The Amazing Bulk

The Amazing Bulk is a 2012 American direct-to-video "superhero" film directed by Lewis Schoenbrun and made in 2008, but not released until 2012. The film was produced by Tomcat Films and distributed by Wild Eye Releasing.

It was considered to be a mockbuster/rip-off of 2008's The Incredible Hulk.

Plot
The film begins with a young woman walking on the street. Unfortunately, a mugger is about to kill her with a gun as a giant purple monster appears. He kills her as the monster starts to roar. Upon seeing the monster, the mugger shoots him and drops his gun. The monsters then runs away. The police arrive and a picture of the victim is taken. Detective Ray Garton and Lisa Tuttle see purple blood on the ground. One day earlier, government research scientist Henry "Hank" Howard is creating a serum that will increase the user's strength and longevity with his co-worker.

Why It Amazingly (And Intentionally) Sucks

 * 1) It's an obvious ripoff of 2008's The Incredible Hulk.
 * 2) The CGI is some kind of joke. This is the result of the entire movie being filmed on a green screen.
 * 3) An unoriginal story that attempts to differentiate the Hulk. In the film, it's about a scientist, Henry "Hank" Howard creating a serum that will increase the user's strength and longevity with his co-worker and the works for the government similar to the Hulk's Gamma Radiation which transformed him into the giant ugly purple-skinned slug named Bulk.
 * 4) Barely feels like a superhero film and feels looks like a parody that tries to be a comedy.
 * 5) The "special effects" are stock graphics that you can find on the internet. Especially given when most of the animated stuff is basically similar to the 3D gifs from the Windows XP era.
 * 6) *In the scene where Hank is in the car talking to Hannah, the background looks like Kiddieland for some reason.
 * 7) Terrible acting, not helped by the fact that the entire movie was filmed on a green screen; as a result, when they are supposed to be running, they look like they are walking or jogging instead.
 * 8) The design for the Bulk looks like cheap 3d version of Marvel Comics' Thanos and a slugged up Barney.
 * 9) The characters and villins are cliche and forgettable.
 * 10) When Hank and Hannah are at the carnival, she points out a rollercoaster loudly to Hank, as if she didn't know they were at a carnival.
 * 11) Multiple plot holes.
 * 12) The background is horrible and something like most low budget movies or low budget opera soap in most countries, or worse than most cd game background. For example, the Bulk runs over to the car and it jumps as it crushes Lisa, in which the car is smaller and kinda comes straight from some children's toy car, while a stuntman in Bulk makeup and a purple painted Hulk toy glove hand is used.
 * 13) Absolutely abysmal cinematography. There's even a part where the dialogue ends up low quality at one point, where during dialogue the second life suddenly becomes low-quality. Hunter even described the distorted "You don't wanna do that." line as if they were moving from the bedroom to the bathroom while they were recording mid-scene.
 * 14) The chase scene near the end makes no sense whatsoever; Bulk is chased by aliens, goblins and a flying pug superhero (presumably the villain's pet) as he runs through obvious cartoony environments passing by Robin Hood, Zeus and a gecko on a laptop before getting nuked along with a Luigi look-alike, and the chase ends there. Strangely enough, Bulk kinda looks like a fat version of Thanos when he was running.
 * 15) They actually put a negative review on the DVD cover, as you can see on this page. No joke. (Though it's ironically accurate, according to Pointer #11)
 * 16) Painfully awful writing that is very cartoonish and nonsensical.
 * 17) The entire movie (Including the aforementioned CGI) is cringe worthy.
 * 18) Like Tommy Wiseau's so-bad, it's good cult film, The Room, none of the characters get any character development.
 * 19) The opening title of the movie and the credits literally use Comic Sans, which isn't really a font that fits well with a superhero movie.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Director Lewis Schonenbrun gave a thank you message and a custom made Bulk bust to the critic, I Hate Everything, claiming that he "welcomes all comments, good and bad!", which proves he can actually handle criticism.
 * 2) The cover artwork is pretty good, and does look much better than the actual film.
 * 3) There are some unintentionally hilarious lines in this movie, such as "Well, it ain't Barney the purple dinosaur!" and the most famous one, "I hate dust!".
 * 4) Despite Pointer #9, the film (especially the CGI scenes, like the two chase scenes) is so bad, it's hilarious.
 * 5) The opening font being in Comic Sans is also so bad, it's funny.
 * 6) As this movie is most likely a parody, it was probably made as a joke.

Trivia

 * The line "I hate dust" became a meme.

Reception

 * This film has a score of 1.7/10 on IMDb.
 * It has no critic rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with not enough reviews to generate a score, but it has an audience rating of 49%.
