Title: Ever Walk Out of A Movie?
Post by: Scott on May 22, 2003, 11:00 AM
I've come close:

Bridges of Madison County my ex-girly wanted to go see this, she hated it too so I was like why are we here

Dracula  The plot made no sense and it was as scary as Scooby Doo and the Harlem Globetrotters. I thought this was the worst movie of all time until I saw...

Batman and Robin  The only reason me and wifey didn't leave was beacuse I was laughing so hard at how bad everything was...I felt bad for Geroge Clooney cause I think he is a good actor.  I think we went to the buck theater with awesome corn so we stayed and had a hoot

I only walked out of The Blair Witch Project. Not only was it a stupid movie I was getting motion sickness from the point of view camera movements.

There was only one movie I have ever walked out on. It was Thin Red Line with Sean Penn & Nick Nolte. I like war flicks but this was the most excruciating movie I have been to & I could not stand it anymore.
When I'm watching movie & look at my watch, then theres a problem with the flick.

I cam close to walking out of Matrix: Reloaded. But, me not being on to waste money, I stuck around so I could form an even worse opinion of said flick.

The only movie I've ever walked out on was "Little Shop of Horrors" with Rick Moranis and Steve Martin.  I saw it when it came out in 1986 and walked out of the theater after 20 minutes.  I thought it sucked (at the time).  I've seen it recently and it's just an "OK" movie.  It's still not one that I really like, but if I had to see it again I probably wouldn't walk out... I just wouldn't go see it.

I walked out on XXX. My friend and I went in, sat down, and as soon as they flashed that cheesy, and very hackneyed XXX up on the screen, with that feel only reminiscent of WWF Royal Rumble, my friend and I got up and walked out. Thats all the further we got into the movie. This, coming from someone who sat through "The Mexican". God have mercy on me......

I haven't seen it yet, but that's amazing you walked out immediately after seeing "XXX" up on the screen.  It must have really been bad then.
Title: Re: Ever Walk Out of A Movie?

The way the flashed the XXX up on the screen just seemed like a culmination of every bad action movie, wrestling event and sporting event ever to hit the screen. It almost seemed like a parody of itself.

That, and the sound was deafening, enough to bring tears to your eyes

I know for a fact that a helluva lot of people got up and walked out of Meet Joe Black!   ;D

If you recall, that's the movie that the original Phantom Menace trailer was exclusively attached to the beginning of (along with Water Boy too, I think).  Tons of people paid $8 just to go watch a trailer - the first real new Star Wars footage in years!  Pretty funny!   :P  I guess this doesn't really count though, since most people actually left before the movie really started...

The wife and I actually stayed, and watched the whole movie since she's a little hot for that damned Brad Pitt fella...   :-\

I almost walked out of Wing Commander.   I mainly went to the film to see the trailer for Ep1.  I had no intention of walking out of Wing Commander initially.  But I just thought this movie was HORRIBLE!!!   In my opinion anyway.  

When I was a kid my parents dragged me to Out of Africa.  I actually wanted to walk out of that theatre.  I could not since I was under driving age and in another town and with the parents.  I ended up sleeping through parts of it.  I was awakened by the cries of the females in the audience when Robert Redford's character kicks the bucket in the film.  But it was a good sign since the film was almost over :)

I haven't walked out of any movies which I can recall since I don't really want to waste my money by paying for a movie then walking out.  For the most part I usually go to movies which I can stand by looking at the trailers or listening to people talk about it.  I was going to go to see Wing Commander but didn't because of the people saying it sucked.

My brother and I walked  out  " The Warrior" (I think that was it called, the one with Antonia Bandit(sp) ). Anyway, we walked out  and snuck into " The 6th sense".
Title: Re: Ever Walk Out of A Movie?
Post by: BushiFox on June 29, 2003, 12:08 PM
Master chief: I think that was the 13th warrior.

As far as someone walking out of spiderman, I can see that.  I thought it was an OK movie AT BEST.  I was soooo dissapointed with that movie.  I hear people saying they didn't like the green goblin suit...I thought that was the best part of the movie.  Everything else sucked.  Kirstin dunst should not be allowed to ever make another movie.  Ever.  Never, ever.  Please.  Mary Jane is supposed to become a super model!  You should at least get someone that is at least close to being a super model!  (did you see the MTV movie awards parody?  I thought Sarah Michelle Gellar made 20x better mary jane.)

Anyway.  That is my short Spiderman sucks rant for the day.

As far as movie's I've walked out of...the worst movie of all time:  Event Horizon.  Egads what a terrible movie.  I kept sitting through it saying "maybe it will get good now".  No.  

If I had seen a thin red line in the theatre, I would probably walk out of tha too.  I watched it on video...zzzzzzz.

I also walked out of Saving private ryan, but, right at the end when the flag started waving.  Just, that scene where the guy gets killed by the knife...that was just...I dunno, it hit home for me I guess.  *shudder*.  I had nightmares about that for a while actually.

