Bon film !

Orcs have overrun a park. Obviously a low budget movie that doesn't take itself to seriously. Adam Johnson is great... check out Dudes and Dragons too.

I'm glad this was classified as comedy. Otherwise they would get 2 stars. This thing contained a number of direct references to LOTR such as the junior ranger saying that the tracks led away from the battle (a quote from Aragorn) and then they stand at the edge of the woods (Fangorn Forest). A good try but in the end, pretty bad. But it was worth a few laughs.

I have seen many movies that i couldn,t watched for more than 10 minutes. I enjoyed this film from begining to end. May be the story is a litle crazy but It was funny and enterteined all the way.

If you are looking for LOTR look elsewhere. A stoner ranger, his dim witted trainee and his militant enviormentalist girlfriend fight an invading tribe of orcs at a national park. All the characters are pleasantly two dimensional. Cheesy special effect and costumes. Predictable plot. But fun none-the-less.

I can't believe this got 4 star rating...maybe 4 out of 1000. This was simply terrible. I was very disappointed.

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.

Orcs! Is a very cute dorky comedy. I "get" the humor in the film. To me: The best aspect about this film was the relationship between the two rangers... The wise long time ranger and the new recruit! IMO the movie didn't have to be Orcs as the problem in the park it could have been Bigfoot, Apes, Bears or other creatures and the film would have been just as cute. Since I love LotR and odd-ball comedies this movie worked for me. The acting was good - it is suppose to be a dorky comedy and the actors pulled it off well. All in all I will rate the film 7/10.
