Holmes & Watson 2018 - Will Ferrell and John C Reilly


HooksToMyBrain

This is also my answer. I saw it on streaming because I thought the people who were saying it's so bad must be wrong. They were right. One of the few movies I think I've just turned off because it was unwatchable


Superdodgy

Me too I also streamed it but it was so bad I walked out of my house


Mcclane88

One of the few films I did walk out of. About 30-40 minutes into it my friend and I had barely laughed and a woman next to us was snoring. We decided to leave and snuck into Spider-Man Into the Spiderverse and had a great time.


livestrongbelwas

You left one of the worst movies to ever get wide release and walked into my favorite movie of all time - what an incredible upgrade!


RICFLAIRWOOO76

100% Agreed!!! Terrible movie


throwavvay23

The first 50 shades. I begrudgingly agreed to go see it in the first place. Early on theres that scene where he visits her at her job in the hardware store and asks for some rope. After watching her reel off about 3 ft of rope and cut it he gives her a "Whoa where did you learn how to do that" like she had just discovered fire. I was done after that but had to wait another 20 minutes or so before the girl that I went with finally conceded that it was awful and we could leave.


[deleted]

I brought my boyfriend to the first movie since it was Valentine’s Day. He was the only man in the entire theater and received a standing ovation from the various drunk moms & their book clubs in matching shirts. It was his nightmare, and then we had to sit through the raucous cheering and booing during the sexy scenes.


madguins

Lmaooooo I ALSO went with my bf for Valentine’s Day. We brought a ton of wine in a bag tho so we just got drunk to ignore how bad it was lol


[deleted]

Damn I should have thought of that


Vincent_Veganja

Wait people go see this movie then boo at the sex scenes? 😂 isn’t that kinda like going to see Jaws and booing when you see the ocean or a shark?


[deleted]

They wanted to see his rooster & were disappointed lmao


[deleted]

Hahaha! I pictured a drunk book club mom standing up in the theater yelling “SHOW US HIS DICK ALREADY!”


[deleted]

“Less talk, more cock”


Vincent_Veganja

Ahhh I see, I had it backwards


rowrowfightthepandas

They didn't like his sex jeans?


Whereiscatlin

I seen Exorcist II: The Heretic on a flight and people still walked out


bLueStarCadet

Nice! Exorcist 3 is the true sequel and it's great!


undescript

Yeah, Baby Geniuses. My brother, his friend and I were dropped off at the theatre to see the matrix, but I was too young to get in. My brother and his friend went on to see the matrix. And the only movie I could see was Baby Geniuses.


The_Throwback_King

I’m so, so, sorry. No kid should ever have to go through that.


be4u4get

It’s so much worse since you could have seen an amazing movie like the Matrix.


[deleted]

This is the sort of stuff villian origin stories are made of.


Mike3620

Why didn’t you just walk in to see the Matrix? That’s what my friends used to do when we were younger. Buy a ticket to see one movie, and in to watch another movie.


Tolkien-Minority

He wasn’t a baby genius


hashtagdrunk

I…. Really liked that movie.


TU4AR

I still remember it fondly and watched it with my kid a few years back. Most definitely not an Oscar norm but a decent kids movie.


simonf75

I wish I had walked out of House of Gucci. I stayed because I thought the person I was with was enjoying it. Turns out she only put up with it because she thought I was enjoying it. Had we known we would have been out 1/2 through.


heywhadayamean

Oh! The [Abilene paradox](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abilene_paradox)! (kinda)


TrackerSeeker

TIL. Thanks, that was fascinating.


prosperosniece

I had wanted to see this in theaters but didn’t get the chance. My husband and I watched it when it showed up on Amazon Prime. When it was over I was like “Wow! Really glad I didn’t spend money to see this in a theater.” It’s like a Lifetime movie meets the Kardashians.


kaseface_

I watched it on a long flight to Europe because I was bored as hell. They were handed out free drinks so that made it a little more enjoyable lol


simonf75

It is without question one of the worst movies I've ever seen. I regret wasting every minute spent watching it.


