Tolkienwas trying to make about the Elves, specifically seen inThe Two Towers.
However, in the books, this battle happens quite differently.
If for no other reason, its kind of a unit of a battle build-up, the director notes.

Interestingly, Jackson and company originally intendedLiv Tyler’s Arwento lead the Elves into battle.
For many Tolkien purists, it’s easy to see why this would become an issue.
This leads quite naturally intoThe Return of the King.

Because of this, there is almost no point in including them in the battle in the first place.
