I really wanted to like this film. It could easily have been a rather good movie. Unfortunately, the writing was so bad it ruined it all.
Doesn't surprise me the movie was written and produced by the same men: Jason Faller and Kynan Griffin. These guys shouldn't write movies. It's not even bad in a good way, like in some funny and enjoyable B-movies. There is no tongue in cheek. It is not a parody. It's not even a hong-kongish marshal art film. The solutions are just incredibly bad and the plot is thinner than an elven maiden's hair. The final battle with the avatar summoning is fittingly the unholy crowning of this: the elf who was just a moment ago captured by these orcs, can now join the worshipers and then is suddenly realized as an assassin, the failed distraction the orc and the paladin were supposed to create, the unbelievably lame slaying of the avatar with an unexplained ability of the paladin, the unbelievable death of the whole orc horde but the heroes staying alive, it's all so insanely bad I wanted to pull my hair and cry.
The movie has beautiful scenes, nice camera shots and magical moments. The orc and the elf were actually rather good characters and the actor and the actress played them good.