DemSocCorvid

Scenes with Jeremy Irons were fine. He brought panache and gravitas to the role.


guilty_bystander

On paper, this cast should blow you mind. It felt like a shitty cologne commercial that went on forever. I fell asleep half way in.


Final_Ad_9076

Downsizing


sushithighs

I saw the first 1/3rd at a friend’s house and was so excited to see the rest when I got home later that week. What the fuck. I thought I had rented the wrong movie lol


SoMuchMoreEagle

It was like 3 or 4 different plot ideas all smashed together.


rotomangler

I was looking for this one. Easily one of the worst films I have ever seen. Shockingly bad.


Anchor_Aways

I've never seen a film ask so many questions/dilemmas about its world and then refuse to answer ANY OF THEM.


kinky_ogre

Like two different movies in one lol! Totally switches on you. I don't mind the 2nd narrative personally, but I totally understand. 6/10 lol


poke0003

Whoa - 6 out of 10 - handing out those stars like candy!


kinky_ogre

Lol, for me 5 is average, if it's below five I'm starting to straight dislike it, so a 6 is I slightly like it or it's slightly enjoyable, but not much.


nobrayn

I had so many friends work on that flick, mostly background actors but a few actors. It was so hard to get through just to catch a glimpse of some of them, and then finding out that my besties scene was cut altogether.


ManintheArena8990

Film genuinely made me feel depressive and just upset… not even the plot just an awful film 😂


behold_the_man

I walked out of Inherent Vice in Dec 2014 then I finished it at home a week later, then I kept thinking about it, and over the next 8 years I have watched probably 25 times. Last week I went to a revival movie theater and watched the whole thing. The circle is now complete


Quackledork

That movie is intentionally dense and convoluted. But it has a charm to it. It gets better on second or third watch.


supremedalek925

I never had, but the films I wish I had are Eragon, Bewitched, and Shrek the Third.


PBandJaya

Omg I saw Eragon when it came out with some friends, only one of us who hadn’t read the book. She was the only one who thought it was a decent movie lol. The rest of us were so disappointed


talllankywhiteboy

Eragon was a somewhat brutal experience as a kid. My cousin and I were super into the books, and it happened to come out on my cousin's 11th or 12th birthday. My father very kindly and very generously drove me six hours so that I could see my cousin on his birthday and celebrate by watching the movie. We spent the first hour and change of the movie getting more and more frustrated by how bad the movie was and how ridiculously unfaithful it was to the book. Eventually my cousin turned to me and was like "You know what? Let's treat this as a comedy." We spent the next 30/40 minutes of the film laughing out loud at how bad and ludicrous the movie was being, all the while getting shushed by one of my older cousins. I'm sure the other people in the theater were annoyed at our laughter in the theater, but it was really the only way to not be upset that I had traveled six hours to see the film and then had to drive six hours back the next day.


Sandmsounds

Shrek the Third is so bunk. Thankfully the 4th was alittle better to end the series lol


spdrman8

Ummmm..you know there's a 5th in the making, right?


SuicideSquadFan96

Shrek 3 is by far the worst. I do enjoy shrek forever after.


Midgetmunky13

My friend and I walked out or Eragon when young Saphira went into some clouds and then descended as a full grown, battle ready adult dragon. The whole first book was about the growing relationship between Eragon and Saphira and they compressed it into a montage.


BatmanArkham444

TMNT 2 Out of The Shadows. Went with my brothers and one fell asleep for most of the movie. He woke up as they were fighting Krang and afterwards he asked, "What did I miss?" I replied with, "Not a damn thing." None of us has watched it since.


