Did anyone else get the feeling that Jackson tried to make the wizards appear to be of human origin?
I was under the impression that Gandalf was of the same order or closely related to the order of Sauron.
Do we even know how old Gandalf is?

In the movie Elrond claims to have been at the battle when Isildur cut the One Ring from Sauron's hand, which of course is a plot twist, but is Gandalf not also an immortal?
Wouldn't he be old enough to know that happened?
The fact that he searched archives for the knowledge kind of left me scratching my head.
I thought he was more of a contemporary to Elrond than a younger man, which is the impression the movie gave, or is that again, just an adaptation?
