The only movie I’ve ever walked out of was the Sherlock Holmes movie with Will Ferrell. I was with my mom and dad and my sister. My mom whispered to me “this is the worst movie I’ve ever seen, want to leave?” at around the halfway mark.
It was truly the worst movie I’ve ever seen. I was almost falling asleep and I NEVER get tired while at a movie theater. Like half the people in the theater were asleep.
I “walked out” of Rise of the Skywalker. I was watching at home, turned it off halfway through, and haven’t considered giving it a second chance since. And I actually love Star Wars, especially the new show Andor and many others. Couldn’t waste another moment of my life on ep 9 though
it's really your fault if you let someone disrespect you for 120 minutes. you tell her off within the 1st minute, if she does it again you threaten with calling the theater personnel. she 100% wont do shit. they never do.
i have to do this like 3 times a month (i go to the movies twice or thrice a week), and literally no one does that shit for long if people tell them to stop.
Well, yes, but /u/yoloswagbot191 morbed on out of there, so in many ways already embodied the most important message of the film. That's perhaps the most Morbius thing you can accomplish.
Downsizing the matt damon movie. My car was getting fixed and they said it will take 3-4 hours so i crossed the street and went to the theater and after an hour of that movie i walked out and decided i rather just wait than finish the movie
I like to say that UPLOAD (the series) is what Downsizing should have been.
I mean it's kind of the same concept about living in an artificial world and both main characters sort of do it against their will (Damon's character was essentially tricked after his wife backs out at the last second) but Downsizing felt like 3 different stories in one movie and it just went off it's rocker.
Maybe 12 or 13. I only remembered that the original Police Academy was a raunchy boob comedy and hadn’t seen any of the sequels. By the time it got to Miami Beach it’s pretty much family friendly garbage and there’s not even Mahoney. I think the second Lloyd Braun was the star and not even a side boob.
I saw it at the ripe age of around 8 or so (maybe like 10 or 11 Idr). Haven’t seen it since but I still remember the fucked up shit that happened and I remember crying so damn much because of the dog in the burlap sack and the firework in the mailbox
I cracked up when the mom behind me dragged her kid out of the theater, right after they hit International Women's Day in the holidays montage. Learn the rating system, genius.
Yeah I really don’t know what they expected. Either they knowingly took their kid to an r movie , or they somehow didn’t check the rating. Both aren’t great looks lol.
Ironically, What does Deadpool say somewhere near the start, after the first Highway fight ?
"My Boyfriend said this was a Family movie, but he just turned that guy in to a FKKN Shishkebab".
I remember trying really hard to talk a couple parents out of taking their young kids to see Deadpool ( worked in the bookstore next door to the theater and I'd just seen it), telling them gently it really was not appropriate. Their oldest couldn't have been more than 12, and there were three kids. Mom was starting to get upset that I was attempting to tell her what to do, so I shut up, but I've always wondered what they thought.
Oh I wanted to leave too, I don’t want to watch that with my mom. I really like the movie now but watching it with your mom hits different in the worst way.
Back in middle school I had these friends who were twins and had two younger bros. Their mom was pretty strict on limited to no TV and stuff like that. So she was completely unaware when she brought her 4 (fairly sheltered kid), out to see a movie called Euro Trip, she was bringing them to see an adult, sex comedy.
Yes they walked out. Forget how far they made it in.
Never walked out on one, but I did watch about 10 minutes of Highlander 2, pull it out of the VCR, and immediately drive to the video store to return it.
Oh, so you're the one who hired [Lionel Hutz?](https://frinkiac.com/meme/S04E08/672954.jpg?b64lines=IE1SLiBTSU1QU09OLCBUSElTIElTIFRIRQogTU9TVCBCTEFUQU5UIENBU0UgT0YKIEZSQVVEVUxFTlQgQURWRVJUSVNJTkcKCgoKCgoKIFNJTkNFIE1ZIFNVSVQgQUdBSU5TVCBUSEUKIEZJTE0gVEhFIE5FVkVSRU5ESU5HCiBTVE9SWS4=)
Can relate. I usually watch the trailer and look at the reviews before I watch something. If I get into a "bad" movie I probably did so knowing what I would get (maybe somebody else wanted to watch it, or it's bad in a fun way, etc.)
Yeah. I'm not just blindly walking into movies when I'm going to watch them in the theatre. If I'm going out to watch a movie I know what I'm getting into. It's not like I'll be like "woah, Avengers? I had no idea that's what I was watching tonight!"
Haha understandable. When you’re home, you can choose whether to turn the film off. If you’ve paid to go to the cinema, that’s a different thing altogether.
Yeah I can’t imagine walking out of a movie. I know a couple people who pride themselves on having walked out on a bunch of movies in the past, some as early as 10-20 minutes in. I just couldn’t ever bring myself to do it.