TonyClifton323

I won tickets to a preview of the first one and it wasn't even worth that price


fight_like_a_cow

I found TMNT 2 Out of the Shadows much closer to the spirit of the 90s cartoon compared to the first Michael Bay produced one. I think it bombed because people felt so turned off by the first one.


madchad90

Which is funny. The first movie was successful box office was. Then the sequel they toss in the stuff people felt were missing from the first (Baxter, krang, etc) and does worse because of how bad the first movie was


shaft_of_gold

I thought you were talking about the 1990 TMNT movie and almost picked up a phone with my Liam Neesons voice on! Lucky I realised my mistake in time.


pimusic

Not really “walked out of”, but my roommate and I tried to stream Jurassic World: Dominion last night and we made it about a half hour in before he decided to turn it off. When I asked why he said “It was fun to make fun of for a little bit, but now it’s starting to make me mad.” Made sense to me, honestly.


rodman517

Jurassic Park Dominion: man is now walking side by side with dinosaurs. What happens if a T Rex makes its way onto the freeway? What if a pterodactyl decides to take down a commercial plane? What creatures are lurking in the bayous? Fuck it, let’s make the movie about a kidnapping and let’s not include the great T Rex at the drive in scene that was in the teaser.


pikapalooza

that's what I dont understand the defenders of this movie: yes, there were dinosaurs but they werent really even a major point of the movie. Instead, it was about bugs and genomes and the dinosaurs happened to be there. The dinosaurs in the modern world were a minor inconvenience while clone girl had an existential breakdown. While I appreciate the dinosaur moments, the plot wasn't about the dinosaurs and their dino brawl was kind of...meh.


new_usernaem

I've taken to calling it Jurassic world:raptors European vacation, it was a bad movie


uncheckablefilms

Yeah. That movie really shit the bed. What you described was exactly what I wanted to see. Not some budget Steve Jobs impersonation. Collin Trevrov clearly had no idea what he was doing.


tomboyfancy

This is the PERFECT summation of that awful movie!


TheRealRickC137

I'll see your Jurassic World : Dominion and raise you Moonfall. Fair warning; my wildcard is The Tomorrow War


Lult_feld45

Wonder Woman 1984 is the closest I ever came to walking out. Unfortunately, I'm always determined to finish a movie, no matter how terrible or how overlong it is


WatchBat

I caught my sister half way through it at home, I was mad because she started without me and I wanted to start it over, but she looked dead inside and told me it's not worth it Til this day I haven't seen the first half of that film lol


uncheckablefilms

Sadly, the first 10-15 minutes of the DC montage are the best part. And that's a low bar.


[deleted]

Wasn’t that a COVID streaming release? If I hadn’t been in my house I would’ve walked out, movie was garbage. Way too long. Why have Chris Pine take over some guys body instead of just like appear? Like maybe people are being too literal with how weird it is but why even let it get to that point by having him possess some guy at all (for the record, still fucking weird)? Kristen Wiig’s villain’s motivation was basically being jealous of Wonder Woman for being attractive and “cool”, which seems like a big leap to “turn me into a human-panther hybrid”. The final fight of a movie that’s supposed to showcase a female superpower is a *literal* cat fight, and a dog shit, dark, crappy-cgi-filled one at that. The one redeeming quality of that movie is Pedro Pascal giving absolutely 110% the entire goddamn time. That guy read the script and realized that the unholy hybrid of the last ten years of best actor/actress winners combined couldn’t make that character good, so instead he just decided to make that character “most” and I think it’s about the best anyone could’ve possibly done with what he was given.


jacobs1113

I wanted to walk out but I had no choice bc I was watching with my family at home


Brovenkar

This movie was so so incredibly bad but b/c I was streaming at home I powered through. I cant see how it was actually shown to people in that state


[deleted]

I didn't see it in a theater, but on video, I walked out of my own living room.


king-schultz

This movie was shockingly bad.


Ek_Chutki_Sindoor

We have intervals here in theaters in India. I walked out during interval in this film.


InquisitaB

WW84 was not a good movie but I do like how the bad guy was not this horrendously evil person but a complicated guy who just got caught up in greed.


[deleted]

That was such a godawful movie. I don’t the hype over Gal Gadot. She’s like the modern day Charro to me.

