The only movie I ever walked out of was The Goods. The jokes were so ridiculously dirty, and consequently ridiculously bad as well as stupid, that the movie stopped working like a movie and started working like a drill trying to open a hole up through my brain.
aka: the horrible-ness of the movie started literally hurting my head about half an hour in so I saved myself some pain and humiliation and left. Luckily I snuck into it after Inglorious Basterds so I didn't really pay for it so I didn't feel guilty or like I lost cash on it. I did however lose half an hour.

If you paid the money, went in and left partway through, you still paid. Lots of people hated that movie but even the people who hated it had to go and pay to see it, the amount of hype meant that it was bound to make that much.Oldmanwillow said:
I'd never walk about because I rarely have anything better to do, so I'd rather just see a film through to the end. Besides I only go and see something if I think it'll be great/looks interesting. I can't remember ever hating a film I saw at the theater.
My ex-girlfriend took me to see Twilight (i outright dislike it anyway but i was trying to be nice) I gave up at the part where they were in the forest part and Edward opened his shirt and sparkled like he just fell into a glitter-glue factory. Sorry i'm not one of those "hur hur twilight sucks!" people but it was sooooo cringe-worthy.

I try not to go to films I don't want to see, but sometimes people drag me. In the middle of Shanghai Noon I started getting repeated calls from an obnoxious person (the phone was on vibrate, chill). I figured what the hell, went outside, and took the call. After, I discovered all the front of house theater staff had left for the night, and I was locked out. I happily sat there, freed of a movie I'd been despising.
Does that count?

I walked out of Rollbounce if that counts. The story was just silly to me and I just didn't like it.
I personally didn't walk out of it, but I was tempted to when I saw Watchman. I really didn't see where all the praise was going toward and the only thing keeping me in my seat was Rosarch.

I really try not to walk out of movies for the simple reason that I payed money to see it but I just couldn't sit through Ponyo. I wanted to like it, I really did, but the story was just too stupid and nonexistant and ponyo got on my nerves. Not to mention the visuals weren't that great not that graphics alone entertain me anyway. Really can't understand why everyone seems to give it such high scores on rotten tomato.
I guess I also left the movie Wanted but that was because I passed out from the new meds I was taking and my dad just carried me out. I kinda wish I saw the other people's reaction in the theater since I went out pretty hard onto the ladies chair in front of me.

Yes, a few times. Typically, it's for one of the following reasons:
1) I feel sick, or someone who I'm with is. No sense puking in my popcorn, eh? It sucks, but it has happened.
2) Technical glitch. I've left because of lack of sound, fuzzy screen, and a projector that ran 50% too slow (I'm guessing 12/fps, which is noticable). I usually make alot of noise, and get the next show free.
3) Truely bad movie. This has only happened once, and honestly I don't remember the movie, it was that bad.
Oh, and since we're on the topic, and it's funny as hell, my friends were forced to leave a theater once. Nothing that they did, either. It was during Sherlock Holmes, and (vague spoiler!) during one scene, the main characters count down from 3. "3...2...1..." and then the fire alarm went off, the film immediately stops, and everyone is rushed out of the theater. Apparently, some numbnuts drove his pickup into the ticket counter.

My thoughts exactly, I pay good money to go see a film and even if, it sucks so much, that I want to dip my eyes in bleach. I'll see it through to the end.Armored Prayer said:
I fell asleep about the time they got to sunken New York. I guess I was spared that pain.Casual Shinji said:
Just to take a piss and get a refil. otherwise, I paid money to watch the damn thing, I'm gonna finish it!
I walked out of Kingdom of Heaven and that god awful remake of Fun With Dick And Jane.
Why did I even think those movies would be remotely good?