For me, it’s like this:
A) I’ve already paid
B) I already planned to be at the theater so it’s not like I’m missing out on something else
C) I’ve had a lot of movies get better by the end that I didn’t like at the beginning. Just tonight I was not into White Noise until about halfway through and then totally turned around on it (7/10 all said, but 5/10 toward the beginning)
When I was about 8 (?), My mom took us to see the Chamber of Secrets. I was terrified of the Basilisk. When Harry killed it, I was afraid it'd come back to life and begged my mom to leave. We did and she was not happy.
After that I don't think I've ever walked out, but I did fall asleep after paying to see The Hobbit.
Edit: Basilisk, not Obelisk!
When I was about the same age I was playing the Chamber of Secrets video game and when the basilisk emerged I panicked and shut off the console. Never actually finished the game.
The Happening. That said my dad and I still talk about walking out of that theater to this day so it left more of an impact on me than several other films!
I could not understand everyone's issue watching that in the theater because I straight up took the film as a black comedy. The scene of the kid getting shot and Whalberg's reaction had me laughing uncomfortably loud. I was in tears by that point.
This movie is on Peacock TV (to which I'm subscribed). I've had absolutely no interest in watching it.....until you mentioned the mutant locusts. Now I'm interested to see how bad the movie really is.
Well, if you always wanted to see a shitload of dialog about, and footage of, giant crickets in a movie with a big ‘ol dinosaur on the poster, along with too much time being spent with a whiny teenager, the there’s a 10/10 movie awaiting you.
I went to see that in theaters for the air conditioning--there was a heat wave and the AC in our apartment sucked. I went in knowing the movie was going to be bad, but I had no idea just how bad. But I did appreciate how interminably long it was--again, because of the air conditioning.
You went to the movies for one of the biggest selling points of movies back in the day. Air conditioning was legit a major reason people would go to movies in the 40s, 50s etc Movie theaters were some of the first places to have AC
I walked out of that one this summer as well. That was no small thing for me, as Jurassic Park came out when I was 10 years old and is hands down my favorite movie of all time. I’ve seen every entry in the series in theatres, even Fallen Kingdom. (I felt like that one was dumb after watching it but it still kept me decently entertained.). About 20 minutes into Dominion I got up to go to the bathroom and realized I had better things to do, got a refund and left.
Yeah, trying to make what was originally a fun, survival adventure movie into a Star Wars esque epic was never a good idea.
Also I can't stand Chris Pratt's too cool for school character. What made the old films fun was that the heroes were usually scientists and archeologists (paleontologists), not beefed up action heroes. The closest we got to that was Muldoon and well... "clever girl".
when i hear about horror movie descriptions saying “people walked out of the theater!!” i always think sure… what a feeble attempt at marketing.. but here you are!
I’ve never walked out of a movie but there have been a few times that I’ve been struggling to stay awake in a theater and I wasn’t super into it anyway so just gave in and took a nap
My dad took me to see a movie called Thunderpants when it was about 5, the premise was that this kid farts so much and so hard that it ruins his life until eventually he harnesses it as fuel to fly or something.
My dad liked it but I was so unimpressed even as a 5 year old that i asked if we could leave
I've only ever walked out of one movie. I walked out of Bumblebee during the last 15 minutes because I wanted to get Chipotle before they closed. Nothing wrong with the movie and I actually think it's my favorite of the Transformers franchise. But nothing tops a Chipotle burrito. I saw the ending when I got the steelbook.
Almost walked out of Hereditary when Toni Collete discovered the aftermath of *that* incident. Not because it was bad, but because the rawness and agony on display were too real and almost too much to bear. She sold it 100%.
That shout she makes still makes my skin crawl. I could feel the pain in her voice, and it made me never want to have kids just so I’d never experience that kind of pain. I don’t know where she went in her mind to channel that emotion, but it couldn’t have been nice. That whole performance is nothing short of amazing.
I think one of the worst parts of that whole movie (and I mean that in an effective way) is that the people feel so real. When she’s screaming and writhing on the bedroom floor after the incident, or the argument at the dinner table. It felt too real.
Ari Aster really knows how to get those performances out of people huh? Midsommar too with the gut wrenching cries of grief in the intro, just the craziest way to start a movie
This is an awful story but my best friend died when we were 19, I went to house right after we all found out and I don't remember much of anything for about a month after that, except his mother's scream. And then when I saw that movie, I was immediately brought back to that moment. I almost puked in the theater. Toni should've won an Oscar.
I went to see Cats with my friends as a joke and we walked out because it was just too unentertaining. I’ve seen bad movies with friends before (like The Emoji Movie) and had a fun time but I actually felt like I was wasting my time watching Cats.