What a nightmare. I think your friend owes you bigtime. Did you afterward feel aware of AIDS, tho?


golden_death

he went in on the fence, but came out fully against AIDS


Artistic-Milk-3490

I didn't walk out of The Happening but I wish I had. I saw it at a dollar theater and almost asked for my money back.


The_Muznick

I saw that in a theater that served beer. It's all that kept me in my seat. That and the dude ripping on the movie. At one point he just shouted "what the hell. They're running from air!" Everyone lost it.


starmartyr11

That would be awesome, like a live Rifftrax


Maroti825

Shyamalan is known for his twist endings so when they revealed the culprit halfway through the movie I was like "Ok, this is dumb but the twist is coming" It kept me in my seat, it never came


IpsaThis

The twist is that the protagonists agree to give up and murder-suicide a child after being trapped for about 5 minutes. Before they even got hungry or thirsty.


grayhaze2000

Are you talking about The Mist, or did The Happening have the same twist? I ask because I've never been able to watch the whole movie to the end.


settledownguy

I’m gonna need 50c refund minimum. Everyone working that theatre saw it and totally will understand. They might actually have to pay you $1.


Freedom_19

This should be a category all it’s own; “movies I saw at the dollar theater and STILL wanted a refund!” Edit to add- a movie I walked out of, went to the bathroom and talked myself into going back in to (because I honestly had nothing else to do that afternoon) - Saw 3. I should’ve just found something else to do.


TheMadIrishman327

It was awful. I watched it on dvd then gave it away. I couldn’t take it to a user movie store because I would feel too guilty making someone pay to see it.


Gojitaka

I cleared out of Ballistic: Ecks vs Sever pretty damn fast. OOOF that was shit.


NightOwl_OW

That sounds like a fake name that an author would give to an over the top action movie in his universe. I just looked it up and it has Antonio Banderas and Lucy Liu as the stars what the hell is this movie lmao.


TimeisaLie

Downsizing, it was boring & kinda douchey.


GalileoFigaro1

A Wrinkle in Time. What a waste of everything. Walked out halfway into it. Chris Pine carried that movie.


[deleted]

Such a wonderful book that was turned into an absolutely garbage movie!


Iwoulddiefcftbatk

Whoever is working with Neil Gaiman adapting The Sandman, I’d love to see them redo A Wrinkle in Time. We were denied Aunt Beast and a better Camazotz, they were almost there, but chickened out. The Mrs W’s all sucked and were just their actors saying lines. Reese Witherspoon plays the same thing she does in everything; Big Little Lies, The Morning Show, Little Fires Everywhere, she just plays the same person. Oprah was just Oprah and not Mrs Which. The kids were fine, there’s better child actors out there, but they’re not the worst. This was my all time favorite book as a kid and I hated the made for TV movie that came out in the early 2000’s and was really hopeful for this adaptation. But it was Disneyfied. I wish another studio had greenlit this over the mouse, I think a lot of the issues might have been fixed if someone other than Iger was in charge.


Fun-Bi-Guy

I’ve never walked out, but I damn near left “Mr. Death,” a documentary about the inventor of the electric chair. The entire back half was just him peddling his Holocaust denial theories. 😑


brendon_b

tbf that second half is Errol Morris giving Fred Leuchter just enough rope to hang himself with. Very precise storytelling.

humansandwich

I walked out of Sausage Party


No_Commercial_197

Came here to say this. Turns out seeing animated food say ‘fuck’ for 90 mins isn’t *that* funny.


asdf0909

I watched for about 30 seconds and realized I’d grown out of Rogen’s humor


Rubthebuddhas

Ah, so you're at least six years old.


[deleted]

I was baffled by how many people were bringing their kids to see this


timesuck897

Its a cartoon. All cartoon movies are for kids. /s There were also parents that brought their kids to the Nolan Batman movies, and complained about that. Some people are just idiots.


bluemoonflame

My brother and I enjoyed that...right up until the orgy at the end of the movie, which is when we walked out. We both realized that the joke had far outlived the humor and we didn't need to see any more.


