Who's feeling emotionally compelled to follow the bratty elf girl? She has shown few redeeming qualities. She seems to want to prove herself right about Sauron still hanging around just to be right (and been very reckless towards that end) whereas the characters in the fellowship were making a sacrifice for their friends, their homes, and the people they loved.

I actually think the two highlighted areas could resolve themselves. I know a lot of people were rather unhappy with how Galadriel was portrayed, but I think if they play it right, they can use her getting deceived as a way to grow the character. A way to turn her into the version we know from the OT.
With that said, I do agree for the most part. There seemed to be a lot of really poor decisions made by the writers. And I have to wonder if we will eventually look back on some of this similar to how Star Wars fans look at Hayden Christiansen? We may realize the actors were not the problem but it was just poor writing that did them in.
