Elves at Helm’s Deep was done for story-telling reasons, to compress the time frame and tighten up the pacing. Elrond was nearly all attributable to the actor.

The actor wrote all the lines?

And I disagree; the Elves at Helm’s Deep were a complete FAIL with regards to one of Tolkien’s story themes … the inward-looking Elves of Lorien would not leave their borders, even though they were doomed if they would not.