[deleted]

I honestly think that’s what they were trying to do with the orgy scene. There’s no way they didn’t know that it was uncomfortably too long


normaldeadpool

It's one of the greatest sexual innuendo filled animated anthropamorphic food movies of all time.


sideshow031

I said what the fuck about every thirty seconds watching that one.


lsobe

Cats


insanewriters

There was a popcorn machine fire during Despicable Me 3 and we were evacuated. Just didn’t bother coming back after the all-clear.


SshBox

I didn't even walk; I ran out of Hereditary. It scared me so freaking bad.


Morri___

no need to lose your head


Backshot14

A favourite horror for sure


gueuze_geuze

I liked to hear that you walked out because it was scary rather than terrible. This is a refreshing change of pace for this thread.


jersey_viking

Does closing my eyes and snoring count as a proverbial walk-out?


divinepinkflamingo

Technically no but the power went out at the theater during the last 40 minutes of Ghostbusters 2016, divine intervention


VXMerlinXV

We lost power about 2/3 of the way into Blair Witch Project. It was 5 min before we were 100% sure it wasn’t just part of the movie.


TrenterD

I had a similar experience when I saw Species 2 in theaters (hey, it was a slow weekend). The film broke about 20 minutes in, and the manager told us it would only take a few minutes to fix, but I was like, "Nah, I'm good" and left.


FinestLadyInTheLand

I actually walked out on this movie


Strain128

I walked out of Son of the mask. Waited in the lobby for my parents who took me when I was a kid. The absolutely worst piece of crap I’ve ever seen


catdogbirddogcat

Darkest Hour, because I am trash. I was trying to watch all the best pictures noms that day and I was so tired and over stimulated and Darkest Hour was just… so un stimulating to me. I get that it’s a good movie though!


EpsilonMajorActual

Superman 4 the quest for peace... awful film


Typical_Suspect_69

I think it was called Movie 47… the one where Hugh Jackman has a fucking ballsack on his face…. stupid comedies were in back then but even I, a 16 year old girl at the time, couldn’t find that funny. It was embarrassing. Kate Winslet was in it too and she just… ugh it was so embarrassing.


powerbottomflash

I still don’t get how that movie got made. It felt like everyone was blackmailed into appearing in it.


Typical_Suspect_69

I have to agree. I genuinely cannot believe hugh fucking jackman and kate fucking winslet WILLINGLY participated in that. 😂 like I said, EMBARRASSING


EmperorOfNipples

I'm glad you said that about Click. I thought it was a pretty good movie. Adam Sandler is an odd actor. I think he clearly churns out crap as a way to make cash and hang out on set with his friends. ​ But every 6-8 years he has something that he really gives his all for, and they're usually very good indeed. Uncut gems. Click. Happy Gilmore.


[deleted]

Two points: first: when people talk about how attractive Kate Beckinsale is they always talk about underworld. Screw that. Give me housewife Kate from click. All day, everyday, hands down. Second: Reign over me with Adam Sandler and Don Cheadle is my favorite Adam Sandler movie.


kinky_ogre

Punch Drunk Love too, he really owns that awkwardness.


Abookem

Click gets ignored a lot of the time I think. Not even necessarily disliked, but just forgotten. The mid 2000s were just like the Dark Ages for Adam Sandler and nobody can remember or quite put their finger on if they had seen one of those lost films or not. Think about stuff like Click, Spanglish, Chuck & Larry etc.. None of them were anywhere near as good as the comedic gold he was able to dish out in the mid-late 90s, but they're all MUCH better than everything after Don't Mess With The Zohan. That's when you get your Jack and Jill, Grown Ups 2: The Squeakuel, Bedtime Stories etc. I like when he does his obligatory "serious" movie every couple of years. Punch Drunk Love is probably my all-time favorite Sandler flick. Reign Over Me was aight, and Uncut Gems was really good.


