I think it's safe to say that we've all seen movies that we didn't like. Most times we sit though them, but other times we just can't take it anymore. Have you ever found yourself actually not wanting to watch a movie anymore? Have you ever stormed out of the theater and demanded your money back, or hit the eject button, or told Blockbuster that the dog ate the DVD even though you really burned it to save the human race some trouble? Remember, this is for movies you fast forwarded, left during, or otherwise stopped watching.

Some examples for me include:
Bio-dome: "What happened to Pauly Shore? Oh that's right...THIS happened."
Kingpin: "When am I supposed to be laughing?"
Straw Dogs: "How long is this? People like this drawn out crap? I though Sam Peckinpah made GOOD movies. Where's the fast forward button?"
Syriana: "Okay...Damon's goona rise to the top of the Oil food chain, Clooney's goona have your typical cloak and dagger stuff, and the Arab is goona be a terrorist. NEXT!"
The Good Shepard: "Christ, I could be finally beating Time Crisis right now. In fact..."
Meet the Spartans: "If I have to hear the obnoxious laughter of those kids in the third row one more time over something that's not funny at all then.... Oh, there they go again, I'm leaving."
Apocalypto: "I get the Mayan language thing but...uh...so tired. Maybe I can just rest my eyes.... Oh, head chopped of, I guess that's kinda...*Zzzzzz*."

Edit: I should probably mention that I'm a projectionist, so I can see as many newly released films as I want for free. I suppose it would be different if I paid money or sneaked in.

I turn off bad DVDs frequently. But I've never walked out of a movie (well once but that was to collect my mam from work) if you leave early they win. They got your money and you didn't see anything. Plus you can ruin the ending for people you don't like.

I have never actually walked out of a movie.

Heck, I even stayed through the entirety of Ghost Rider.

I've sat through nearly every film I've seen. It helps make the list of reasons why the director and the director's head/genitals should be separated.

Never walked out on a movie but I have stopped watching DVDs, only because I had to do something else. I usually get back to watching it eventually.

A few years ago when the first Americanised 'The Grudge' was in cinemas I went to see it with some friends, one of whom a self confessed pansy when it comes to horror flicks. He ended up leaving half way through the movie.

We haven't let him forget about it. Poor guy.

"Dragon". By far a beyond terrible movie that should never have been released in the history of man. If the two scenes (both conveniently in the same patch of woods), drolling non-stop dialog, generic characters all wearing the same clothes, grade-school acting, and only five minutes of badly animated dragon don't get you to turn it off, the absolutely horrific X-rated previews before it will. I've never seen a movie that criminally uncool bad before, and I've never seen previews that violent. No one wants to see a slowly driven out scene where some guy casually cuts his face off, then gouges out his own eyes in gory bliss, followed by 90 minutes of badly dressed men and women talking to one another endlessly.

What makes that movie even more criminal is that any kid could randomly point to it in a video rental store and the parent would assume it's a random, harmless Sci Fi network program. The box cover looks so completely innocent. Then the kids sit through the previews alone and have to visit a therapist for the next few years.

This dvd was so purposefully evil that it refused to leave my dvd player. I got past the previews and forced myself through a few minutes of the movie, itself. But when I tried to turn it off it refused... And when I attempted to eject it tried to set the player alight in fiery depths.

Seriously, stay away from it. This is not a terrible 'b-rated' fun movie like, say, "Lost Skeleton of Cadavra" or "Space Truckers". This movie reminds you that there are bad movies out there that are simply bad.

Now that I have ranted, I had to turn off that one New York Godzilla movie recently. CloverField I think it was called. Watching the shaking camera made me horrifically ill. If I had to walk out on a movie, should I be unfortunate enough to buy a ticket, that is one I would have definitely demanded a refund on.

I walked out of Borat...didn't find it that amusing.

I can usually tell how much I'll like a movie by trailers and the list of talent involved, to date the only movies I bought on recommendation and threw out were "Prizzi's Honor" (never though Nicholson could do a bad movie) and "There's Something About Mary" (Retarded beyond the worst Adam Sandler movie, and I fucking HATE Ben Stiller).

walked out of "28 days later" cause i had a seizure.

I liked Cloverfield, had a charm to it even if it was shaky.

A movie that I hate... Ever seen Snakes on a Train or Transmorphers, how about Alien vs Hunter? No? Good, they're all horrible pieces of ass.

I saw a movie, Dragon Wars, recently and it just further proves that dragons and movies should stay very far away from each other. Having a dragon in a movie is fine, hell it's downright awesome. But having a movie revolving around dragons is basically writing 'THIS MOVIE SUCKS' in large bold text on the cover and back.

I found Dragon Wars watchable, yet very terrible. It has a ridiculous storyline, ancient mystical cults with medieval weaponry that can overpower modern forces (not to mention that they all die near the end in like 5 seconds when the main hero glows for a second and then kills everyone) and wierd CGI. It suffers from, to quote Yahtzee here on the Escapist, Farenheit Syndrome (if you're confused about this go watch Yahtzee's videos, they're awesome). The only redeeming aspects of the movie if the fact that it's probably the only movie where you can watch dragons fight Black Hawk helicopters in midair, which is very awesome and surprisingly well done for this movie, and 2 enormous snakes fight and then an enormous snake fight a chinese dragon. Don't buy or watch Dragon Wars unless you are a dragon lover like me, you won't like it otherwise.

I'll stop watching movies on tv all the time; I set a high bar for things that are basically free. But when I'm in theatres watching a lousy movie, generally someone has talked me into it and paid for my ticket, so it feels like it would be rude to walk out. But it doesn't stop me from closing my eyes and focusing on the song in my head.

