Orcs! (2011)

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

I mean, really, Mr chicagopoetry? How much did they pay you to write your nonsense review? Laugh? When exactly did you laugh? Pathetic acting, pathetic actors and story. I suppose the cameramen and editors have to start somewhere, so it wasn't a complete waste of 3 million dollars.And the incidental music? Yes, that must have given some people some work for a few weeks.Unfortunately, this rubbish type of film is now getting into rubbish TV channels, so there's no avoiding them. Ah, well, at least I can pass the time by writing genuine reviews on IMDb that, hopefully, people will take more notice of than the stuff written by the actors' or producers' shills.

All over my country you couldn't visit a shop without seeing this flick. When you pick it up you will notice immediately that it says, the monsters from Lord Of The Rings are back. Do I need to say more?I didn't liked it at all, why you ask yourself. Well, there should be a bit of comedy in it, I didn't laugh at all. The only thing that gives my face a bit of a twist was the return of an urine sample. The main lead (Adam Johnson)annoyed me a lot and wasn't funny at all. I'm not used to see him in those acting parts, I remember him from Frozen (2010). The cadet Hobie wasn't funny neither, if youngsters would look at it maybe they would laugh.The orcs did look nice but when the are being shot they are hit with CGI bullets and the cheap kind of CGI, so it shows. And when they attack it goes on and on and nothing really happens. There are a few killings that are worth noticing but it doesn't save this picture. The decapitation was okay but it was too late.It's sad that this so-called comedy didn't work at all for me. Gore 1/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 1/5 Story 2/5 Comedy 0,5/5

While this movie is far from the best movie that I have ever seen I found it surprisingly good. Maybe its because when I rented out this movie I didn't have great expectations. Sure the acting was pretty average, the story line while making sense wasn't the best. The subtly jokes that it pulled at other movies and just the idea of having orcs as the major villains made the movie funny. While it is considerably short I believe they made a wise move of keeping it at that length as the story line didn't drag.So in conclusion it's a good movie as long as you don't over think any of it as it is not a smart movie.

That is the "Orcs(!)" for you. And while I do like low budget movies with quirky characters, this just has nothing offer. It's one thing to be predictable, it's another thing, not to try to bring at least something unique to the table if you have nothing much more to offer. I'm not sure, if someone really wrote that this is better then LotR. And while tastes differ, you shouldn't really watch this movie with that review in mind .. you'll be devastated in the end.Unfortunately the actors have nothing much to work with, bad cgi and poor directorial decisions only add to the mess. If you go out and make a movie with no money, at least try to make something different and don't check all the boxes. That's my take on it of course. Was really disappointed in this, there is so much potential for a movie like this ...
