter anyway.</blockquote>