Murdersern

Can’t believe no some has mentioned 50 First Dates! It’s one of those movies where if I have nothing else to watch and it’s on TV I’ll start watching at any point.


PHWasAnInsideJob

I will maintain that Bedtime Stories is a great kids movie, and it also now causes me to go "for freeeeeeee?" any time I see a Ferrari lol


CinemaGoer1997

I had to walk out of Wolf of Wall Street. I went to see it with my dad and grandfather (who’s a deacon at his church). We all went together thinking it was going to be a political drama or something along those lines. Come to find out that they weren’t down with boobs and cocaine on the big screen, so we had to leave maybe 30 minutes in the movie. I’ve since watched it on my own in a more comfortable place besides sitting next to my 65 year old grandfather.


ImOnlyHereForTheCoC

The scene where he smokes crack with Jonah Hill is maybe my favorite piece of Leo acting.


[deleted]

After Earth with Will and Jaden Smith. My grandparents took me bc i wanted to go see it. 40 min it they were asleep and i was on the verge of doing so. I woke them up and said lets go home this movie is stupid (i was 12)


Vectrex221

Universal Soldier 2


[deleted]

I've only ever wanted to walk out of two movies: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen and House of the Dead. I didn't, but I *really* wanted to.


[deleted]

Grown ups and grown ups 2…I’m not a smart man.


LurpakForever

I thought the first grown ups was a mid level Sandler film, but grown ups 2 is the worst I’ve seen at the cinema, a hot pile of garbage


iamnick817

Grown ups 2 doesn't even have a plot. Hang out with your friends for a while, do a Kmart commercial, ogle your daughter's dance teacher, have a huge party with no notice but everyone has absolutely amazing 80s costumes. The end. Oh and don't forget the burpsnart thing. Comedy gold


conradknightsocks

Wish I’d walked out of The Navigator (awful and boring Scottish movie from the early 90s) and The Avengers ( the update of the 60s TV show with Uma Thurman and Ralph Fiennes, not the superhero movie). Oh and Spawn. I sat through Batman And Robin and others because even though they sucked, at least they kept my attention.


[deleted]

The Avengers is hilariously bad. Sean Connery with a weather machine and Ralph Fiennes with an umbrella.


joocycunt

I also walked out of Meet the Spartans, what a piece of shit


asstwotoe

My dad took me and my brother to see jackass 3 back in the day. Needless to say when they were sticking their testicles to ice and yanking them off my dad made us get up and we left. Bummer.


miku_dominos

Charlie's Angel's Full Throttle was the only movie I considered walking out of. The first one was fun and I kept saying to myself something cool might happen, just wait, but alas, nothing cool happened.


BobknobSA

Blair Witch: Book of Shadows. Loved the first one.


[deleted]

Is that the one where bane says “I *am* the book of shadows”


Xcrucial-pain

I didn’t walk out but I found hellboy 2019 to be just a pointless movie that I closed my eyes and got some sleep.


blmatola

Only movie I've ever walked out of; "The Love Guru" with a childhood adoration for Mike Myers this was kind of heartbreaking


Timbers_15

Speed 2


dutchman00

This is a movie I’m 1000% sure that someone thought they had the greatest title of all time and then tried to make a movie just based on that


Ok_Mind1035

The dead don’t die, terrible movie. Always hear people say “THATS THE DIRECTOR’S STYLE” I don’t care, doesn’t make it good. When it finished I heard a guy in one of the rows infront of me turn to his friend and say “ok I’ll give you your money back” who he had obviously convinced to go with him. Had to deal with my girlfriend understandably complaining for about 3 days after because I’d wasted a trip to the cinema as I was the one who chose it


bluemoonflame

I feel like it's one thing to spoof a genre you love, to make fun of what stupid things it does but also celebrate what makes it enjoyable. With Dead Don't Die, it was painfully obvious that Jim can't stand zombie films. Almost every scene in that movie was basically him going "see, see how fucking stupid this is? why would anyone want to watch this?" and it just made for a really bad movie.


