Yeah, sorry Gashberz but seems like a bad call. They were totally more barbaric and animalistic. Much more one-dimensional, their entire motivation seems to be that they were evil, working class peasants (at least in the TTT with their accents). <P>Uglśk and Co may have chopped a few necks in the book, but no Orc ever ate another one. Even they didn't practice cannibalism. You only have to read Robinson Crusoe to see what Tolkien probably would have thought of that! As a matter of fact, doesn't Grishnįkh insult Uglśk by saying he probably eats Orcs' flesh?<P>Hopefully PJ shows the "lighter side of Orcs" with the conversation between the captains in Torech Ungol. But I don't have a lot of faith that it will happen. Trust not to hope, it has forsaken these movies several times already.
