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

- TriviaThe director of this film found many of the backgrounds on free stock footage websites, that are listed in the credits of the film. He shot the film around what he had, which led to scenes in wine cellars and fields inhabited by leprechauns.

General Darwin: I hate dust! I don't want it building up in my home.
[Hannah and Henry walk into the room]
Hannah Darwin: Hi, daddy.
General Darwin: You let dust build up, and before you know it, you've got an army of dust bunnies plotting to take over. Beautiful flowers, where did you get those from? Our garden?
