Walking Out of Movies


Normally I would never dream of walking out on a movie. Ticket prices in California being ridiculously high, so it isn't worth it. But once I started seeing video game footage I was gone.

I have only walked out of two movies in my entire life (and I've seen some crap):
Big Momma's House
House of the Dead

What movies have others walked out of?

I have to admit, I have never willingly walked out of a movie. I'm not the picky type though, I'll watch pretty much anything within the genres I like. The only film I walked out on was "The Punisher" with Thomas Jane in it. However, that was only because the friend I was with was feeling very unwell.

Films I was really tempted to walk out of though were "Manderlay" and "Zombie Strippers", but I persevered though.

EDIT: Oh, by the way, I enjoyed "House of the Dead". That being said, I didn't think the movie was good in the right ways, but rather in all the wrong ways. It was very funny with the poor acting and script, and the slow-motion fight scene towards the end was horribly amazing. :D

Star Trek: The Motion Picure was the only time I ever walked out of a movie.

I have only ever walked out of one movie:

The Thin Red Line

Still don't know how that tripe ended.

Some that came close:
Rushmore
The Firm
Double Jeopardy
Edward Scissorhands

I don't like admitting the fact that I saw this movie in the theaters, but I will admit that I couldn't walk out of this movie because my buddy and I were laughing hysterically the entire time. It truly is the worst movie I've ever seen. I've only walked out of a movie once, and not because it was terrible. It was Master and Commander. Just wasn't feeling it.

I have only walked out on one movie that I remember: Scary Movie 2 (Dont ask me why I went to see it to begin with. I guess maybe it was one of those things where all your friends are going and you just wanna chill.)

I have fallen asleep during two others: Dungeons And Dragons (Again, NEVER should have gone) and The Nightmare Before Christmas in 3D (Wow, I have hesitantly agreed to go see some bad movies)

Romans 5:6

Laura Croft: Tomb Raider
Dukes of Hazzard

The Master of Disguise.

I don't know if anyone saw that movie, but, wow.

Had I seen house of the dead in theaters I probably would've also walked out.

The 2 films that I had walked of are

1. The People Under the Stairs. Pure garbage. It was so stupid
I twitched and squirmed till I couldn't stand it. There is
something about bad child actors that I have no tolerance for.

2. A Miracle At St. Anna. Wow, this is coming from an aclaimed
director Spike Lee. He is a hit and miss director with me but,
my God this movie sucks. People were laughing during the battle
scenes. That's how bad this was. I could go off on how bad this was.
Just avoid this crap.

Only one movie I really WANTED to walk out on and it was Benjamin Button, I don't normally see movies in theaters unless I know I'll like them. I figured Benjamin would be enjoyable to me but I was wrong. Wasn't an absolutely terrible movie, it just wasn't entertaining for me, except the scene with the lightning.

I walked out of Get Shorty.

Just thought it was ;

1. The most pretentious pile of steaming dung I had ever seen
2. Was trying to be so cool and witty but wasn't.
3. Was soooooooo boring.

i was really close to walking out of "Dont Mess with the Zohan" but i only stayed because my friends that were with me at the time, had food. it was such a bad movie. adam sandlers worst.

reply

Okay, I have too never left a theater. But here the one movie i would have walked out of:

Stealth

An unhealthy waste of 2 or so hours, and matinee movie ticket.

reply

Jack - the one with Robin Williams.

The haunting(1999) Just..garbage!

Smokin' Aces - dire, all over the place. managed about 3/4 the way through.

I have a rule to never walk out of a film, no matter how bad it is, but I have shamefully broken it twice.

Traffic: It's not an awful film, but jeez it was pretty dull. I probably would've got into it had i seen it a different time, but to be honest none of us were really in the mood to watch it it seems. The moment we decided to walk out however was actually pretty damn funny, i leant over to my sister and said "do you know that there are 120 panels on the ceiling?" my sister looks back and says, "no there isn't there's 122" then my sisters boyfriend leans over and says "both of you are wrong, it's 119" we'd all been counting the damn panels on the ceiling, on that note it was time to leave, lol.

The Mummy 3: I actually wasn't going to walk out due to vowing never to break my don't walk out of a movie rule again years after Traffic, but I got a call from family who needed a lift from the train station. To be honest I was pretty fecking relieved that I had a legitmate reason to leave, the movie really did suck, lol.


I'll also admit that I nearly walked out of Speed Racer too but stuck with it to the end, that cringe worthy, multi coloured, epilepsy inducing pile of crap of a movie.

I don't know if you could technically call it "walking out", but I remember an early 80's horror film called (I think) "Fear No Evil" I went to see it with a couple of buddies, and I kept falling asleep it was so boring. So I went out into the lobby and played pinball, or whatever passed for arcade games in those days. Maybe we even had PacMan by then...

I don't think I've ever tried to watch that movie again since. And I love horror movies!

Yes. Yes, it did. A friend who worked at the local AMC let us see a showing of it for free, and we only made it about halfway through. What a horrible let-down!
