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.
Cobbled together from third-rate, royalty-free stock footage and back-yard, movie-maker green-screen techniques, this low-budget 'mockbuster' keeps surprising with how utterly terrible it gets, frequently swapping its CGI backgrounds with those clearly made in MS-Paint at a moments notice. 'The Amazing Bulk (2012)' is actually kind of admirable, though, in the way that the director managed to make a mostly legible story out of the little he had, seemingly through sheer will alone. That's for the first twenty minutes, at least, until it gets so boring, ill-advised and frankly incompetent that all the 'trash-art' fun and apparent admiration that could be found seeps away to an almost unwatchable level. I'd struggle to call it a 'film' to be honest, since it fails on every conceivable level - and do I mean every conceivable level - which you could categorise a feature film by. The few moments which provoke smiles are simply out of bemusement, though it's a good thing that it isn't as painful as something like 'Birdemic 2: The Resurrection (2013)' - where the cringes never provoke smirks, just pure and utter pain - or other similar 'entertainment' of the worst ilk available. This continues until the piece culminates in its beyond-all-reason finale that throws all caution to the wind, along with any cohesion or semblance of sense, and has our hero randomly chased, surely only as a result of a pure overabundance of these low-rent pre-rendered cartoons and a desire to use every last one of them, by a military tank, an attack chopper, a leprechaun, William Tell, a superhero, a poacher, a flying pug, an alien, a golfer, a pc-using gecko, a chameleon, an axis fighter pilot, a bloke riding a bomb and even the mighty Zeus himself. 1/10
This... thing... is almost beyond description. Here is a little chart to explain.Types of film: -Masterpiece -Excellent -Enjoyable -Average -Poor -Shoddy -Awful -Utter Abomination, the likes of which mankind has never before experienced.Amazing Bulk falls into this last category.CGI looks like it was made using a combination of MS Paint, slideshow software and a 3D design program free demo from the 90s.Acting is so bad its not funny, just cringe worthy.Direction was obviously done by a four year old.Soundtrack doesn't deserve any kind of recognition or mention.The script was most likely penned by an illiterate chimpanzee.Story is randomly constructed from irrelevant fragments.Overall, so dire that it makes you cry. Laughter or sheer despair, I don't know
The amazing bulk is a recent addition to a line of intentionally made Z movies. After I heard about it from another reviewer and heard about all the stock animation I tried to make a drinking game out of it; every time I saw a stock animation I took a drink, I had to stop very quickly for my own safety. as for the rest of the film it's a compilation of stock animations, garbage acting and Halloween costumes being used as a wardrobe. The movie tries to be a Z movie but fails at that, It's a junk film that will soon be lost to obscurity where it belongs, The Amazing Bulk is most certainly one to avoid.
