Yes, but orcs are quite different from the book in the movies. // [In reply to] Can't Post
Any sign of intelligence, free will or personality have been deleted from the book. Orc dialogues and intrigues are delightful in the books, but maybe making the orcs too human would have make the movie too hard for children, since tens of them are killed every minute. That's maybe why they portrayed them as brainless cannibalistic psychos.

                                    Personally I don't see why all the Orcs need to be involved with Sauron to begin with... sinister71 Send a private message to sinister71 Oct 10 2012, 12:39pm

                                                That isn't entirely true. Quoth Elrond, "nothing is evil in its beginning. Even Sauron was not so." AinurOlorin Send a private message to AinurOlorin Oct 11 2012, 9:28pm
