No. I actually never have. I did say "Did I pay real money for that?" after watching Epic Movie, followed by "Holy crap I think I did."
"This movie's awful...I'm outta here!"

I've never walked out of a movie but I've seen countless movies where at the end I'd wished I had.
No, see, I'm smart, and I know what movie I'm watching before I go to watch it, and I know what I do and do not like, so I'm usually not horribly dissapointed when it comes to movies.
what I want to know: who actually sits goes to see the "movie" movies in theaters.(i.e. epic movie, date movie, basically movie spoof movies) how could they possibly be getting enough money to make more...oh I forgot they don't have to hire writers or competent directors. so the budget can be NEXT TO FUCKING NOTHING!
Best "Worst Movie" Experience - The Core
My friends and I go to see The Core and smuggle in three bottles of liquor to ease the pain (it wasn't enough.) Our plan is to make fun of the movie a la Mystery Science Theater 3000. The Wednesday after it opens we go to see it and there are only three other people in the theater. We let them know we don't plan on being quiet and if they like we'll give them their money back for their tickets (3 matinee tickets split 7 ways isn't that painful.) Not only do they not accept our offer, they found me in the lobby after the movie and thanked me and my friends profusely for making the movie bearable.

I'm bisexual myself, but it wasn't necessary to supply that information just to prove my point. I'm far from offended by homosexuality on the "big screen," even if it was involving a man I'd wanted to make love with since "A Knight's Tale," lolLeodiensian said:
I had rented "Brokeback Mountain", and "Eragon" as well (I was tempted by dragons- and was promptly let down). I have yet to walk out of a theatre because I won't pay that much money for a wasted evening. I make sure the movie is going to be good before I pay to see it. Otherwise, I rent later or mooch off of a friend who works at the theatre to get in for free.
Someone mentioned a D&D movie... with Jeremy Irons? I believe you're thinking of "Eragon." I've seen most of the D&D movies (even the bad SciFi Channel ones) and none of them have been high-enough budget to afford Jeremy Irons. I suppose I could be missing one somewhere, but I'm rather sure you just saw a dragon and assumed D&D.
Oh, and to whomever said that the directors of the "Epic Movie," etc needed to die: as an American, I disowned the Wayans Brothers long ago. Weren't they also responsible for "White Chicks"? I'd check myself, but I'm on my friend's iMac at the moment (the original iMac- with the colored backing on its monstrous monitor (yes, they still exist, apparently)) and I'm afraid I'll crash the thing if I open a new window.
First film which I ever walked out on was Volcaneo - Doctor: "Take him over there and keep him warm!" (Don't want to state the obvious, however your next to lava.)
Second was Racing Stripes - "My god! That Zebra is going to win a race against professionally trained race horses! What a twist!"
I haven't walked out on any others to date. But I a friend is still on at me to see Step Up 2 for a second time. It was bad enough once.

You take that back immediately. Had Heath Ledger still been alive he would've won the Oscar.shatnershaman said:
I knew it was a musical, I just thought it would be more morbid, that little S**t would get in a pie, that stupid romantic boy would grow a goddamned brain, and Mr. Todd would actually get his revenge rather then fluffing about like other great killers in History,(Hamlet, Altair, MacDuff).Vortigar said:
I had prior knowledge of the stories about Sweeney Todd, mostly from the classic Penny Dreadfuls, but Tim Burton can stop being such pretentious prick about his "Dark and Quirky" films.
I did a unit of film studies ages ago, so I can hammer on films like a critic and like someone with a life and a job.
He WILL win an Oscar. They haven't held them yet, but there's been talk of him getting one regardless.Sustenance said:
The superhero movies have at least been very good. "Iron Man" was the best I had seen until "The Dark Knight," and the new Incredible Hulk film was fantastic as well.
EDIT:
And as much as I did enjoy Sweeney Todd (Bonham-Carter couldn't hold a candle to Angela Lansbury, though), I do wish Johnny Depp would start acting and Tim Burton would quit fulfilling expectations. Both need to change some things in their careers or they'll fall into a rut. I love the stuff they've done, but it's only a matter of time before they miss out on golden opportunities because it "isn't their genre". Depp hasn't had a character since "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," they've all been just him- no vocal or physical changes whatsoever. We even enjoy seeing the little "Depp-isms" he does; i.e, the Captain Jack "oh, you've slightly surprised me" look. Burton does so much with dark and gloomy that we literally can't see him doing anything else now, and it's terrible for a director not to think outside of the box he's created for himself.
I rarely walk out the cinema... I like watching films no matter how bad, that said there are a few I walked out or demanded a refund afterwards....
Hitman: An insult to me, I have always loved the Hitman games but the film was too....*I'll remember the word soon* Walked out 50 minutes later (I wanted to give it a chance)
AvP 2: Went to this thinking it couldn't be any worse than the Paul WS Anderson version WRONG! Walked out 30 minutes later
Fred Claus: Went with a massive group of friends, I wanted to go see American Ganster but no we had to sit and watch that tripe, walked out after 25ish minutes...
Spiderman 3 and Fantastic 4 2: Just couldn't stand it any longer so I pissed off

Was rather fond of it at the time, and yus, Jeremy Irons is there and awesome :3
Fell asleep watching Chicken Run, woke up half way near the end and walked out ^^'
that leech has been at the top of IMDB's top movie list for way to long.thebobmaster said:
Critic: What're they saying, they mumble the entire movie!
Critic 2: It's probably really dramatic though!
Critic three: What if everyone else gets it and we dont?
Critic: we'll play it safe. 5 out of 5.
I almost walked out of Dark Knight...
Seriously...
If you believe that I have some land in Florida I'll sell you.
That movie fraking rocked, in my top 10 favorites of all time. Up there with Shawshank Redemption, Boondock Saints, The Matrix, Tombstone, and Sin City.
As to the whole chick-flick thing. The wife and I have a little arangement. I don't go to then, she can go with a girlfriend. Likewise, I love horror, and she doesn't go with me.
A movie I almost walked out on, but didn't cause I paid for it... Spiderman 3. By far one of the worst movies ever made. I think retarded monkeys could have come up with a better script.

I think now he's gotten a lot like a particular Australian writer called Tim Winton.BlazeTheVampire said:
After being hailed by critics and the unwashed as a genius for several works, they suddenly assume that anything else that arrogantly drops out of their poo-stained pretentious asshole that doubles as a mouth, will be solid platinum.
I guess another bad film in existence is Doom. If you removed the title and the reference to the BFG 9000 nobody would've made it past the first 30 minutes.
Actually come to think of it any film where Dwayne Johnson, or Vin Diesel or any other example of cinema manliness pretend to be other than manly barbarians butchering legion after legion of Mook spam, sucks more than the ET game.
I still hold that the exception is Doom...
