Don't listen to the negative reviews
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
I know this is a movie that about 10 people will see but in my opinion that's far too many.Upon seeing the trailer for this movie I thought to myself "wow that looks awful. But it also looks kind of fun." I was expecting a movie like the Room or Birdemic, A movie that's bad but enjoyable in how bad it is. I mean the trailer shows a Lord of the rings Orc pointing a gun at someone. it looked bad but the good kind of bad. So let me tell you know that scene is the only entertaining part of the film and its about 10 seconds long.You may have noticed that i'm putting off actually reviewing this movie and that's because I don't know how to review this movie, I mean what can I say? I can say the acting is atrocious the effects are Asylum level bad and the whole thing looks like a low budget porno. Everything about this movie is wrong.also as a side-note the poster is a huge lie there is no huge scale war in the movie it all boils down to like 13 people hitting each other with plastic weapons.this is less of a review and more of a warning to anyone thinking of watching this movie. Orc wars is not fun or enjoyable in anyway it's just boring there is nothing in this movie of any worth or value.never watch this movie no matter how drunk you are this movie is impossible to enjoy.
Sort of wondering about the legal implications of using what is clearly a slightly altered (in the hilt) or knock-off version of the LOTR licensed Sting sword. Clearly there's some fandom going on, including dialogue references to LOTR, so maybe it's all in good fun, but they even showed the sword in the end credits, with clearly visible Elvish script and all.However, have to give props; the practical make-up was pretty darn good, almost as good as the digital fill-ins were bad, and the voice acting at least was on the verge of stirring at times. Given the budget, good effort.
Oh my, the hate against this film... yes, the low budget DID reuse props from other films (especially LotR) so does every film company, big or small. You'd be amazed just how many films and TV shows ended up using that "cheezey" armor from the first Starship Troopers. Granted, the heroine using a "sting" replica was a little too obvious, but ya use what ya can get.As for the people complaining of "never missing", either they're blind, or we watched different movies. I was laughing my backside off at how much dirt was flying. Apparently "Special Forces" training has magically gotten a whole lot worse lately, as the guy could only land about 1 in 10, and Scooter couldn't figure out how to walk a machine gun into a target at all; something anyone who's played video games in the last 3 decades knows how to do.The actual tactics were surprisingly accurate. Don't know if that was accidental or intentional, but the orcs used actual movements, tactics, and formations that were used historically when we had that equipment. The soldier used fairly realistic military strategy. The redneck acted like a redneck. I gave points for that, even though Im not sure it was deliberate. Its so incredibly rare to see people in films that have even the least clue of what they're supposed to be doing.Overall, yes, it was low budget. Yes, the story was rather predictable. Guess what, that plot is rather standard fare for a good quarter of the fantasy/SF genre anyway. Your not gonna find a new angle after 7 decades of works. It burnt up a few hours, wasn't as bad as Sci-fi or BBC effects, wasn't as insultingly stupid as most USA and TBS TV movie plots, had a few cute faces, some chuckles, and one or two moments of decent bad-assery, if you actually knew what you were seeing.I've seen a hella lot worse here with better ratings.
Nit-picking small details is an easy way to write a review. "The special effects were poor, the acting was bad, the plot was stupid, blah blah blah." But every director knows that to make a good film you have to have a great many small and large details come together to do just one thing: entertain. Even several "bad" bits can be used effectively if the movie makers keep the goal in mind. The makers of this movie didn't let their little troubles get in the way, they just used what they had to good effect.I personally feel that this film delivers in the entertainment category. I really had a good time watching it. While the usual fantasy film clichés abound, it manages to breathe new life into many of them by directly contrasting them to the real world reactions of normal earth folk. The idea is not necessarily original, but it always has potential.The mix of modern weaponry against fantasy weaponry is really what this film is all about. Seriously now, who HASN'T watched "Lord of the Rings" and thought to themselves at one point or another, "Yeah... airstrike. That's what I'd do." Also, despite the drawbacks of poor animation and somewhat limited plot, the actors involved pull it off with enthusiasm, making themselves not just plausible, but even a little bit likable. The occasional witty comment was fitting, and the interplay between the orcs was reasonably fun to watch.It exceeded my expectations and I had a good time watching it.