I think those are the only two I've walked out of.  I'm surprised no one has mentioned Moulin Rouge.  Personally, I loved the movie, but, I know at some of the theaters I went to theaters were giving people their money back with no questions asked for it.  What was funny though, there was a worker at the movie who was chatting up a couple of cute girls.  He made some crack about "good thing you guys aren't going to see moulin rouge, that movie is terrible."  The girls replied:  "Actually, we love the movie, are going to see it now for the second time."  And walked off.  I don't think I've seen a guy turn redder...Tee hee.  It is sad how much people enjoy watching other people stick their foot in their mouth.

Also, I didn't do it, but on my second time watching AOTC's in the theater, a guy fell asleep during the movie, then got up and took his wife and kid out saying it was too boring...  what the heck???

I left that stupid Mel Gibson movie where he's an army pilot that gets frozen and gets resurrected by some kids to live in their treehouse. I took a date there, and halfway through she went to the bathroom for like 10 minutes. That kind of made me mad because I didn't want to see it in the first place. So I got up and waited for her to come out, then suggested we leave if she wasn't feeling well. It worked.

I also walked out of the Shadow with Alec Baldwin because my friends and I were laughing too hard and people were getting pissed. Finally I said "What, you don't find this funny?"...then got my group to leave.

I WANTED to leave "Blade" because it was a horrible piece of garbage..... but my ride was enjoying the movie, so I went to the back row, folded up three arm rests and went to sleep. When I woke up, it was the end battle (same as the first one I had seen), and then I got to go.

I also wanted to leave the Matrix Reloaded about half way through....but there was no way any of my friends were going to leave that one....so I put up with it. Never again though.....

   I myself have never left a movie, but here are some notables of my friends:

   My friend walked out of Two Towers.  ::)  :-\

   Although I have not seen it yet, and some say it is decent, my friend walked out of Bruce Almighty.

   Hmmm . .  I remember wanting to leave How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days when I went to see it with my friend. (A girl - I should've known she'd pick that.)

   And I was also watching this one eight year old girl and took her to see Crossroads.  I wanted to walk out of that so bad but the parents were not only paying for the movie expense but they were paying me to be there.

I was dragged out of Top Gun by my mom when I was a kid.  The whole family departed during the 2nd sex scene, or was it the 3rd....maybe the 4th.  I don't know, I just remember asking why we were being forced to leave, then later being drug INTO Driving Mrs. Daisy by those same parents of mine.

How do you spell Cruel and Unusuall Punishment???

A-L-I-E-N-S-3, this is the movie I snoozed through.  This movie was terrible, the only redeeming quality to this movie was that parents brought their 6-10 year old kids for a "monster" movie that ended up swearing every 4 or 5 words.  The exodus of parents and crying children was quite entertaining.

Was the movie playing a continous loop because I only remember one sex scene - and even then it wasn't that bad.  Not even a boobie shot  ;)

The only film I've ever walked out on was one for one of my film classes - David Lynch's "Lost Highway."  I believe I screamed "This is (expletive)!" and left.  I enjoy a lot of his films, but that was a colossal mess and had no business in a university film class.

Hmmm,

Last night I was watching Tom Green's masterpiece

When Freddy Got Fingered or whatever, if I had paid for it I would have left.

I like Tom Green, really do, but I like Tom Green when he is censored a little I guess.

The whole baby delivery scene was what finally did it

Man, I hated film classes. I took a couple at UNI and couldn't believe the pretentious drivel I was forced to sit through. At one point, if I had seen another French film, I was going to rip the videocassette apart. Still can barely sit through 'Amelie'. I do just because Audrey Tautou is in the flick.

^ A week or so ago I slept through Casablanca in my Intro to Film class. Most of the films we've seen so far are interesting to one degree or another, but I've never seen Casablanca and it just doesn't appeal.

Plus I'd had like 5 hours of sleep the night before, it was 6:00 at night, it was totally dark in there, and the acoustics in the auditorium are pretty bad (cinderblock walls and designed for live theater not movie showings) so it can be tough to hear dialogue sometimes.

I just went, "**** this" and took a nap. I didn't wake until the lights came up again. I felt much better afterward and I didn't get yelled at, so I guess the teacher didn't notice. :P

I don't have to worry about it being on a test because everything in the course is take-home essays; if need be I could rent the DVD and watch it.

I've never walked out of a film that I went to see in a theater, but I've come damned close a time or two.  Most of the time this has to do with people that bring their children to films they should not be bringing them to in the first place and showing their complete inability to be a parent by letting junior run up and down the aisles screaming.  But I digress.

(I mean, seriously, what parent looks at "Sin City" and says, "Oh five year old Billy will just LOVE that!"?)

I have walked out on several videos being shown at houses of friends and neighbors.  "Wing Commander" took about five minutes, and the complete Adam Sandler ouevre is enough to make me want to throw myself in front of a moving train ("Little Nicky", I'm looking in your direction).  No other film, however, has made me roll my eyes and wish I could get the two hours I wasted on it back more than "Batman and Robin."  Even though he directed "Falling Down", I want to hunt Joel Schumacher down and force him to watch it over and over until he realizes how awful it was and promises to never do it again.  "YOU ARE NOT ECONOMICALLY VIABLE, JOEL!"