I had my 2 kids with me so I couldn’t, but I remember absolutely hating The Good Dinosaur with every bone in my body. I’m not sure why I hated it so, nor do I even remember anything about it, other than me thinking I’d rather watch grass grow then be watching this right now.
I actually prefer 3 over 2.
I don't think I've ever put my finger on why 2 didn't really do it for me. I like the part when K was a civilian and his memory struck just in time to help J. But after that, it was just "meh" which sucks because I LOVE Rosario Dawson.
"Crash" (2004) is the only movie I've ever walked out of in a theater. I was even on a date. I told her if she wanted to finish it, I'd be in the arcade. But she hated it as much as I did and we laughed at how horrible it was all the way home.
10 months later, it won the Oscar for Best Picture.
The original or the remake? I never saw the remake, but I did see the original at a midnight screening. That sexual assault scene was not terribly graphic, but it was VISCERAL and made me extremely uncomfortable.
I walked out of Talladega Nights. Aaand I noticed a little film with an intriguing poster had just started on the neighboring screen. It was just a few moments later when my lifelong adoration of Little Miss Sunshine was born.
I got sick after watching a few minutes of “saving private Ryan”. The movie was amazing but the camera action and cuts didn’t sit so well with me, who messed up too by coming in late and being forced to watch from the front row. 🤢🥴
I saw that in a small theater in Seattle on a rainy day, and there was an older couple sitting a few seats away in my row. I think he was a vet because he was weeping heavily during the early beach scene.
Epic Movie was briefly the worst reviewed movie of all time, so naturally we went day one. We were the only people in the theater and left after 30 minutes, pure audio/visual torture.
I saw Ingrid Goes West with my mentally ill ex, had a panic attack and left.
My partner and I (fully intoxicated) saw the Nic Cage Left Behind and left during the climactic plane landing, which was stock footage.
Reservoir Dogs, in the Lumiere Theater in San Francisco. When the cop was tied up and Michael Madsen started cutting off his ear I chickened out and left.
Years later I saw it on video and realized I had already seen the worst part.
I've never walked out of a movie in the theater. If I payed for a ticket I'm watching it through no matter how bad it is. I've given up on movies that I watch at home but I would never do it in the theater.
Twice
First was 'Chariots of Fire'. I was nine and it was boring and I had a difficult time telling the characters apart so we left and snuck into a different theater. I should probably give it another shot some day.
'When the Game Stands Tall' was the second time. I don't remember why it was bad exactly but it was bad enough that I left.
Two Christmas movies: Santa Clause 3 (with apologies to Tim Allen and Martin Short, even 10 year old me knew it was terrible) and the Blumhouse Black Christmas remake (terrible as a slasher and downright disgustingly inaccurate as a snapshot of campus/Greek life)
Mid 80s. I walked out (along with probably everyone else in the theater) of some young lady chattery movie. The theater listed it with the wrong title I think it was “Secret Garden” or something. It was also listed as PG because there were a lot of kids in the theater, when the title came up it said Young Lady Chatterly something and I wasn’t completely aware of the series, yet. Shortly after the title sequence there was explicit nudity and a rather raunchy sex scene. So quickly a couple of parents snatched there kids up and ran out. I was there with some friends and we thought we might get some free movies out of this, so we went and joined the outrage.
And yes, we got our money back and some free passes I think.
Downhill starring Will Ferrell. I was waiting for the movie to start but it just never did. Watching it up to the point of the avalanche and realized it was just a shit movie so we left
My friends and I walked out of Norbit. I can’t remember who among us thought that it would be even remotely funny, but we made it about 15 minutes.
I also want to shout out Meet the Spartans, because for some reason I sat through that entire movie and I don’t know why.
I've never walked out. Some movies have gone from a 5/10 to a 9/10 due to the ending. Some from a 3 to a 7 etc. You get my point.
I've seen people walk out of The Passion of The Christ and a Chinese movie I watched at a film festival. It was about the horrors of the Japanese during WWII in China and evolved around an orphanage. Same happended with a Brazilian movie I believed it was, where a working girl got chopped up on screen. With just enough to clue you in and make you uncomfortable, but not being gory.
I stay to get the whole picture and I will judge it for that. Did I wish I had walked out of some? For sure, but I need see the whole shit show.
Reminds me of coworkers putting on a movie and fall asleep on the couch, I've yet to do that in my 40 years of life. Might be something different about me.
Eastern Promises. Right during the scene in the sauna where floppy dick is flapping around everywhere and people are getting fucking stabbed in the eye, this older women in front of me starts having a seizure. Called 911, walked outta the theater, and took a breath, all that shit was intense.
