I have seen few movies as funny as this is. Obviously, humor wasn't its intent, and since I laugh at it because it's really a very horrid film I give it a 1/10. But it really is just so perfectly bad...
The monster is the first thing one will notice, and it really never gets old how $#*tty the monster looks. The movie makes the classic mistake of showing the monster in the first scene, destroying any potential suspense, but I guess it's okay since the monster fails at being scary anyway. In fact, the Doomtrooper is basically like what the Incredible Hulk would look like if he were blue, wore a helmet and was rendered in 32-bit polygon-o-vision. (No really, the animation on the monster is miserably pathetic. You have no idea until you've seen the movie.) The other thing I find interesting is how an SS man can go into a radiation chamber, or whatever, and come out as a big blue monster that has somehow grown a large energy gun.
The acting of the soldiers is a new level of awful(with a few exceptions) and is exacerbated by the indescribable accents all the characters have. One character seems to be going for a Brooklyn accent but it seems to sound different every time he speaks. And he never actually makes it sound like anything. There's also some joke involving solving problems with proper applications of explosives; ironically, the only thing in the movie meant to be funny is the only thing that really really isn't. (It becomes very annoying.) The fights between the men and the monster are, not surprisingly, quite amusing in how completely illogical they are. The soldiers fire endless streams of bullets at it but it never takes so much as a scratch. They shoot it with a tank cannon at point-blank and it just gets right back up, once again without any injury. One man, seeming to miss the point, proceeds to run up and punch the monster, which interestingly enough manages to cause it to lose its balance but (surprise!) does no damage. Throughout the movie nobody seems to catch on to the futility of trying to shoot the Doomtrooper.
Fortunately, the Doomtrooper does not have the aim to really hit most of the soldiers, and even if it did the bullets fly so slow they could pretty much step out of the way anyway. The firing rate is also slow, giving the men enough time to...run up to it and punch it...Anyway, later the Germans try to take down their rogue Doomtrooper, and apparently the Doomtrooper becomes much more competent in the presence of Nazis because it manages to slay every single one of them in the span of about 10 seconds.
There are countless other scenes and recurring problems that I could bring up, but I can't be bothered to go into detail about all of them. The point is that SS Doomtrooper is one of those movies you expect to be bad and turns out to be indescribably awful. As I said, I found it hilarious, but for most people it will probably just be painful, or boring or whatever.
