Movies you walked out on or wanted to walk out on

Are there any movies that you walked out on, or wanted to walk out on?

I wanted to walk out of the live-action 2004 Thunderbirds movie because I thought it was boring and stupid and I hadn't/haven't seen the 1960's puppet show so I didn't really care about any of it, but I was seeing it with a family member who really wanted to see it so I was stuck there.

 

Titanic.

At least until the carnage began.

 

Okay, I admit the love story isn't all that exciting but I was still captivated by the costumes and the set design.

 

I've never walked out on a movie.
I paid my money to see it, I'm not walkin' out on it, unless it's really bad & offensive.

 

"Slumdog Millionaire". I must have been experiencing temporary insanity when I went to see it.

I left early for "Funny People" as well. That was a horrible film.

 

Highway of Heartache, an abysmal low-budget indie musical that strove to be ironically bad, Troma-style, but only succeeded in being terrible. I was constantly ready to walk out, but stuck it out to see if it could actually get any worse.

The first 10 minutes or so of Moulin Rouge were so teeth-grindingly bad I almost walked out and demanded a refund, but thankfully it got better.

 

Three movies that I walked out on:

Scarface (1983)
Bolero (1984)
The Doors (1991)


Scarface had an intermission. Wife and I went out for a smoke, opted for not coming back. For the other two, I was with people who stayed. I just hung out in the lobby until they were finished.

 

Titanic was worth waiting through the first half.
I gave up on L.A. Confidential, Scream, Let Me In, Get Shorty, World War Z, Shakespeare in Love, Seven, and The Witch.
I wanted to bail on The Tree of Life but I'm glad I didn't. I love this film.

 

Sliding Doors (1998) - my earliest walk out; couldn't stand more than a few minutes

 

45 years of going to the movies, never walked out on a movie. Never considered walking out on a movie for any reason other than audience rudeness.

I honestly don't understand the sense of "I showed them" empowerment some people attach to the big walkout. (I don't mean YOU, dear current reader, I mean, you know, other people.) You walked out on an inanimate object, after the people you were teaching a lesson to already had your money in their pocket.

 

It's not "I showed them". It's "This movie is awful and I can't stand to sit through the rest of it".

 

I'be wanted to walk out numerous times (among them Breaking the Waves), but I recall doing it only once, at one of those Jackass movies.

 

"Tess"

 

Meet The Fockers. Made Plan Nine From Outer Space look like high art by comparison, IMO.......

 

The Cook The Thief His Wife Her Lover
someone else drove and he went with me to see Branaugh's Henry V, which probably bored him to tears
I saw at least 10 people walk out, tried to doze off, movie was too loud

 

Saving Private Ryan. A little too intense for too long for me.

 

Reservoir Dogs, Nasty.
Twister, unbelievable turgid nonsense.

 

Yeah, I hear you. Some of the violence they show in the movie is so realistic it was making me a little queasy. And then you add in the shaky camera work and the slower shutter speed they used for some of the scenes...

 

Seems to me that it IS just that, for some people. Hence their pride when they retell the story of their walkout to their friends and colleagues. Usually loudly. And often.

 

I wouldn't have minded walking out on "Pirates of the Caribbean" (the third one) and I don't recall which installment of the "Harry Potter" movies, but there was one of those too... My then GF loved those franchises so I went along to them, though I was bored outta my head... Luckily I *was* able to doze off for a bit...

 

Jurassic World.
I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Just that nasty modern film making, that is so bad, it takes you out of the film.

Star Wars: Rogue One
It was seriously like a cheap foreign knock off of Star Wars.

 

Didnt see it in a theater, but in my film class: Videodrome. It was horrible.

 

John Waters' original Pink Flamingos back in the early 1970s.
The 4-way blotter was starting to kick in and I knew I didn't want
to be anywhere near it. Smart move at the time...saw it later on.
