Well 'aint Barney the purple dinosaur! Would you like something, big??? Yes! Would you like something, hmm, hard??? Yes, Yes!

The movie is funny, at first, but by the end, it's clearly wore-out its welcome. It's not even that funny for 'it's so bad, it's good'. To the best of my knowledge, the people that made this film are known; cheapskates. They're most famous for making knock-off comic book mockbusters movies like 2008's Metal Man & 2009's The Black Knight – Returns; ripping off both 2008's Iron Man & Dark Knight. Both director Lewis Schoenbrun, and producer David Sterling, could really care less, if their movie sucks, as long as they make money off of it, piggy-backing on the publicity of the major film. Yes, it's a shameless con to get audience to watch their films. While, I don't agree, with their tactics, I have to say, it's somewhat works. After all, it got me, curious enough, to check out, how bad, their movies are. After viewing this, I have to say this movie has to be one of their worst looking films, ever. Even the Incredible Hulk character from the comic books thinks it need to be crushed. The movie was made to capitalize on the semi-hit film of 2008's Incredible Hulk, and cheaply made for a 2010 release. The producers didn't find, anybody willing to put it on DVD until mid: 2012. Once again, it was trying to exploit the popularity of the Hulk, when the first Avengers movie came out, also came out that same year. I don't know, who says this movie was release in 2013, because it's clearly not. Having previously produced two other superhero mockbusters, this movie is harmlessly bad, catering a lower budget of your typical Asylum mockbuster. The whole of the movie was filmed in front of a static green screen as if they were trying to go all comic book feel like 2006's 300/2005's Sin City with a computer background, but I think, otherwise. I think they just didn't feel like paying for film locations. Anyways, this meant, when actors had to act, they had to do it in one spot, so that the green screen can work. The attempts to merge it with live action fail embarrassingly. This made walking or running look really awkward. I guess, the computer company only made a few backgrounds that the film makers could use, and so a lot of those locations tend to repeat multiple times. The ones that wasn't made by a computer company, were clearly noticeable. They were NASA stock footage or home video footage of some type of state fair. Then, there are the drawings background that look like a preschooler made it with Microsoft Paint. It's missing a lot of detail. The green screen effects themselves looks dated, as if they were using a 1990s computer graphics model. This meant a lot of cartoonish 3D clip art like animation. Things in the background, looks out of place, in the wrong size, or just there for some oddly done reason. There are just way too many ridiculous objects and animals that get screen time because the CG models were pre-existing. They don't care, if the CG models doesn't makes any sense with what's going on, the screen. The movie has also, so really gimmicky with its transience editing from one shot to the other. It looks weird for the camera is zoom in, or zoom out of objects. Another thing is the monster, Bulk. He looks like a badly made computer animation, California Raisin Michael Chicklas that got beaten by an ugly stick. The CGI Bulk moves in the most non-threaten way, as it's skipping, or speed walking. In close shots, they couldn't use the CGI bulk, so they use a toy prop hand painted purple as a stand-in for him. In other shots, the movie clumsily paint the actor's back purple to make it look like, the Bulk was attacking. Wow- they don't even look the same. The human characters are just as bad with their over the top hammy, or underwhelming delivery. I can't understand, how dumb the one-liners and dialogue is. The movie tries to do some humor, but most of the jokes are misses than hits. The sex jokes are just painful to listen to. The movie pacing drags for moments, throughout the film, just to make sure, the audience gets the joke. The movie is way too long for the simple plot. The movie tells the story of Henry 'Hank' Howard (Jordan Lawson) an ambitious but frustrated young scientist, trying to develop a super human serum designed to improve muscle mass and prolong life expectancy. His boss and father in law, the evil General Darwin (Terence Lording), will not allow Hank to marry his daughter, Hannah (Shevaun Kastl), until the experiment is a success. Against Darwin's wishes, Hank attempts to propose to Hannah, but his life is shattered by a criminal, Dr. Werner von Kantlove (Randal Malone) who just blew up, most of the world, and now plans to blow the moon, due to feeling dejected. Feeling like he has to do something, Hank injects himself with the experimental serum and is transformed into the Bulk. Now it's a quest to stop, Kantlove and save the world, before it's too late. Without spoiling the movie's twist ending. I just have to say, the movie's last action chase scene is the one that broke me. I had to turn it off. It was clear, that film was made to be deliberately appalling with a semi-dull and unoriginal story. Overall: This movie has some entertaining value due to how surreal, the visuals are and it's use of classical music. Other than that, it's a piece of crap.

