depressing story

Rating: 1/10 (7 September 2016)

This is really awful. I watched this on the basis of a high IMDb score so I feel obliged to weigh in and help push the score down.
I had trouble caring about the characters and I daydreamed off several times. The action is often very sudden so zoning out made it hard to follow the story.
I did however watch the ending and it is very depressing. Massive spoiler alert!!!!! The king has the human-looking orc kill him, apparently so that she can be taken back in by the orc-horde. Why not try and escape? Surely these guys need their king more than the off-chance that the orcs are dumb enough to believe this orc girl is on their side. Amazingly they take her back in. But then she intervenes to save the life of the other human, warning the orc demon that he will lose his leadership if he kills this human (in the specific context they are in). So it's OK to kill the king but not the warrior? Isn't she trying to get the orc demon disowned by the horde? This is blatant and contrived set up for the next movie. And frankly it's very downbeat and depressing. Hard to come away from this thinking: "great" can't wait for the next movie.
