I watched it expecting something really crappy. And the effects weren't the best obviously. The orcs weren't the best looking but they weren't the worst... So when it started out this was all I saw, and I thought I probably wouldn't finish watching. But once the story got moving I found the acting & dialogue to be surprisingly good. The camera work was good too.
I was just REALLY surprised that such a cheesy premise & low budget film could be so entertaining. If you ONLY want to see perfect effects & action sequences, then you'll be disappointed, but I thought they were good enough to tell the story without being so jarringly terrible that it breaks the 4th wall.
I give it a 9 for taking a really odd story and making it fun without a massive budget to fall back on.