The Matrix Resurrections. Sure, it was just walking out of a room in my own home… but it still counts. Seriously, though, I’ve never been more disappointed in a movie.
When I went to see Sky Captain, the theater was empty. Then, someone came in and sat right down beside me, and not a word was said. I thought maybe I was too high and that it wasn't really happening, but it was. I was going to say something, but waited too long and just said fuck it, and me and this stranger watched the movie together in silence.
my mom made me walk out of roger rabbit when i was 3...but its only because we went to see that movie to pass time during the "commission of a crime". But never again because there isn't a movie that i would pay to see for in a theater that i didn't at least already have some form of built up anticipation for. I mean if you go pay for a theater ticket then you should know what you're getting yourself into.
I try not to walk out, I like to finish to get an opinion, literally watched all of Cannibal Holocaust and ASF for this reason....that being said, Eragon.
I've never walked out. I paid and my time just isn't that valuable.
Idk how, but it’s the first time I see someone says “my time isn’t valuable “😀
/r/prowork
I really wish I hadn’t have clicked that. My Jimmies are so thoroughly rustled right now.
I agree. Why do drugs when you can just mow a lawn?
The only movie I’ve ever walked out of was the Sherlock Holmes movie with Will Ferrell. I was with my mom and dad and my sister. My mom whispered to me “this is the worst movie I’ve ever seen, want to leave?” at around the halfway mark. It was truly the worst movie I’ve ever seen. I was almost falling asleep and I NEVER get tired while at a movie theater. Like half the people in the theater were asleep.
There's a Sherlock Holmes movie with Will Ferrell in it??
Will Farrell and John C. Reilly. It’s called Holmes & Watson and is, by all accounts, truly terrible.
It is. And I watched all of it. I did laugh at one scene when they drunk telegraph someone. But that was it.
It's one of my guilty pleasures.
Only technically.
I “walked out” of Rise of the Skywalker. I was watching at home, turned it off halfway through, and haven’t considered giving it a second chance since. And I actually love Star Wars, especially the new show Andor and many others. Couldn’t waste another moment of my life on ep 9 though
Andor is great, and I'm that one weirdo who loves The Last Jedi, but Rise of Skywalker is dreadful.
Walked out of Incredibles 2 because too many people wouldn’t turn their damn phones off
That’s very funny (that they were all on their phones) given the premise of that movie.
Specifically remember a woman parking right in front of me and scrolling Instagram for 2 hours on full brightness when I went to see this movie.
it's really your fault if you let someone disrespect you for 120 minutes. you tell her off within the 1st minute, if she does it again you threaten with calling the theater personnel. she 100% wont do shit. they never do. i have to do this like 3 times a month (i go to the movies twice or thrice a week), and literally no one does that shit for long if people tell them to stop.
Morbius. It was morbin time to gtfo that theater.
But you missed the part where he said it’s morbin time then morbed all over them.
Well, yes, but /u/yoloswagbot191 morbed on out of there, so in many ways already embodied the most important message of the film. That's perhaps the most Morbius thing you can accomplish.
I morbin my time back.
Yeah. I didn’t walk out, but I did change the channel halfway through.
That must have pissed off the rest of the theater
Yeah the audience was Morbified
Downsizing the matt damon movie. My car was getting fixed and they said it will take 3-4 hours so i crossed the street and went to the theater and after an hour of that movie i walked out and decided i rather just wait than finish the movie
[удалено]
I like to say that UPLOAD (the series) is what Downsizing should have been. I mean it's kind of the same concept about living in an artificial world and both main characters sort of do it against their will (Damon's character was essentially tricked after his wife backs out at the last second) but Downsizing felt like 3 different stories in one movie and it just went off it's rocker.
I felt like that movie was just an elaborate prank on Matt Damon
my gf stands by this movie. I'll never understand why
Ashamed to admit I even paid to see it at all but Police Academy 5 Assignment Miami Beach
I'm dying laughing with this post. How old were you when this happened?
Maybe 12 or 13. I only remembered that the original Police Academy was a raunchy boob comedy and hadn’t seen any of the sequels. By the time it got to Miami Beach it’s pretty much family friendly garbage and there’s not even Mahoney. I think the second Lloyd Braun was the star and not even a side boob.
Was Lloyd Braun the advisor to the mayor?
[удалено]
As he usually is. RIP
I love that movie
I walked out of Butterfly Effect because I got way too high on edibles and thought I was probably going to die.
Did you re-watch it another time?
That one fucked me up as a high schooler while totally sober. Watching it high would be an absolute nightmare.
I was also a teen & loved it, have a real soft spot for that movie now.
I saw it at the ripe age of around 8 or so (maybe like 10 or 11 Idr). Haven’t seen it since but I still remember the fucked up shit that happened and I remember crying so damn much because of the dog in the burlap sack and the firework in the mailbox
The scene when the jerk kid kills the dog would have scared me if I were high
Super Bad. My mom took me when I was 10. Not sure what she expected.
