Ever WALK OUT on a crappy movie? (and why?)

[AnthonyO'Brien]

I haven't, but films like Warlock : the armageddon and Twilight sure tested me. WTA was boring and Twilight was blasphemy to someone who grew up with Salem's lot, Fright night, Lost boys, Near dark, Dusk til dawn etc. The friggin vampire baseball match almost made me wanna walk out BUT I work in a high school library and I wanted to understand what the fuss was about...

I saw VERY BAD THINGS years ago. A few people walked out when the stripper was killed and the boys made plans to dismember her. I enjoyed this dark comedy, especially the ending but I guess it was promoted too much like a Something about Mary type comedy...

and YOU?

I sure did:

Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen. Seriously, Michael Bay tries the audiences with his lame humor and storytelling and it's sad how he raped this movie. I tried to give some things about this movie a pass, but then came to the point in which I had to leave it was so unbearable.

Mandy. I heard so many things about this movie that I decided to see for myself. But the movie stated to get a tad confusing and started to drag in which I started to get inpatient to learn what the point was to certain scenes. I wasn't feeling it and I walked.

The Undead. It's an Australian indy zombie movie in which I didn't know it was gonna be a cheesy comedy until I went to see it. It was pretty much nods to Return Of The Living Dead and Night Of The Creeps. They movie was just too trifling and I really didn't stay long for this movie.

Spider-Man 3 was a movie I wished I walked out of, though.

I've never walked out of a movie, but I was tempted to on two occasions: Batman & Robin, which was excruciating in its awfulness, and The Bourne Supremacy, which wasn't a bad film per se, but as a big fan of The Bourne Identity I just hated pretty much all of the creative decisions and consequently hated the film as a whole.

I walked out of Sanctum (2009). I've deleted most of what I experienced. I'm one of the few who loved Avatar so i just went into this because of James Cameron's named attached to it. I remember walking out of the cinema heaving after watching a scene of someone being intentionally scalped. I don't even have the full details

Yep Spider-Man 3 was awful all the freaking singing was unbearable. God! did I want MJ dead ( the torture was too much so I left.)

[DanMad1977]

I would never walk out, i paid for it, so i will stay. But, if it gets unbearable i take a nap, so i use my time for it. It just happend twice. With Ice Age 3 (boring as hell) and Kondom des Grauens (a german movie, i think you can translate it with Condom of Dread!!! Dont ask...)

Speed 2 I think was the first one I left early on, but that was because the cinematography style made my wife motion sick. I never felt like I missed anything though and have never watched the rest of the show.

Wonder Woman I walked out of right after No Man's Land. Just wasn't holding my interest. Watched the end on streaming and was sorry I did, since the first half was the better half.

Spider-verse I wanted to leave early, but for some reason struggled through it. I didn't love the story - multiverse things are not my personal taste for Spider-man, and even given that Kingpin was the worst choice you could make for the villain of that sort of story. Everything seemed out of place, and it suffered from 20 minute cartoon superhero syndrome, where the fighting takes over the whole movie at the expense of trying to fit a story into 15% of the film time.

Jessica Jones season 1 I struggled through, growing more and more restless with each show. Finally realized I hated it and was getting no enjoyment out of it so why the hell am I forcing myself to sit through it? Turned the TV off and never returned to it. I have never seen the last 30 minutes of the series, and never plan to.

I figure if I pay for something and I'm not enjoying it, I'm using my money in the worst possible way by not leaving and doing something I enjoy. When all is said and done, the theater is taking money for my time, not the movie, and I receive no value experiencing something I don't like all the way to the end, especially if I can do something else instead

When I was a kid and I theaterer jumped (don't follow my example, kids at home.... pay for your movies), I'd leave a movie and try to jump to a better one if I wasn't enjoying it. It was a dollar threater and there were a bunch playing at the same time, with a staff that didn't even give a dam so I'd just wander around in and out until I found something I liked.

But if I actually paid for a movie, I'm sitting through it no matter what. Movies aren't cheap now.

Once or twice I have falled asleep at movies I was absolutely bored with.

Yeah, I don't get the impulse to tough it out because you paid for it. Money's already wasted, now you're just wasting your time on top of that.

That said, I've never walked out of a movie. Came close with Batman and Robin though.

Not as an adult. But as a kid my Grandma took me to see Austin Powers without knowing what it was about. After about 5mins she dragged me out and said that was not what she expected lol.

Also Mu favorite Giant i think it's called with Billy Crystal. My grandma took me to see it when I was a kid. It was so boring my cousin started crying and I fell asleep. My grandma again walked us out half way through the movie.


But yea I've never walked out of a movie because how bad it was. If I pay for something I gonna finish it.

[Starter Set]

I felt asleep a couple of times but never walked out no.

I pay, i stay damn it.

I've only seen three movies alone, of which I walked out of Coyote Ugly and that made it a double burn. I don't have an excuse other than I thought it would be way more racy than it was and it was a matinee. Tyra was HOT as hell at the time but this was before she found her goofy-assed lane really. I was thinking more Skinimax level of bar dancing and it, was, not. John Goodman smacking on fried chicken almost made me ill. It was super dull, not hot and I deserved to get beat out of that money.

For sho. I don't even think we still have dollar shows anymore. They were GREAT for seeing a movie on a re-pass though, sound an picture quality matched the admission price but when you're a kid you're really not trippin'. Back when, a couple close homeboys and I made a special trip to the mall- yes this was that far back and the plan was to go see Leprechaun and hoped we wouldn't get carded. Yea, who knew this was the first of a usually straight to video franchise, it sucked, hadn't seen it since. We might not have even gotten to the end and were kinda pissed but not ready to leave and Army of Darkness was playing next door and we sneaked into that show. It was the first time ever being aware of Ash and the Evil Dead trilogy and it blew my mind. I usually didn't rock with more or less demonic fare back then but I loved that movie. The skeleton march was all Harryhausen and I ate it up, funny but no too over the top (not like the preceding movies in the trilogy). Bought it on VHS then went back and bought a widescreen VHS Evil Dead II, I probably still have it somewhere.

Heh. My Grandma took all of us to see Spaceballs and yea we ended up leaving not long into it. There was like 6 of us and I was the oldest but the jokes flew over my head but Grandma knew what was being said and I guess she didn't want us repeating Mel Brooks lines.
