not read. Elements of the movie that seem cliche seem that way because of all the people who've borrowed from Tolkein over the last sixty years. To be even halfway true to the book, the moviemakers had to leave some now-cliche elements in. And the monsters in this were orcs, not ogres, you twit. If you care enough to write on and on and on about it, get it right. Movies are NOT full of orcs. They have NOT been overused. Most of the public hadn't heard of them. If "Lord of the Rings" isn't your thing, fine, that's up to you. But why the hell rant for so long about it?
