Left during the last 15 minutes. One of the worst movies I've ever seen lol.


Lol, you stole mine....so so bad. I would have walked out the Miami Vice remake if wasn't with people.

I used to watch a lot of sneak previews, so yeah, sometime there was some crap that made me leave. Sausage Party was probably the worst offender. Walked out 30 minutes in (just like 50% of the other viewers).

I had to leave halfway through the Evil Dead remake because I was baked out of my gourd and there by myself on opening night in a completely packed theatre, and the scene where they were pulling the glass out of the dudes chest almost made me sick. I was laughed at as I stumbled out of the theatre and literally fell on my face just outside the theatre doors, I have a scar on my chin from that. Had to wait literally lying on the floor while the theatre staff called the ambulance and made sure I was ok. Paramedics got me in the ambulance and asked me a few questions, wanted to take me to the hospital and I was like fuck that guys I'm going home. Great night.

I didn't see it in the theater but Land of the Lost was one of only two movies that I turned off less than halfway through due to it sucking. The other was Hail Caesar! Both were bad and unfunny!

I've never walked out of a movie, although I got seriously close with The Rise Of Skywalker (fucking hated that film) but I did fall asleep during the film Save The Last Dance. Took my girlfriend to see it. I remember seeing the first 5 minutes, and next thing I knew I was watching the end credits! Film was probably good but I was just bored and slept!

Magnolia. I lasted two of the three hours of that infantile shit. Boogie Nights was good, what the hell was he thinking?

Never left, wondering why I luckily landed on only half-bad movies.

Now I watch french-korean introspectives about silk worms on holiday in Guatemala that slither on for a solid 3 hours with my IRC group every sunday morning. I like to give back to society.

Hold onto your panties
none that i recall but several families walked out of kung pow

made the movie even better
People were offended by Kung Pow? Why?

I just remembered last year or the year before I fell asleep during the remake of Pet Semetary. I noticed 15-minutes in that they weren't going to make a movie that included characters from the original SK novel (caretaker's wife never shown but was important in the book, the whole Wendigo thing guarding the Cemetery was the scariest thing in the book and never showed in either movies); I fell asleep and my wife woke me up during the credits. The remade the 1989 adaptation. Come to think of it...Doctor Sleep is the only recent Stephen King film adaptation I was able to tolerate.
 
Your mother took you out of school to go to movies so she could sleep?

What am I even reading here? Something lost in translation?

haha yes, we lived in a foreign country, As I was young i learned the language faster but she didn’t. Also we had no friends, so she didn’t want to spend the day alone. The movie theater was almost 2 hours from bus and a 30 minute walk.
She may be tired from the trip and watching a movie in English (she don’t understand) with subtitles of a language she also don’t understand = sleep.

I saw Land of the Lost with my family and we all walked out about three-quarters of the way through. Just a dreadful movie. I don't see a ton of movies in theaters and generally only see well-received movies when I do so I've never wanted to walk out before. But my parents insisted on seeing it since they watched the show as kids.
 
Never walked out during a film. Tickets are too bloody expensive so got to get my money worth at least. The last film I turned off mid-way was "A Million Ways To Die In The West" there was something awkward about Seth Mcfarlane acting that was off putting.

Nah going to the movies these days is too expensive for me to just walk out. I'm going to finish it till the end to get my moneys worth.

I don't remember ever walking out but I came close with The Stupids... years later I learned to love it but at first viewing it was too much...

I walked out of Rise of Skywalker after...
Rey and Kylo kissed.
To be fair, there were lots of places where I wanted to up and leave, but that moment was the proverbial straw.

You walked out about ten minutes before the ending?

Ah well, at least you made it through most of the film.

Too bad you missed the most important and vital scene in movie history....

Two women kissing which seemed almost inhumanely impossible due to that giant beak of a nose on one of them.

No but many made me want to. I was a movie critic for years in the 2000s and was forced to watch all the shit that hit theatres. Never again.

Second Austin Powers movie. Boring as hell. I get it. Myers likes to take jokes from a first movie and inverse them in the second. Unfortunately, that sort of stuff is incredibly predictable and dry.

Never walked out of a movie, I paid for that shit, I will watch it, judge it and maybe flame about it on the internet if it sucked :D

I've never walked out on a movie 🤔
But when I watched SW TLJ, I was silent for an hour after seeing it,
I'm not even a diehard fan but I literally looked like I had seen terrible things 🤣

I choked on my own vomit after that happened, but unfortunately, I was resuscitated and was able to witness the ending.

I only walked out once on my lifetime, and that was on men in black 3. I didn't really want to see it but got talked over. The first 15 minutes were ridiculously boring for me, and the 3d made me sick.
I still feel bad for the folks I left alone in the theather though.

There are countless films I straight out quit watching by myself at home though. I won't waste two hours of my life if I'm not enjoying my time!

Never watched this, but that video looks like a bad ripoff of Equilibrium.

e - wow, same director. What happened?
Crazy to think he made Equilibrium in 2002 and Law Abiding Citizen 2010 and that in 2006
It's like the dates are mix up with Equilibrium and Ultraviolet

Granted I haven’t been to the actual movies in ages....but I did rent Uncut Gems on the iTunes Store and turned that shit off one hour into it. Movie sucked. One of the few times I quit on something I paid money for.

I went out on a date with a girl where we saw the Devil’s Advocate. About halfway through I got up and told her I’d meet her in the lobby. I had a friend that worked the counter and since there was only one screen, he had a lot of downtime. We just stood there and talked for about an hour, at which point she came out of the theater fuming because I tapped out.

My favorite memory of people walking out of the theater was when a group of us went to see South Park. During the Asses of Fire scene, people in the theater were leaving as people in the movie were getting up and leaving. It’s like Stone and Parker knew that if people left, it would be during the Uncle Fucker song.
 
I've never walked out of a movie theater but the one time I almost did it was Indiana Jones and The Crystal Skull. I was with my gf at the time and she was enjoying it so I just made the best of it and laughed at all the shittiness.

I enjoyed the first 20 minutes or so (yes even the fridge/nuke stuff) but after that? WOW. What a stinker. One of the worst sequels I can think of.

Moulin Rogue.

I had literally no idea what I was seeing, I just had a free afternoon and picked a random movie at the budget theater one day. I had no idea I was walking into a musical, I sat there like 30 minutes wondering what the hell was going on and left.

I've seen it since and it still isn't for me, but then musicals in general aren't for me. The only one I've seen and actually enjoyed was the Rock of Ages one

Magnolia: Cruise’s character was just too raunchy. Plus, the jumpy editing and non-chronological scents just didn’t sit well with me.

You stayed and watched South Park but walked out on Devil’s Advocate. That was movie was awesome. What’s wrong with you?😂