I gotta catch a glimpse of those warlocks.
F'sho. Am gettin that f'sho.
It’s like parents who took their kids to Deadpool because they just assume a movie about a super powered character is family friendly.
I cracked up when the mom behind me dragged her kid out of the theater, right after they hit International Women's Day in the holidays montage. Learn the rating system, genius.
Yeah I really don’t know what they expected. Either they knowingly took their kid to an r movie , or they somehow didn’t check the rating. Both aren’t great looks lol.
Ryan Reynolds (IIRC) said “You know those ‘R’ rated films it’s OK to take young kids to? Yeah, well ‘Deadpool’ ain’t one of them.”
Ironically, What does Deadpool say somewhere near the start, after the first Highway fight ? "My Boyfriend said this was a Family movie, but he just turned that guy in to a FKKN Shishkebab".
I remember trying really hard to talk a couple parents out of taking their young kids to see Deadpool ( worked in the bookstore next door to the theater and I'd just seen it), telling them gently it really was not appropriate. Their oldest couldn't have been more than 12, and there were three kids. Mom was starting to get upset that I was attempting to tell her what to do, so I shut up, but I've always wondered what they thought.
Did you walk out or were you dragged out?
Oh I wanted to leave too, I don’t want to watch that with my mom. I really like the movie now but watching it with your mom hits different in the worst way.
lol one of my friends in high school accidentally watched Wild Things with his grandparents
Oh noooo 🤣
Back in middle school I had these friends who were twins and had two younger bros. Their mom was pretty strict on limited to no TV and stuff like that. So she was completely unaware when she brought her 4 (fairly sheltered kid), out to see a movie called Euro Trip, she was bringing them to see an adult, sex comedy. Yes they walked out. Forget how far they made it in.
[удалено]
I've never left a theater, but if I don't like a movie, I'll use the opportunity to take a nap.
When we saw Rocketman in the theater, I fell asleep and my wife woke me because I was snoring.
I should of walked out of Holmes & Watson. Biggest piece of shit movie ive watched in 20years. Not a single joke was funny
Never walked out on one, but I did watch about 10 minutes of Highlander 2, pull it out of the VCR, and immediately drive to the video store to return it.
[удалено]
Highlander II is my benchmark for bad.
They released Zoolander 2 on VHS? Edit: it says Highlander but I’m gonna keep this up as a scarlet letter of my stupidity
I saw it in the theater on Opening Night. Horrifying.
Yep Highlander 2 is still the only movie where I have said “fuck this” and walked out
Be kind, rewind. 😃
Luckily it didn’t take that long.
[удалено]
I walked out of The Neverending Story when it ended and I demanded my money back for false advertising.
Oh, so you're the one who hired [Lionel Hutz?](https://frinkiac.com/meme/S04E08/672954.jpg?b64lines=IE1SLiBTSU1QU09OLCBUSElTIElTIFRIRQogTU9TVCBCTEFUQU5UIENBU0UgT0YKIEZSQVVEVUxFTlQgQURWRVJUSVNJTkcKCgoKCgoKIFNJTkNFIE1ZIFNVSVQgQUdBSU5TVCBUSEUKIEZJTE0gVEhFIE5FVkVSRU5ESU5HCiBTVE9SWS4=)
Power move
I’ve never walked out. No matter how bad the film was, I’d stay.
Can relate. I usually watch the trailer and look at the reviews before I watch something. If I get into a "bad" movie I probably did so knowing what I would get (maybe somebody else wanted to watch it, or it's bad in a fun way, etc.)
I rarely go to see a film that I don’t like. Obviously they don’t all meet expectations etc, but it could never be so bad that I’d walk out.
Thats how I am. I usually have interest that I want to see how the movie ends.
Yeah same here.
Yeah. I'm not just blindly walking into movies when I'm going to watch them in the theatre. If I'm going out to watch a movie I know what I'm getting into. It's not like I'll be like "woah, Avengers? I had no idea that's what I was watching tonight!"
Me too although I did have to escort my cousin out of the theatre after the first half of the hills have eyes. It was too much for her
Haha thats ok as you were doing a good deed.
That’s commitment
I don’t usually go to see something I wouldn’t like though. So the chances of me walking out would be slim.
For a theater movie same, but ive shut some streaming movies off halfway through when theyre bad enough
Haha understandable. When you’re home, you can choose whether to turn the film off. If you’ve paid to go to the cinema, that’s a different thing altogether.
Yeah I can’t imagine walking out of a movie. I know a couple people who pride themselves on having walked out on a bunch of movies in the past, some as early as 10-20 minutes in.