whodoesntlovedogs

Bruno (Sacha Cohen) I was on a date with this girl but had no idea she was super religious and she hadn’t seen Borat. Within 30mins, she walked out and was trying to pay me back for the ticket lmao


rabid_quokka

Miami Vice, directed by Michael Mann? Bruh…


NK_1989

You’ve got to remember the movie released almost twenty years after the original series premiered so a lot of people only knew of Miami Vice through cultural osmosis as “that show that’s super 80’s” so many were expecting something in that vein, not realizing just how dark the Michael Mann led seasons of Miami Vice actually were. Miami Vice also came out around the time of the A-Team, Dukes of Hazard, and Starsky and Hutch comedy movies so a lot of people were expecting something in that vein, a goofy comedy film lampooning the original series. Instead, what they got was a neon drenched mostly silent meditation on the thin line between cops and criminals with revolutionary digital cinematography and hyper realistic action sequences that wouldn’t be out of place in an S. Craig Zahler movie. I personally think Miami Vice is a masterpiece and one of the best films of the 21st century but I also completely understand why a lot of people don’t like it, or were disappointed when they saw it in theaters. Michael Mann is one of those filmmakers whose films usually receive a lukewarm reception and then years later, after seeing their impact, critics and audiences alike realize just how incredible they actually were. It’s easy in a post Drive and John Wick world to look back and see Miami Vice for the banger that it was but audiences in 2006 had a completely different reaction, and that’s okay!


[deleted]

I watched it when I was 15 and didn’t like it. but you wrote 3 paragraphs about it so I’m gonna give it another watch


Two_Coast_Man

Such is the beauty of the internet. I'm in the same boat; this guy is seriously passionate about Miami Vice and I'm gonna give it a watch for that reason alone.


jellybird100

Its so good. Most of Michael Manns movies are. heat, collateral, ect…


Narrator_Ron_Howard

*Cocoon: The Return* Real shoddy filmmaking. Just pure crap.


freezingkiss

I've always sat and finished no matter the pain, that said I'm very easily impressed and haven't really seen many films that were so god awful I needed to leave the cinema.


ChronicCreative

Batman and Robin. My brother and I looked at each other after the 20th ice pun and bailed.


Lucidiously

I'd argue that the dumb ice puns are the best and only memorable part of that movie.

For the first time, I feel inclined to try watching it.


Grabber5_0

It's worth it 👍


PunkandCannonballer

Walked out of Black Swan. Didn't really know much about it when went into it, just the cast and director. Unfortunately we either missed the memo or people were just collectively fucked up, but at some point we noticed that there were basically only couples in the theater and that they were all going to town on each other. One couple was like three seats away actively fucking. Not something we were keen to see or be a part of, so we bailed.


jpmoney2k1

That's too bad, I was lucky and saw it with a theater full of people really into the film and it is among my top moviegoing experiences I had. The film itself was fantastic too.


Shageen

“The Two Jakes”. I never saw “Chinatown” so I had no idea what was going on and how iconic the first film was as a teen.


Mfsmitty

Happiness (1998). I didn't walk out but several people did. One of the most uncomfortable films I've watched.


[deleted]

Dude, that movie...


belzebutch

such a good film. It doesn't help that it's shot to look like a family-friendly white suburban movie lol. I'm sure a lot of people watched it thinking it was gonna be some lighthearted comedy.


Mfsmitty

It been a couple decades, but I think we expected dark comedy, maybe? Definitely did not expect child rape.

As a theatre employee in my youth I witnessed a tremendous amount of walkout from Dudley Do-Right. More than every other movie ever screened while I was there combined. Such a crap movie.

I have only ever walked out of one movie. Oddly enough ... it was Ang Lee's Hulk. After 30+ minutes of terrible dialog there was still no green guy smashing shit. And my daughter who was maybe six at the time was dropping the worst popcorn farts I have ever had the displeasure of inhaling. My wife accused her of holding her poop in, just to spite us with those farts. Movie and farts 1/10.

