I'm ashamed to admit i saw house of the dead at the movies. got there 15mins late, stayed for 1/2 an hr then walked out of it. that was the only movie that i actually walked out of but i atleast made it up by sneaking into a better movie, even if it was at the end.

This one is the worst/best experience I've ever had in a cinema, because I love to tell this story to people who've never heard it:

My cousin and her then-boyfriend had gotten tickets to a midnight showing of Superman Returns, which we were excited about seeing. There were six tickets in all, and they invited a friend of theirs, while I invited a friend of mine and his wife. All well and good, right? Well, there was this 60-some-year old asshole that sat in the row behind us, and kept talking through the whole damn movie. Not even making snide, funny comments or anything, just describing the scenes of the movie as they're happening as if he were some John Madden of film-watching. The entire time, my cousin and her boyfriend were rightfully annoyed at him, and we kept unsubtly trying to get him to shut up.

At the end of the movie, my friend turns around and says, "Excuse me, sir, is there anyone in your group that is blind?" The old guy looks indignantly at him and goes, "No, what's it to ya," at which my friend berates him about talking through the whole movie, much to this guy's irritation. He and his presumably adult son then proceed to threaten to kick the shit out of us, much to the amusement of my friend and I (the only time anyone on our side said anything remotely hateful is when the son threatens to hit my cousin, to which I told him the next time he thinks about going to a theater, he should jump in front of a train instead and do everyone else a favor) By the time we are able to leave, the old guy is hovering near my friend, ridiculously puffing up his chest and growling "Just touch me, I dare ya! Just touch me, I dare ya."

My friend turns around, holds out his right hand and without missing a beat goes "I wanna shake your hand!" (there's also some part about how the old guy tells us we made our point so why don't we shut up, which would make sense if his behavior was IN ANY WAY DEFENSIBLE, and that he did not apologize one bit for it).

Afterwards, while the father-son duo (and the rest of their moron brood) storm out in a huff, having had their evening ruined by our perfectly understandable reaction to their dickery, a bunch of other people came up to my friend and thanked him for telling the guy off, and we all had a laugh about it afterwards.

So, while we had to endure some massive dickery (and all for a completely average movie, to boot), I also look on that moment pretty fondly for all the humor I got from it (favorite old guy quote is the scene where Superman's in the hospital, and a nurse comes to check up on him, only to find an empty bed: "He's GONE!")

By far, my worst experience is the time I went to see LOTR: The Two Towers. About 1/3 of the way through the movie the speakers blew out, and nobody ever friggin' noticed.
Two hours of incomprehensibly muffled dialogue later, I demanded a free ticket to go see it again with sound this time.

The Last Song was pretty bad. But not the worst...I'd say the most horrible sludge I sat through was You Don't Mess With the Zohan. Maybe it's only funny to guys, but still....yeeeeech.

It was The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen for me. The movie would have been bad enough by itself; however, I had read the graphic novel not long before my Dad and I went to the movies and I spent the entire drive to the theater hyping him on how great the film might be...as long as they followed the book. I proceeded to spend the next two hours with a sinking feeling building in my stomach as I watched the movie tear out page after page of what made the book great in the first place and replace them with characters and events that I didn't give a shit about. My Dad still teases me about this movie.

A History of Violence was another huge disappointment, especially since the movie is the often held up as one of the best films of the last decade and David Cronenberg has made some extremely unique, interesting movies (Dead Ringers, Videodrome, Naked Lunch, The Dead Zone, The Fly, etc.). I kept looking for what was supposed to be special about it, for some sort of insight that it was having about the motivations of its characters, but every revelation that emerges seems blindingly obvious. Maybe I just missed the boat?

Also: Bless the Child. I can't really call this a disaster, though, because I just started laughing about 20 minutes in and I ended having a pretty decent time (although I ended up annoying most of the group of friends with me in the process).

I found that The Zodiac would have been a great movie if they actually tied up all the loose ends, like, for instance, who the killer was! God damn it! All that buildup for nothing!!!
Well in real life, they never found out exactly WHO the Zodiac killer WAS> They're still considered "At Large."

For a better list, here ya go!

I would have to say twilight. It was just plain terrible and the drama (which I think was over half the point) sucked. Once it got into the action, it was meh, but not great. Glad I slept till then. It was a good hour long nap of a beginning.

One of the scenes that I think made Zodiac great was when the two cops walk out of the theater showing Dirty Harry. It was such a cool way to show just how difficult an investigation can be in real life compared to how easy it was for Clint Eastwood to gun down Scorpio (the stand-in for the Zodiac Killer).

Law Abiding Citizen: This was actually building up to one of the best movies I had seen in a while, and then *BAM* the ending positively rapes the hope of that. After the brilliant systematic assault against the system,
Gerald Butler gets screwed over and Jamie Fox is treated like a bloody hero who gets a nice happy life, despite being a complete asshole the entire film. What makes him so much better? They kill off Butler in the end, but Fox doesn't even get a scratch?
I hate you, Law Abiding Citizen, you soul-sucking revenge-flick-failure.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince: First off, I actually like the Harry Potter books and grew up on them. I also liked the first four films. Would I dress up or go to midnight premieres? Hell no, but I enjoy the whole Harry Potter thing. But then the new director (or someone, I forget who specifically) and bloody well destroyed these last two movies. I actually saw HBP twice, the first time because it dragged on so bad in a really crappy theater. The second attempt, we actually finished the damn thing. And boy, what a load of crock.

Who. The. F#%* decided that instead of exploring the backgrounds of the primary characters, filling in the gaping holes, and fight scenes that were supposed to happen, we get to watch a Harry Potter-Twilight collaboration centered on a bunch of whiny, neurotic pricks trying to get their wands waxed.

CLASH OF THE FCKING TITANS!! I spent the whole time going "don't worry it'll be better then the kraken shows, just you wait, an epic battle will unfold and it'll be all worth it!" then kraken shows up and dies 5 secs later, no fight just showed up and died and a lil piece of my soul went along with it after watching the entire movie. watching the movie trailers was basically the whole freak'n movie w/o the useless talking!!
I know, it just kept digging itself into a ditch. It was the sorriest excuse for "Greek mythology" considering most of the time is spent on giant, bloody scorpions and a sea monster originally from the Norse. And why in the hell would Hades have anything to do with a sea monster instead of Poseidon, the GOD OF THE SEA?!?

- Any of the ___________ Movie's. I find the Wayans ones inappropriate and the Friedberg/Seltzer ones are some of the worst movies I've ever seen. Disaster Movie is the only movie vie ever willingly walked out on.

- The Zodiac. The movie was decent. And I know they never really dis find the killer. But come on. I remember being home and seeing this movie that my friend (a hardcore movie buff) had raved about. 3 long hours later they finally catch the guy, but en in the next scene it flashes forward and it's some guy being brought into some room by some guys and basically says "that isn't the guy" and it ends

- A History Of Violence. Good movie. I really like Vigo Mortenson. But I just don't get it. It seems so... Basic in its point. When I consider "great movies" they need to have a message. And AHOV's message seems to be "don't mess with Vigo".

- Most comedy movies. I hate it when Comedy movies turn into heartwarmers or dramas in the last part. I paid $12 for a comedy movie, not a drama.

I went to see Speed Racer since my dad watched it when he was a kid. Even I know that movie was bad. Dragon Ball: Evolution was terrible too.

The Last Airbender was pretty much putrid. Couldn't see what the hell was going on, and the movie sucked in addition.
