I feel that a little orc goes a long way. The more you see - and certainly, the more you hear - the less effective they are.
In FOTR, the Moria orcs were good and creepy because there was little focus on individual goblins; it was the sheer number of them and their roach-like ability to climb that made them so horrifying. The Uruks were hulking and effectively menacing. I liked that all we really hear is "Find the Halfling!" No chit-chat.
Then we get to TTT where we encounter more Mordor orcs who, IMO, are sillier looking than they are scary. And the more they talk, the sillier they seem, even the Uruks who were pretty darn frightening in FOTR. I realize that they talk in the books, but that's something, again IMO, that should have been left in the book. Monsters are more frightening on screen when they keep their cake-holes shut But that's just me. I know a lot of people really liked the orcs.
