BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Nonureva Really Surprised!

Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Erikwk04 So let's get the obvious stuff out of the way. Orcs! is a parody of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy where orcs have been released from their mountain prison and are now on a rampage thru a national park. Our would-be heroes are parks rangers Loser and Dumbass, hippy tree hugger / Amazon warrior princess and Pee-man. Worse than the characters themselves is the acting, making each character completely unbelieving and impossible to warm to. The film suffers greatly from a lack of budget, with the orcs wearing masks to save costs on make-up and off- screen action moments. Simply put, the original A-team TV show had better special effects.That being said I will admit the director showed some real skill in hiding the lack of budget with some trick photography. But it doesn't make up for a bad story and the simple fact that Orcs! just isn't entertaining.I don't recommend this movie.

chicagopoetry I was laughing from beginning to ending of ORCS! The dialogue is so well written and witty that I felt like I was watching an instant cult classic. It's not forced camp but dry humor delivered with a straight face which makes these goofball characters and the orcs they are fighting so believable even if they are absurd. The two park rangers reminded me of Cheech and Chong in their early days, sort of at each other's throats but loving each other at the same time. Unlike most horror movies that deliver unlikeable characters getting slaughtered by unoriginal monsters, ORCS! gives us fresh, caring characters fighting against a truly original premise with a climax of a siege reminiscent of Assault on Precinct 13. I enjoyed nearly every minute of ORCS! and highly recommend it to anyone who wants to see something funny and original.

Viktor Simeonov Other than that, it's got a decent plot and nice acting. I'd say the movie as a whole is like the movies from the early '90s - not many special FX, and a not-too-bad storyline.Probably your average "zombie" movie. Only it's Orcs they're fighting, not zombies ^.^That ranger volunteer seems a bit gay-ish, but that's probably cuz of the role itself, not the actor :)The final battle isn't too long nor too boring. I believe they caught the movie's culmination very nicely.Although I can't shake the feeling of a bit clichéd plot - hordes of crazy creatures attack several people, and those few people win the big battle against a whole army.Still, I rate it somewhere in the middle - not bad, but not great either. I think 5's a decent mid-rate grade for this one :)

Tonni Thorsen This is the movie we have all been waiting for. If you like fantasy movies like Lotr, willow and the likes, you surely won't be disappointed about this movie. The setup are excellent, casting and acting superior and the computer effects truly brilliant! The movie is about 2 park rangers, that comes face to face with orcs as we know them from Lotr. Will they survive or will the orcs win.If you are as lucky as I was, that the movie came with the virtual reality helmet, you are in for an fascinating experience. wear the helmet, relax and watch as the world around you turns into a fantasy setting with you in it.I've seen a lot of movies in my life, but this is not just like any other movie, its beyond that. Its a life in a movie. Your life!!! What are you waiting for?!?
