The Amazing Bulk

It took a strength of will to continue to exist while watching this. I felt the urge to implode, body and soul. I felt myself fade.

I have never been legitimatley hurt by a film before. Do not watch this.

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

Introduction:

As easily the most rip off film ever made. "The Amazing Bulk" is an essential in how not to make a film. With horrible visuals, bad acting, and garbage screenplay: this is a film that should avoided, but like a so bad it's good movie, it's worth at least one watch.

The Story & Characters:

Centering around a scientist who gets turned into a purple monster. This film has some of the worst writing of any film, and most nonsensical plot.

From a villain that makes no sense. And had basically no relavence. He could be taken out the movie, and it wouldn't change that much. To backwards motivations of every character. The film has no understanding of how to write a screenplay.

And when the film tries to be funny, the jokes are just confusing. Like when the villain is messing with some sattelites. It appears that the sattelites are trying to mimic sex. But the joke isn't funny and makes no sense. It's only when it's unintentionally funny, that the film gets a laugh.

The Visuals:

Bad CGI, horrible practical effects, and an over use of bad green screen. Now, many might see me as a hypocrite, claiming this, as I have stated that I like the Star Wars Prequels. And those films notorious for the use of special effects. Well, those films had effects that were very revolutionary for the time. I mean, ILM (the company George Lucas had), had to invent some of the technology themselves. And people loved them back when it came out. But this has no excuse.

First off, even though it was made in 2012, they're somehow than films that came out more than 10 years earlier. And the budget was very low, so the use green screen was a bad choice. It makes every frame look like an episode of "Blue's Clues". And it's embarrassing that thought it looked good. But kind of hilarious.

Conclusion:

This film is terrible. A great example of a bad movie. A movie that gives me a headache when I think about it. But makes me busy out laughing when I watch. This movie sucks, but I love it.

This has got to be the most awful movies I've ever had the misfortune to watch, most of the scenes are absolutely atrocious as they were bought online, the ending made absolutely no sense and almost made me die with laughter, the scene where "The Amazing Bulk" dies was nonsensical, the only good thing about this movie, is when it ended as my eyes were burning from this absolute garbage and by the end of this I ended this suffering by completely eradicating its existence. I would NEVER recommend this movie to anyone, if you see this at a shop, tell them to destroy the garbage because if they watch this useless time wasting crap called a "movie", they'll cringe to death.

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