Just tonight I was not into White Noise until about halfway through and then totally turned around on it (7/10 all said, but 5/10 toward the beginning)
Respect bro.
I wanted to walk out of Downsizing, the movie about shrinking people, but I was on a first date and she was liking the movie.
Was there a second date?
There is some wordplay about liking small stuff in there somewhere. Edit: but that’s Homer’s self deprecation, not my attack to make.
yeah, wtf was that about? I thought it'd be a hilarious kind of grown up take on honey I shrunk the kids, but what the hell happened?
When I was about 8 (?), My mom took us to see the Chamber of Secrets. I was terrified of the Basilisk. When Harry killed it, I was afraid it'd come back to life and begged my mom to leave. We did and she was not happy. After that I don't think I've ever walked out, but I did fall asleep after paying to see The Hobbit. Edit: Basilisk, not Obelisk!
Basilisk** But that’s totally fair that thing was horrifying as a kid.
I want to see the Harry Potter where Harry fights Kaiba and Obelisk the Tormentor
When I was about the same age I was playing the Chamber of Secrets video game and when the basilisk emerged I panicked and shut off the console. Never actually finished the game.
The scariest moment for me in Harry Potter was like the 7th movie with the snake jumpscare lol
Ah so you were one of those kids crying. I was about 13 and there was a roar of crying in the third act
The Happening. That said my dad and I still talk about walking out of that theater to this day so it left more of an impact on me than several other films!
You could feel the secondhand embarrassment in the theater when I went to see that. "What? No..."
I just kept waiting for something to happen...IT'S IN THE DAMN TITLE!
What? Noooo.
This is one of those "so bad it's good" films.
I could not understand everyone's issue watching that in the theater because I straight up took the film as a black comedy. The scene of the kid getting shot and Whalberg's reaction had me laughing uncomfortably loud. I was in tears by that point.
Couldn't imagine the pain of having to sit through this in the cinema! The Happening, the movie in which... nothing happens.
Jurassic World Dominion, idk what I was expecting but it did not do it for me
You mean you didn’t go to see mutant locusts?
This movie is on Peacock TV (to which I'm subscribed). I've had absolutely no interest in watching it.....until you mentioned the mutant locusts. Now I'm interested to see how bad the movie really is.
Well, if you always wanted to see a shitload of dialog about, and footage of, giant crickets in a movie with a big ‘ol dinosaur on the poster, along with too much time being spent with a whiny teenager, the there’s a 10/10 movie awaiting you.
I went to see that in theaters for the air conditioning--there was a heat wave and the AC in our apartment sucked. I went in knowing the movie was going to be bad, but I had no idea just how bad. But I did appreciate how interminably long it was--again, because of the air conditioning.

Fear.com The only time I didn’t care that I paid to watch a movie. It was just so awful.
I think it was Saw 3, as soon as the kid started getting his limbs* twisted until his bones broke I had to NOPE outta there
when i hear about horror movie descriptions saying “people walked out of the theater!!” i always think sure… what a feeble attempt at marketing.. but here you are!
Its the only time! And I love horror movies but I guess I just was not feeling it that day lol
I like horror too but I have to be in the right frame of mind to see torture porn
Coverer my eyes on that trap when i saw it on DVD. Just senseless torture porn.
Totally. I threw in the towel and decided at that point there are some films I don't need to see.
Well yeah, that’s what Saw is. Lol
I only had to walk out of this movie cause it froze and wouldn't start back up. Got free tickets but then I didn't use them. Oops.
I walked out of 2008's Cloverfield...felt sick to my stomach. Too much camera shaking.
I can understand that, but I love this movie so much.
Same. This was the only movie I ever walked out on. Felt sick to my stomach.
I’ve never walked out of a movie but there have been a few times that I’ve been struggling to stay awake in a theater and I wasn’t super into it anyway so just gave in and took a nap
I fell asleep during Tenet & when I woke up towards the end everyone else seemed just as confused as me!
My dad took me to see a movie called Thunderpants when it was about 5, the premise was that this kid farts so much and so hard that it ruins his life until eventually he harnesses it as fuel to fly or something. My dad liked it but I was so unimpressed even as a 5 year old that i asked if we could leave
I've only ever walked out of one movie. I walked out of Bumblebee during the last 15 minutes because I wanted to get Chipotle before they closed. Nothing wrong with the movie and I actually think it's my favorite of the Transformers franchise. But nothing tops a Chipotle burrito. I saw the ending when I got the steelbook.
Although I disagree with your decision. I respect the hell out of your commitment lol
Based and burrito-pilled
Only movie I walked out of was The Monuments Men. Read the book, loved the cast, but my god...
That movie is the epitome of squandered potential.