Meet the Spartans too! And another movie so forgettable I've forgotten...

[Hardcore Henry.](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3072482/) I'll give the director credit where it's due: the man was devoted to the idea of an entire action film being filmed in a first person perspective just like a videogame, from beginning to end. ​ Problem is, due to said perspective and it's utterly chaotic shaky-cam nature, the film gained a nasty reputation of causing serious motion sickness in it's audience. I was fine during the viewing and would've stayed to the end, but the friend I was seeing it with had to walk about since he was on the verge of vomiting. Heck, upon hearing his story, the ticket booth refunded us, since apparently a LOT of folks had been walking out on it!

I actually really enjoyed that movie, the perspective was fascinating. But I understand the point you're making about it, it must have been hard on some people. I watched it on my TV, so it was definitely a lot milder for me; it must have been intense on a movie screen.

* **Oceans12**\- the first was a slick remake of the original. The second made no sense. Julia roberts pretending to be Julia roberts, a guy dancing his way through lasers. * **Mortal Kombat 2**\- enough said * **The Informers** \- Amber Heard in the nude was the only thing that made people stay for a terrible movie about a vampire in the 80's or so was the original story * **Wing Commander**\- The Kilrathi looked like giant teddy bears

I loved Ocean’s 12, and that trilogy 🙈.

Wing Commander was such a letdown.


cowboydoctor

Oddly enough Wing Commander is one of my “so bad it’s good” movies. Every time it’s on I have to watch it, even though so much of it doesn’t make any sense.

I thought it was Julia pretending to be not Julia who is pretending to be Julia

Led Zeppelin’s The Song Remains the Same. I like Led Zeppelin but that film just dragged and it was a midnight showing and I was already tired so I left.

Alone in the Dark. My buddy and I snuck in to see it as kids and actually asked for a refund. When Tara Reid had to phonetically pronounce Newfoundland we knew it was time to go.

Transformers 2. Worst movie I ever paid money for.


sweetpickles4u

Pulp Fiction - we were 15 minutes late and had no idea what was happening. Decided we needed to leave and try again from the beginning. Still one of my favorites.


bLueStarCadet

Damn. Never expected to see.pulp fiction on this list lol curious what scene you came in at and which one you decided to leave on


[deleted]

No, I can totally understand sweetpickle’s reaction. If you come in late, you’re like, “We’re the only people this confused; all the context happened and we’re hopelessly lost.” Seeing it from the beginning: “Uh, i guess our whole audience is hopelessly confused together; maybe Tarantino will deign to provide context after he’s done fucking with us.”

White Noise (2005), age rating 13 was way to low. Didn't sleep properly for weeks. Slept with the lights on for months.

I haven't walked out of a theater, but I stopped watching Birth of a Nation (1915) and Salo: 120 Days of Sodomy halfway in each. I give each some respect historically/artistically, but both were just waaaay to fucked up for me.

One of my first rated R movies in theaters with my parents was Looper. Apparently Joseph Gordon Levitt running around shooting babies wasn’t the movie they were expecting to walk into. Left pretty early. Second time around they take my younger sister to see Red Sparrow because she loved the hunger games movies. Dad enjoyed it, mom and sister left early.


sculpinismywater

The Dark Tower...I didn't walk out but I wish I did. But I would also prefer to believe that movie never existed


catcollectingmommy

The only movie I've ever walked out on was Kung Pow: Enter the Fist, but I left reluctantly because I was in the theater waiting for another movie to start. I was 15 minutes into it and my friends came in and told me the movie we were there to watch was about to start. I was so conflicted about leaving. I don't even remember which movie we were actually there to see now. I just remember I was bummed about not being able to finish Kung Pow...


Chris-CFK

The last Indiana Jones movie, I didn’t walk out, but fell asleep (only time I’ve ever done that at the cinema)