I have a feeling that I'm going to want to walk out of the "Fantastic Four" movie, if I actually go see it.  Julian McMahon and Michael Chiklis can't save this one, I fear.

I walked out of Robots, I sat through 30 minutes and didn't laugh once. I like most of  the Pixar movies and Shrek was decent, but I couldn't stand Roots I didn't laugh once and I didn't like the characters, so I left.

I would have walked out of the Hulk but I was with a whole bunch of friends for one of our friend's birthday. It's too bad we didn't say anything to each other cause they all would have left too.

Sorry, just poking fun at the typo, SLC.  That being said, DreamWorks Animation films don't appeal to me at all.  The thing that makes Pixar's films so incredibly special isn't the animation but the plots of the films.  I don't think DWA has realized that just because something is computer animated, it doesn't mean it's good, box office receipts for "Madagascar" notwithstanding.

Casablana is a "How to write a screenplay" movie. I you like movies, you won't regret watching this.

I kind of had a similar thing with Citizen Kane, but instead of sleelping through it, a couple of guys in the class and I skipped it to go skiing. I don't regreat skiing, but I do regret not watching the movie. I never saw Citizen Kane until 10 years later when my friend got it for me as a gift. IMO, it's one if the finest films ever made and I was kicking myself for going so long having never seen it.

On Topic:

I've only ever walked out of movies where other people are talking or had brought babies.

I've never walked out of a movie, but I've turned a few off while watching them at home... Napoleon Dynamite was the last one that comes to mind... I got about 45 minutes in without laughing once.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Rob. I have never understood the fascination with Napoleon Dynamite. I, however, didn't have the option to turn it off, but instead had to leave the room after 30 or so minutes. I opted to watch paint dry instead.

I've never walked out of a theater, but would have if I could during the inane Drew Barrymore vehicle Driving in Cars with Boys. Ugh, that was awful. I should've totally known what to expect (and I probably did), but my girlfriend at the time really wanted to see it, and...well, you gotta do what you gotta do.

As for rentals, I've slept through too many to count. The last ones to put me to sleep were Synecdoche, New York and The Dark Knight. At least I'm consistent, since I snoozed during Batman Begins, too.

Dodgeball.  Last comedy I've ever seen at a theatre.

I loved Dodgeball.   I'm sure that says something about me though.


My wife and I walked out of The Green Mile.  However, it was only because she had caught a flu bug and was about to toss her cookies (or was it popcorn).  We ended up having to wait until it come out on DVD to actually see the whole movie (and we enjoyed it much better than time!)

I think that was a period of time where I was just Ben Stiller(ed) out.  I do own it on DVD, but I've never found the time to try and re-watch it and probably never will.   :-\

Then why do you own it on DVD?

OCD.  I've watched maybe 900 of the 1700 movies I have on DVD.  Crazy...

I'm very similar.  I've bought dozens of movies over the years that I still haven't seen.

I walked out of Hart's War when it was in theatres... a friend and I went thinking it would be something like Saving Private Ryan, boy were we wrong.  We lasted about an hour, then left and went to a bar. 

I saw it later on TV, it's not a terrible movie but if you go into it expecting a lot of action then you might not enjoy it as much.

Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince - in IMAX/3-D.  The IMAX/3-D experience was too loud and overwhelming for my son - we barely made it through the opening credits before we had to leave.  Saw some great previews in 3-D though.........

Yeah, I think the only movie I ever saw (part of) that was worse would be "It's Pat."

Half the theater walked out of Inglorious Basterds last night. I contemplated it during that bar scene but I'm really glad I stayed.

Wow - I liked Inglorious Basterds.  What about the bar scene almost made you leave?

I have never walked away from a movie I started - at home or in the theater.  No matter how bad it is (and some were pretty bad - I used to watch a lot of SCI-FI original movies), I am compelled to stick it out and see how it ends.   :P

Good point; a lot of films start out good, lag like hell in the middle, but redeem themselves at the end.

Then again, there are just as many that start out strong and totally go to **** in the second half.

Oh, I liked it too, but I felt the beginning and the bar scene just went on way too long. The bar scene in particular could have been greatly edited to simply establish the plot, and then quickly get to the shootout.

Well, most of what I didn't like by the midpoint, I still didn't like by the end.  Just can't stand not knowing what happens!

In that scene Tarantino was trying to draw out the tension and awkwardness as far as he possibly could... to make the fine line the Basterds were walking as palpable as the format would permit.  I was riveted.  If you weren't engaged at that point I could see it seeming too long.  Really I thought it was brilliant.  Every second the SS guy was probing, even with the most innocuous comments.  And just when it looked like the Brit pulled it off, he blows it.  That's the one scene of the film I'm most looking forward to watching again to see what all I missed.