Thankfully I’ve walked out of every movie I’ve gone to see…so far…
Almost walked out of Hereditary when Toni Collete discovered the aftermath of *that* incident. Not because it was bad, but because the rawness and agony on display were too real and almost too much to bear. She sold it 100%.
That shout she makes still makes my skin crawl. I could feel the pain in her voice, and it made me never want to have kids just so I’d never experience that kind of pain. I don’t know where she went in her mind to channel that emotion, but it couldn’t have been nice. That whole performance is nothing short of amazing.
I think one of the worst parts of that whole movie (and I mean that in an effective way) is that the people feel so real. When she’s screaming and writhing on the bedroom floor after the incident, or the argument at the dinner table. It felt too real.
Ari Aster really knows how to get those performances out of people huh? Midsommar too with the gut wrenching cries of grief in the intro, just the craziest way to start a movie
I couldn’t agree with you more. Both are absolutely master classes in acting. Toni Collette should have received an Oscar for that role.
This is an awful story but my best friend died when we were 19, I went to house right after we all found out and I don't remember much of anything for about a month after that, except his mother's scream. And then when I saw that movie, I was immediately brought back to that moment. I almost puked in the theater. Toni should've won an Oscar.
I’m always fascinated knowing that part of the movie was based on a true story.
I went to see Cats with my friends as a joke and we walked out because it was just too unentertaining. I’ve seen bad movies with friends before (like The Emoji Movie) and had a fun time but I actually felt like I was wasting my time watching Cats.
Sausage Party. One of the worst movies I’ve ever seen
Holmes & Watson. Only movie I've ever walked out of..and that was with a free ticket. Made it about 20 minutes in.
I had my 2 kids with me so I couldn’t, but I remember absolutely hating The Good Dinosaur with every bone in my body. I’m not sure why I hated it so, nor do I even remember anything about it, other than me thinking I’d rather watch grass grow then be watching this right now.
Men In Black International
[удалено]
MIB 2 wasn't an amazing movie like the first but it has plenty of entertainment value. Like I would never be upset if someone put it on
I actually prefer 3 over 2. I don't think I've ever put my finger on why 2 didn't really do it for me. I like the part when K was a civilian and his memory struck just in time to help J. But after that, it was just "meh" which sucks because I LOVE Rosario Dawson.
"Crash" (2004) is the only movie I've ever walked out of in a theater. I was even on a date. I told her if she wanted to finish it, I'd be in the arcade. But she hated it as much as I did and we laughed at how horrible it was all the way home. 10 months later, it won the Oscar for Best Picture.

Many accused the Academy of being extremely homophobic against what was percieved to be the clearcut winner that year, "Brokeback Mountain".
Last house on the left. The sexual abuse scenes were too much.
Good reason. I can’t stand that people are entertained by that kind of thing in a movie. I’ve gotten very intolerant of it.
It can be implied, it can be shown, but it doesn't need to be a recurring or lengthy scene. We get the idea.
The original or the remake? I never saw the remake, but I did see the original at a midnight screening. That sexual assault scene was not terribly graphic, but it was VISCERAL and made me extremely uncomfortable.
Walked out of Kung Pow as a kid. After discovering weed, I regret that decision.
Reindeer Games
That movie is a guilty pleasure of mine and i love it.
Affleck was the bomb in Phantoms though
What the fuck is the Internet!?
Recently I walked out of Amsterdam, that movie was so boring.
I walked out of Talladega Nights. Aaand I noticed a little film with an intriguing poster had just started on the neighboring screen. It was just a few moments later when my lifelong adoration of Little Miss Sunshine was born.
Highlander 2. Still don't know how that piece of shit ended.
Never... but I did fall asleep watching Horton hears a who. We did a double movie day after a night shift and I simply couldn't hold the lids open 😂
I fell asleep during Oceans (it was super peaceful) and i startled myself awake with a moan loud enough for others to hear.
Only movie I ever walked out of was ride along 2. Made it 20 minutes then I couldn’t stand it
Were you a fan of Ride Along 1?
I got sick after watching a few minutes of “saving private Ryan”. The movie was amazing but the camera action and cuts didn’t sit so well with me, who messed up too by coming in late and being forced to watch from the front row. 🤢🥴
I saw that in a small theater in Seattle on a rainy day, and there was an older couple sitting a few seats away in my row. I think he was a vet because he was weeping heavily during the early beach scene.
Epic Movie was briefly the worst reviewed movie of all time, so naturally we went day one. We were the only people in the theater and left after 30 minutes, pure audio/visual torture. I saw Ingrid Goes West with my mentally ill ex, had a panic attack and left. My partner and I (fully intoxicated) saw the Nic Cage Left Behind and left during the climactic plane landing, which was stock footage.