Look, I know that a lot of parody movies are intended to be bad, but this is no exception. While there are creators who make their movie intentionally bad (but on a certain degree to where it's actually enjoyable), they also put in effort to make it good. Then there are those creators who intentionally make it bad and get extremely lazy and sloppy with their "work", Lewis Schoenbrun (the director of The Amazing Bulk) definitely falls into the last one. It's like he made the movie effortlessly bad, adding all of the atrocious CGI animations and unnecessary backdrops for no rhyme or reason at all.

The animations are either there for shiz and giggles, or are completely out of place and have absolutely nothing to do with the movie. Like the monkey playing with the rocket at the villain's (yes, there's a villain) lair, the random kids at a playground, and last but certainly not least, a dog in a cave with a goblin. These animations make no sense, it's as if they're just there because the editors didn't want to waste all of the other CGI animations they've bought. Not to mention the extremely weird and "so not obvious" sexual innuendos placed in there, like the spacecrafts and the villain's "jokes".

The acting.. The God forsaken acting.. Please, do not put these actors in anymore movies if you actually value the quality in it. Other than that, be my guest.

TL;DR: Do not buy this movie. Do not watch it. Do not even look at it. If you're planning on buying this for laughs, don't bother, you won't get any.

Adiós! - Jade

Watching this "movie" was genuinely one of the worst experiences of my life. Every transition, every edit hurt to watch, everything in the 76 minutes of viewing felt agonizing and torturous.

The film roughly following the plot of any Hulk story, with the exception of everything being terrible. Every scene of this film is shot on a green screen, which has worked in films like Sin City, but this film pulls it off about as well as Attack of the Clones. Well, almost.

The ending is one of the most ridiculous and insane thing I've ever seen in my life. There was no reason for anything that occurred during the ending. Zeus, soccer kids, flying dogs, I spent the last 10 minutes of the screening with a shocked look on my face according to my friend who watched it with me.

Overall, I would not recommend this movie for anyone except die-hard Red Letter Media fans or people who are into masochism as this film is worse than water boarding.

Plot - 10/10, I have never seen such a profound plot in my life. Never before has there been a story more true to life than an obese German mad scientist firing a Saturn V rocket to destroy the moon.

Acting/Writing/Characters - 10/10, These actors must have studied their characters for years to get all of the nuances into their performances. "I hate dust." God, the dialogue is so great!

Special Effects - 11/10, EAT YOUR HEART OUT, INFINITY WAR!!! This is one of the most gorgeous pieces of film ever released to the general public. Every single piece of CGI is completely photo-realistic and suspension of disbelief isn't even needed at all!

God, this film is absolutely perfect in every way, shape, and form!

In all seriousness though, this movie is awful as hell and can only be enjoyed if you throw every single expectation you could possibly have for film out the window. If you go in with that mindset, or if you're drunk/high/dying slowly from disease, you will have a blast. If you have any expectations AT ALL, you will be disappointed beyond belief.

oh...my...god...where do I start? No, seriously, somebody give me a hand, I think I lost several braincells watching this flick.

So....first of all, you gotta admire the seriousness they wanted to put while set against some of the most ATROCIOUS green screen effects I've ever seen in my life! The 3D modeling was just horrendous, to the point where this whole movie, I was laughing histericaly at every single suck-ish detail. And speaking of 3D, the monster, the "Bulk" if you must, if you have ever watched Attack on Titan, you might know how the said titans can often run in some of the most hilarious ways possibles, like spasming chicken that grew arms and have no idea what to do with it. But while that make those guys creepy, in this movie, it just made it funnier. The plot itself was kinda...meh. The characters weren't that specially weird, except for the villain. That guy...deserves an Oscar, seriously. He made villains from power rangers seen serious! He makes Jim Carrey as Count Olaf seen SUBTLE!

Most of the tracking shots were Painfully slow, and I mean, using the whole soundtrack, made me want o pull that card from Monty Python and say "GET ON WITH IT!"

The only long scene where you actually want to enjoy, is the chase scene....OH MY GOD, where do I start again? the stock footages...the characters, the soundtrack....it was INSANE! I think the only way to sum up this scene, or rather, this whole movie, is with three letters I know everyone knows the meaning: WTF?

That aside, if you want a mockbuster that will make you laugh out of control, this movie is a must-see.
