Well, duh, all the way! Lurtz!!! He rocks, I guess, and he's the toughest and most loyal orc.

You weren't able to make it a poll because only a few members are allowed to make polls.

As for the question, I really didn't like the movie orcs. They were generally stupid and for example Grisnákh was a joke unlike in the books. I didn't like any of the "important" Orc characters in the movies (except maybe the Olympic Torch Bearer, oops, I mean the Orc who destroyes the wall in Helm's Deep - he was okay) but some of the background Orcs look cool or even cute.

Really? Ok, That should lower the confusion level down a bit ^_^ And i have to say it, When i was watching the Olympics when it came to the lighting of the torch, that was the first thing i thought of

Okay...oddly enough, my absolute favorite orcs are as follows:

The orc which opens his eyes real big at Pippin when they're completely surrounded in Moria.

The orc Legolas shoots while one the stone stairway in Moria, which, after being shot, shrieks, falls, and bounces off a rock before falling into the chasm.

And, the orc in the RotK extended which shouts - "Inspections!" His eyes are the coolest.

But, otherwise, I agree entirely with what Lommy said...about the orcs being dumbed down half the time.
