Even when taking into account that it's low-budget and taking it for what it is(which is not to take it seriously), that did not stop The Amazing Bulk from being an abomination and a truly embarrassing one at that, one where it is so amateurishly done that it would be impossible to get any novelty value.
The Amazing Bulk has to be down there with the cheapest-looking movies ever, with the (over)use of green screen looking so painfully fake. It's drably shot and looks like it was edited on a near-broken bacon-slicer(especially in the "running", in speech marks but I am not sure what it was, scenes), while the cartoony special effects look a minimum of 25 years out of date. The Monster not only looks terrible(an external review likened it to the "love child of Tor and Barney the Dinosaur" and that is a perfect summation) but is not threatening or entertaining in the slightest, it barely does anything even. The music is over-bearing and more often than not doesn't fit at all and often an excuse to show how many pre-existing tunes you can find in one movie, which are nearly all out-of-place.
It's an incredibly badly written movie too and that's being kind. The dialogue is so childish and awkward that it'd make the toes curl, if a student submitted this script as a writing assignment they would fail, and not narrowly, we're talking catastrophically. The story is stupid, unoriginal and dull and nothing else with a good number of random and irrelevant scenes, there is nothing thrilling, suspenseful or entertaining here(any fun anyone might get out of the movie would be unintentional). The stereotypical characters are obnoxious and one-note with very little personality injected in them. There is a distinct lack of effort and care in the direction and as for the awfulness of the acting, where to begin? It's almost non-existent, mannequins show more emotion and that is not a joke. With exception of the incongruously and annoyingly over-the-top General who belongs somewhere else altogether.
Overall, an abomination in every area with nothing even halfway decent about it. 0/10 Bethany Cox
