The Amazing Bulk (2012) Reviews

• Unwatchable. Not Suitable For Bad Movie Night

  blazewolf-525552016-03-17

  This movie is marketed as "The Room" of superhero movies. This is not even that. Some movies are good, some are bad, some are so bad they're good and then there are very special movies that are so bad, so god awful that that they are unwatchable. This movie belongs to that last category. The thing about movies that re so bad they're good is that some effort went into making them. This didn't have that. They bought graphics and used a green screen, and very poorly at that. The acting is terrible, the shots are all so awful, the CG, my god the CG was atrocious and...I really don't know what else to say. The final nail in the coffin is that when they realized how bad their movie was, they quoted an article calling it the room of of superhero movies (which I believe is giving it too much credit) and they market it that way, trying to make it sound ironic, like that this is worth picking up for bad movie night. If you ever see this movie on a store shelf and you need something for bad movie night, don't pick this one! For the love of God, pick something else! The makers of this movie do not deserve the money they make from this crap! FIND SOMETHING ELSE!

• If there was a word to sum up The Amazing Bulk, "amazing" would not be it

  TheLittleSongbird2015-02-08

  Even when taking into account that it's low-budget and taking it for what it is(which is not to take it seriously), that did not stop The Amazing Bulk from being an abomination and a truly embarrassing one at that, one where it is so amateurishly done that it would be impossible to get any novelty value. The Amazing Bulk has to be down there with the cheapest-looking movies ever, with the (over)use of green screen looking so painfully fake. It's drably shot and looks like it was edited on a near-broken bacon-slicer(especially in the "running", in speech marks but I am not sure what it was, scenes), while the cartoony special effects look a minimum of 25 years out of date. The Monster not only looks terrible(an external review likened it to the "love child of Tor and Barney the Dinosaur" and that is a perfect summation) but is not threatening or entertaining in the slightest, it barely does anything even. The music is over-bearing and more often than not doesn't fit at all and often an excuse to show how many pre-existing tunes you can find in one movie, which are nearly all out-of-place. It's an incredibly badly written movie too and that's being kind. The dialogue is so childish and awkward that it'd make the toes curl, if a student submitted this script as a writing assignment they would fail, and not narrowly, we're talking catastrophically. The story is stupid, unoriginal and dull and nothing else with a good number of random and irrelevant scenes, there is nothing thrilling, suspenseful or entertaining here(any fun anyone might get out of the movie would be unintentional). The stereotypical characters are obnoxious and one-note with very little personality injected in them. There is a distinct lack of effort and care in the direction and as for the awfulness of the acting, where to begin? It's almost non-existent, mannequins show more emotion and that is not a joke. With exception of the incongruously and annoyingly over-the-top General who belongs somewhere else altogether. Overall, an abomination in every area with nothing even halfway decent about it. 0/10 Bethany Cox

• Work of art

  Bad but in a funny way, kinda like the room. In all seriousness this movie is so awful it is actually somewhat enjoyable to laugh at.

• It pains me to call this a movie

  mrsnagem2014-07-18

  The Amazing Bulk is one of those films that doesn't really achieve anything... It's unoriginal, as it openly takes off of "The Incredible Hulk," and despite the possibility of it being some sort of satire or parody, it comes off as either trying to be too serious for this or rather just too poorly made. This leaves me unknowing of the motivation in making this film; It's very unclear. The story is dull, unoriginal, and overall crappy, while the characters are bland and "one sided" as it were, and the cinematography... Don't even get me started on how bad that was. I've seen better camera work done by grade school students with their iPads and Windows Movie Maker than that of which is in this film. It was like they didn't even have the budget to shoot in real life environments, and so they had to shoot everything on green screen, and make the environments digitally. Normally I wouldn't complain on this front; Lots of movies have done this (Star Wars, Avatar, and many other modern sci-fi films), however those films do it WELL- The Amazing Bulk does not, in the slightest. Sure, you CAN add in backgrounds with an editing software, but you're not going to use Microsoft Paint to make said backgrounds, are you? Apparently the producers of this "film" said "YES WE CAN!" I won't go on about any of the other aspects of this film, other than saying that everything about it is crap. Sure, I laughed a whole lot during this film, but only out of seeing its flaws and poking fun at how poorly made it was. The parts where this film attempts to be funny, such as the "montage" near the end of the film of it's protagonist running from all sorts of attackers, fail completely to be funny; They come off as random, strange, and some even made me slightly uncomfortable. There's more I could complain about regarding this awful attempt at creating a movie, but I really do not want to think about it anymore. If anything, watch it, only to experience what the worst movie ever made looks like. Sure, others will claim that the movie they watched is the worst ever, but I tell you without a word of doubt that this is the most utterly awful thing that I have ever put in front of my eyes. Birdemic, Foodfight, The Room, or whatever else may have you- None of those films are as terrible as this one. If I could rate this in the negatives, I would, however I can't.

• Do not hurt your brain by watching this

  bobbynitefall2016-03-17

  That is, unless you have no brain to lose. There is not one single person from this "film" that should ever work in films again. Take a bunch of stock footage and animation that couldn't have been made after 1999 and try to build a movie around it using "actors" who are really glorified baristas of waiters and should never be called actors. The best actor in the film in the bulk and he's laughably badly done. Everything is done in front of a green screen with tiny sound, badly filmed and badly acted. The director kept blaming a micro-budget but you can find so much better stuff on your average youtube channel. Speaking of Youtube, check out this review of the "movie". It will give you an even better idea how bad this stinker is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UE7I5mPHsSU
