The Amazing Bulk (2012)
Henry "Hank" Howard, an ambitious but frustrated young scientist, struggles to develop a super human serum designed to improve muscle mass and prolong life expectancy. His boss, the grumpy General Darwin, will not allow Hank to marry his daughter, Hannah, until the experiment is a success. 

Against Darwin's wishes Hank proposes to Hannah anyway, but his life is shattered by a mugger who steals his engagement ring. Feeling dejected, Hank injects himself with the experimental serum and is transformed into his alter ego, the "Amazing Bulk." 

The Bulk goes on a rampage through the city destroying everything in his path. Hank is caught by a relentless detective, imprisoned by Darwin and forced to battle the sadistic  Dr. Kantlove, who threatens to blow up the moon with his arsenal of nuclear weapons.

    Unwatchable. Not Suitable For Bad Movie Night

    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!

    An insult to the viewer and bad cinema

    Many of us enjoy a genuine effort to make a movie that results in a hot mess. Part of the sadistic joy is recognizing many diligent months if not years were poured into the work, only to fall gloriously short.

    This movie flips the story. Luring you into the promise of a genuine Z movie, but instead is an extraordinarily lazy, pathetic, painful effort to pump out something straight to ignominious glory. This is not Birdemic. This is not the Miami Connection. It's just crap for crap's sake. Not worthy of dishonorable mention. Just indifference.

    Pure Pain

    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
    1ramoncarrasquel

    I've never seen a movie where every aspect is wrong

    The Amazing Bulk may be the worst movie ever made, even worse than Saving Christmas or Kod Adi K.O.Z, and here's why

    Story: 1/10

    the story doesn't make any sense, there are some many things that don't make sense, and there are many sub plots, that not only are bad, but don't connect with the plot at all.The dialogue in this is movie is terrible, the writer must have take a giant turd on the script to make it this bad,and the whole story is a rip-off of The Increidble Hulk

    Acting: 1/10

    the actors don't know what acting is, they make their performance so bad, that makes the acting of Troll 2 and The Room look good in comparison

    Visual Effects: 1/10

    MY GOD, the visual effects of this movie are AWFUL, not only is unbearable to watch, but all is filmed on green screen or in random websites that the director found, it wasn't better to film it in real life environments?, and also the characters models are terrible (like Bulk, a monkey, a dog, Robin Hood)

    Characters: 1/10

    I just going to resume with this, all the characters are one dimensional or annoying

    Editing: 1/10

    the editing of this horrible, the transition scenes are poorly made, the characters don't feel like there are in the backgrounds, the are scenes that doesn't make sense and don't have connection with the plot

    Conclusion: The Amazing Bulk is maybe the worst movie of all time, everything about it is wrong the acting, writing, directing, editing, visual effects, characters. Don't watch this movie it will make your eyes bleed, and it's not of those movies that are so bad they're good

    Overall: 1/10 a perfect example of how not make a movie
    1bobbynitefall

    Do not hurt your brain by watching 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

      [Hannah and Henry walk into the room]
