I just walked out of a movie for the first time today.

[Don't taze me bro]

Never, but I really wanted to walk out of The Box - man that might just be the worst film I've ever seen, the thing was just over 2 hours long but felt like 5.

I didn't walk out of the cinema, but this was the last DVD I rented, and turned off about half way through. I wanted to see it, because I had seen the Twilight Zone version many years earlier. The story mimics the twilight zone version for the first 20 minutes, and then goes bat-turd stupid.

 

[Blue_vision]

no because i usually find out if its good or not before i go see it...or i figure out if its something i'd be interested in in the first place.

(and i didn't think Due Date was that bad;pretty average when it comes to buddy comedies)

This.

Though, I thought Due Date was actually really good. Hilarious throughout but also carrying a deeper emotional undertone through the whole thing.

5 minutes of twilight made me want to saw my limbs off.

it was on DVD and my friend got stroppy with me, because I looked glum.

I'm like "you're essentially FORCING me to watch this shit, won't let me go off and watch TV in the other room, then you're getting the face on with ME for looking like I don't want to be there?"

grr, if I could've walked I would've.

I've walked out of one movie before, The Informant. But that's only the second worst movie I've seen in theatres.

The worst was The American, but we sat through that one. I think it's more because we didn't have anywhere else to be after that one. But oh my god was I pissed off after that movie.

i was watching six gun on dvd and i had to shut it off after i made comments like "so our hero is the drunk old man who hates fun?", "i feel bad, he's going to die and i still don't know his name." and "I think i'm supposed to care he's dieing but i really don't."

I have never walked out of a movie in my life, if I payed for it, I'll stick with it.

This has lead to some painful times, true, but at least although I suffer the onset of terrible movies from time to time I at least get to know I stayed to the end and retained my honor.

That said, I once rented a DVD that was supposedly a 'comedy' called 'A dirty Shame' and well.... the jokes were terrible, the plot was non existent and the acting was sub par and I just wanted to die many times watching it.
Finally, when I could take no more, I stood up, ejected the thing from my Xbox, shouted abuse at it for a while and then shoved it into my rental bag and didn't look at it for the rest of the week.

I went to see Splice after Bob gave it a good review, and I had to walk out on it, for I found it much too disturbing and gross. I almost walked out on the Surrogates for being a hippy loving whine-fest, but I suffered through that one. I guess it takes physical nausea to get me to walk out on a film.

Disaster Movie. Garbage. Simply garbage.

 

[Dimensional Vortex]

Not in the theater, but I've shut off my DVD player and walked out of the room on Avatar and Meet the Spartans respectively.

I'm not trying to be offensive but, what was wrong with those movies?

Also I never really walked out nor felt the urge to do, I guess when I go to watch a movie it is because I have selected it carefully. Although at home one time I wanted to leave the room while the movie "Alone in the Dark" was on.

PS Did Alone in the Dark really need a sequel?

Not sure about the OP but for me, Avatar had an unimpressive, very basic story and was way overhyped simply because it was revolutionizing 3D, which apparently made it the second coming of Jesus. It was an okay movie, hardly a good one.

Meet the Spartans I didn't even see because I couldn't even stand the commercials. All movies of that type try so hard to be funny, but never are.

I went to see Godzilla 2000 when I was 14. It's the only movie I ever walked out of. They tried to revive a classic (that had already been redone) and failed.

 

[RonstahMonstah]

I had to leave during the first half-hour of Benchwarmers. My body would have destroyed itself otherwise

 

[scorptatious]

I walked out of The Lion King...

WAIT WAIT WAIT! Before you start flaming me, let me explain.

I was around 3 or 4 when it first came out, my parents took me and my brother to see it in theaters. We came during the previews however and it was already dark inside. My mom told me that I would refuse to go in there. Probably because I was afraid of the dark back than. So as a result, we couldn't see it that day.

When it actually came to video I watched it. And to this day, it is still one of, if not my most, favorite movies of all time.

There was also this one movie my mom and I watched on DVD. I can't remember what it was called, but it became too scary for us to watch all the way through. There was this scene in which this guy came in and brutally murdered this girl's family. At the end of it, when the girl came out from hiding and approached her mother, who's throat was slit. She walked slowly towards her for a few seconds, and than the mother suddenly gasped for air. At that point my mom shut the movie off and both went to bed freaked out by what we just saw.

I've never walked out of a movie as I've rarely been the one footing the bill. However, had it been my money, I would have walked out of the following:

Transformers 2*
Up
Hoodwinked
Toy Story 3
Zombieland
Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World

...There's definitely more, but I can't think of them at the moment. Needless to say, I've all but sworn off American-made animation.


* I did pay for that one; problem is, my friend was my ride home

Wow, what is wrong with those movies? Transformers 2, I will give you that one and I don't know what Hoodwinked is, but from what I have heard, Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World, Toy Story 3 and Zombieland have all been at least decent if not better. Also I liked the movie up when I watched it with my family, nothing better than a bitter old man yelling at a cute fat kid *chuckles*

 

[Assassin Xaero]

Walked out because it was horrible? No. I have left because I got sick before...

 

[Snotnarok]

I walked out of (my living room) from that new Indiana Jones movie, awful doesn't describe it.

Lol they said Avatar was going to revolutionize third dimensional theater? Honestly the most clever use of the 3D was when the guy turns around slowly while holding a gun and you get a face full of eye penetrating gun, they should have better designed avatar for the 3D in my opinion. Okay I can understand meet the Spartans as those kind of movies aren't everyones cup of tea, but you said yourself Avatar was okay, if it was okay why didn't you continue viewing it?

I really should have walked out of Bruno, however, I was with a friend who really wanted to see it, so I had an out-of-body experience by walking out of my consciousness instead.

Also, during Bangkok Dangerous (with Nick Cage) I walked out of the theater, down to the bar (theater is in a mall, located next to the pub) had a double shot of whiskey cased with a pint of lager, went BACK in the theater and passed out. Yes, it was neccessary to get my statement through by doing that.

Actions speak louder than words, if you really think you should walk out on a movie, by all mean, get the fuck out. Perhaps even sneak into a better one.