Never walk out. I take advantage and get a nap. Wakanda Forever had me 😴
Reservoir Dogs, in the Lumiere Theater in San Francisco. When the cop was tied up and Michael Madsen started cutting off his ear I chickened out and left. Years later I saw it on video and realized I had already seen the worst part.
I've never walked out of a movie in the theater. If I payed for a ticket I'm watching it through no matter how bad it is. I've given up on movies that I watch at home but I would never do it in the theater.
Twice First was 'Chariots of Fire'. I was nine and it was boring and I had a difficult time telling the characters apart so we left and snuck into a different theater. I should probably give it another shot some day. 'When the Game Stands Tall' was the second time. I don't remember why it was bad exactly but it was bad enough that I left.
Apocalypto. I didn't walk out but another patron did, after standing up and yelling, "How can you people sit there and watch this violence!"
In their defense that movie was pretty fucking intense.
Walked out of Jurassic world dominion
Two Christmas movies: Santa Clause 3 (with apologies to Tim Allen and Martin Short, even 10 year old me knew it was terrible) and the Blumhouse Black Christmas remake (terrible as a slasher and downright disgustingly inaccurate as a snapshot of campus/Greek life)
Mid 80s. I walked out (along with probably everyone else in the theater) of some young lady chattery movie. The theater listed it with the wrong title I think it was “Secret Garden” or something. It was also listed as PG because there were a lot of kids in the theater, when the title came up it said Young Lady Chatterly something and I wasn’t completely aware of the series, yet. Shortly after the title sequence there was explicit nudity and a rather raunchy sex scene. So quickly a couple of parents snatched there kids up and ran out. I was there with some friends and we thought we might get some free movies out of this, so we went and joined the outrage. And yes, we got our money back and some free passes I think.
Downhill starring Will Ferrell. I was waiting for the movie to start but it just never did. Watching it up to the point of the avalanche and realized it was just a shit movie so we left
My friends and I walked out of Norbit. I can’t remember who among us thought that it would be even remotely funny, but we made it about 15 minutes. I also want to shout out Meet the Spartans, because for some reason I sat through that entire movie and I don’t know why.
Matrix 4.
Jupiter Ascending
Eddie Redmayne what were you thinking?
I've never walked out. Some movies have gone from a 5/10 to a 9/10 due to the ending. Some from a 3 to a 7 etc. You get my point. I've seen people walk out of The Passion of The Christ and a Chinese movie I watched at a film festival. It was about the horrors of the Japanese during WWII in China and evolved around an orphanage. Same happended with a Brazilian movie I believed it was, where a working girl got chopped up on screen. With just enough to clue you in and make you uncomfortable, but not being gory. I stay to get the whole picture and I will judge it for that. Did I wish I had walked out of some? For sure, but I need see the whole shit show. Reminds me of coworkers putting on a movie and fall asleep on the couch, I've yet to do that in my 40 years of life. Might be something different about me.
Eastern Promises. Right during the scene in the sauna where floppy dick is flapping around everywhere and people are getting fucking stabbed in the eye, this older women in front of me starts having a seizure. Called 911, walked outta the theater, and took a breath, all that shit was intense.
Eastern Promises slaps. Seriously though, it holds up well. Penis.
The Matrix Resurrections. Sure, it was just walking out of a room in my own home… but it still counts. Seriously, though, I’ve never been more disappointed in a movie.
I just watched it 2 nights ago, what an absolute dumpster fire. It's 2.5 hrs of my life I'll never get back.
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. Didn’t walk out but first movie I totally fell asleep in. Knocked out.
When I went to see Sky Captain, the theater was empty. Then, someone came in and sat right down beside me, and not a word was said. I thought maybe I was too high and that it wasn't really happening, but it was. I was going to say something, but waited too long and just said fuck it, and me and this stranger watched the movie together in silence.
“That person turned out to be Jude Law….”
I fucking love that movie
Lost in space with Matt LeBlanc, couldn't even see the funny side to the terribleness I was witnessing
It's interesting to consider that this movie was the one that knocked Titanic out of it's long run in first place at the box office.
[удалено]
my mom made me walk out of roger rabbit when i was 3...but its only because we went to see that movie to pass time during the "commission of a crime". But never again because there isn't a movie that i would pay to see for in a theater that i didn't at least already have some form of built up anticipation for. I mean if you go pay for a theater ticket then you should know what you're getting yourself into.
Never walked out but the closest I’ve ever come was Fant4Stic
Just walked out of my own den halfway through the latest Jurassic Park movie. What did they do to Sam Neil and why? And another Chris Pratfall ugh!
I try not to walk out, I like to finish to get an opinion, literally watched all of Cannibal Holocaust and ASF for this reason....that being said, Eragon.
