Not as horrible as critics make it out to be. But it's really only worth seeing on streaming.This would not be worth seeing in the theatre. It's a mash up of gritty cop drama and Lord of the Rings-style fantasy. It's an interesting concept, but most of the characters are underdeveloped, especially the villains. Only Joel Edgerton's Orc ch...

Almost a great film, but the ending lets it down just a bit. The concept is brilliant: buddy cop + _Lord of the Rings_ sequel. What you'd expect is a somewhat humorous popcorn action flick.

So after thoroughly enjoying this movie and coming out of it on a high, I was amazed to see the criticism. Some of the critiques make sense: the backstory is not explained, and why are orcs hate...

Well, you do get the feel that it will work as a series. But you also get the feel that like all the good shows Sci-Fi puts out, Netflix will only let it run long enough for you to get involved before they cancel it...so it is probably better it's just a singular film. The bad would be that, at least the introduction of Will Smith in t...
