Jeeeeesus Christ! That scene is pretty intense for a family friendly flick. This is what I loved about these films. They got as hardcore as they can get within the confines of a PG-13 rating. And OMG, the orcs look terrifying in this film! This was a lesson lost on Jackson when he did the Hobbit films and decided to go full CGI on the orcs in that film and they looked, well, not scary. The orcs would have looked so much better if they would have stuck with the traditional monster movie magic.
