I liked Elrond a lot (even though I had seen the Matrix). I think the word for the way he looked is stern - not unjust or evil or anything like that, but like someone who's seen a lot of terrible and misguided things in the course of his very long life (3,000 years is a long time to be thinking "Wasn't there *any* way I could have gotten him to throw the #$)*& Ring in?").
