I think you are right up untill a certain point. According to my memory, Thranduil wasn't a king that worried a lot about the what happened beyond his forest, at least not to the extent Galadriel and Elrond. I will look foward to see if they go more in depth to the reason of why Thranduil went and become a part of the 5 armies battle.
[MENTION=5228]Razmos[/MENTION]; I think you won't like the fact that Legolas seems to have a MAJOR role in this movie, looking how much he is seen on the trailers.
