Dorathen Better Late Then Never

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

Dirtylogy It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Mike Boyd 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.

Paul Magne Haakonsen Well, you know what you are in for when you look at the title of the movie alone. But still, I decided to watch this movie to conquer the boredom.The movie in itself was a mixed blessing. The camera-work was actually quite good, and the locations and scenery was off the charts. Lots of really nice stuff to look at here. Lots of vibrant colors and locations.Now, the bad stuff about the movie was the story. Come on, orcs being released from the confined subterranean of a mountain by some miners blasting for ore. Well, alright, why not? But orcs? Come on... And to make matters worse, the orcs resembled nothing more than teenagers running confused around at a live role-playing game event. It was dreadful to look at. And the fighting scenes were rigid and painful to behold.As for the acting, well, it was not top notch. Unknown names and faces, to me at least, but then again, in a movie like this, I wasn't expecting to see anyone with a named carved for themselves in Hollywood already. There were moments of good acting, but there were also moments of horrendous acting. And the movie wasn't particularly helped along by an exciting dialogue.All in all, "Orcs!" is a low-budget movie that uses pungent humor and suffers from a terrible storyline. But the movie is set in amazing surroundings, which actually helps make it bearable to watch. If you are bored out of your mind and want some non-brainer movie, "Orcs!" might just be the thing for you.

weemonk Tut tut to the person who wrote the glowing review.This is an oddball film. It's low budget with first time actors....I'd even go as far as to say this is some sort of strange LOTR fan-boy homage. That's the feel that I had at the end of the film.So - 2 dorky park rangers, whilst out doing their jobs, encounter Orcs which have been living in the mountains for a long long time. It's up to them to stop them. That's it! As simple as that, you have the story.I can't say that the film was an engrossing entertaining watch but for a low budget 'I have a film idea and I'm gonnna make it' labour of love for those involved in making the film, it's not too bad.The acting could use some work but otherwise the locations, costumes and effects are admirable considering. If you want to waste some time watching something mildly entertaining then give this a try.

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 :)