I had to walk out of Master and Commander because it made me sea sick. The movie was good but that rocking back and forth ruined it for me.

I also feel asleep during Alexander. Who would have thought that Alexander the Great was so boring.

I got up and walked out of Alexander. I love the history of the guy. But I felt "I get it, he's gay. Move the hell on!" They had made the point, and then proceeded to beat it t death. Wheres the scene of him leading his army to victory with a frigging arrow in his chest?

I've never walked out of a movie. Then again I generally try and watch movies that I like. It tends to work for me.

Otherwise, TV and DVD I do it alot. Damn, how did Ultraviolet even get made? Or Aeon Flux?

The only movie I can remember walking out of was the musical version of The Producers during the last ten minutes.

im ashamed to say it but i didnt really watch AvP 2. oh i tuned in for the battle scenes. but who wants to watch two alien races fight each other when you are drunk and playing suck and blow (its not as dirty as it sounds, then again maybe it is) also being the only guy in the room.....

Eragon. I'd never read the books before the movie, thank goodness, or I probably would have been more upset- I hear they're great novels. But it was a DREADFUL movie.

Brokeback Mountain. I love Heath Ledger. I'd always wanted to be in a movie with him one day, you know, as his sexy costar who he has an affair with. Then he went and died. I also am fond of Jake Gyllenhall. Hated them together in this movie. I've gone on total rampages about this movie before and how much it sucked, but I'll summarize here.

Now, when I say "I hated Brokeback Mountain," (and yes, I actually do mean "hate," a word I don't throw around) people say "You just don't like it because they're gay," No. They fail at life. Don't try to project society's reflection on homosexuality onto a movie review. Brokeback Mountain was a terrible movie because it had a terrible, uninteresting plot.
Exposition: Jake and Heath get a job together as cowboys.
Rising Action: The guys have sex. This little bump of a rising action leads up to... oh wait, nothing! There was no climax!
Up on the little mesa the rising action got us to: The guys go home and get married like normal men but still meet up for "fishing trips." Their wives get antsy and their marriages go down the drain.
Resolution: Jake dies. There. Thank the goddess, that put an end to that.

... and HeartagramMan, suck and blow is freakin' sweet.

After the first 30 min of enchanted, I left the cinema early and felt like i've been ripped off. I still HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHY I WENT WATCH THAT FUCKING RETARDED MINDLESS PIECE OF A SHIT FILM!

Yeeeah, I just didn't even bother with that one.

My friend was dragged by his girlfriend to see that film, as were a lot of poor souls.

And then I wonder how that worked in the first place. I can't get my boyfriend to do anything he knows he won't enjoy. Anything. Ever. So I get surprised when other guys willingly submit themselves to a situation they know they'll hate.

Unholykrumpet:
I walked out of Borat...didn't find it that amusing.

Same 'ere. It's like they gave a 10-year old a camera and let him annoy people the whole time with childish 'gags'.
It was basically one long candid camera-episode with an offensive 'main character', but without any fake laughter running in the background. I suppose the audience were supposed to have that job, but I myself just found the 'jokes' dumb and unfunny..
Maybe it's because I have a higher standard (as in, I don't laugh at gay/sex/turd jokes), hrm.

Are we done yet. I don't know how I ended up watching it, But this is the most unfunny, stupid, poorly written film ever. For example Ice Cube "You be to young to be going to da mall!" Girl#1 "Daddy, you like one of dem prison guys!" "Welcome to alcatraz" WHAT? how does that make sense. No mall = Dad in prison? This seems like some one took an episode of the three stooges, and placed Ice Cube as all 3 of them. Oh, gee, how funny. He has to go to a meeting (In A sports Jersey), and some how, upon leaning into the fridge to get milk, an entire slice of pizza sticks to his shirt. Tee hee. Then someone flips a frying pan full of eggs, oh gee, the sheer hilarity, I just can't take it.

Them(or Ills as it was put on the screen).
It was advertised as Them but when we(me and a group of friends)got into the cinema we found out it was French with English subtitles, it wasn't even that scary for a horror movie, two adults got pwned by a group of little children, WTF. We sat through the whole movie making up our own plot and words for the characters, that was funny.

Don't worry, I'm gay and I hated Brokeback Mountain. However, I'm English and hence too polite to walk out of a theatre other than to go for a wee - I paid money to rent that seat in a dark room so I may as well get my moneys worth no matter what.

Me and my friends stormed out of King Kong as they were about to leave the Island (the remake, I'm not quite old enough to have seen the original in a cinema) by getting up, playing a phone ringtone loudly, pretending to answer and declaring it rubbish in vein of Dom Joly (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21lOpV5c2OQ in case you don't know him). Probably a tad annoying for those enjoying it, but I was about 13 and a little silly.

I don't walk out of a movie if it is bad, but i will ask form my money back. (i did work once!)

The only movie I have REALLY considered walking out of the Theatre is give up the cash
so I would be paying someone NOT to watch it was Van Helsing.

Other movies I manage to sit through without leaving were 'Last Action Hero', 'Cliffhanger',
'Dumb and Dumber' but last and most definately least 'Street Fighter'.

Although those movies are about a decade old; Now most movies that I have seen at the
theatre I have been able to take away something from.

Once in a week there's a SneakPreview-Night around here I usually go to. Given that you don't even know what (mostly crappy; yesterday it was Narnia) films you get to see I'd say that I haven't walked out of a movie is something I quite proud of. (I would've walked out of Sex'n City if it had come, lucky me it didn't)

To be fair, the good thing with this particular sneak-night is that the audience picks up scenes from the movie and turns thaem into jokes, some of them quite good ones. (The same kino has a second sneak, same movie but the audience there isn't that big with jokes.)

so long

I would have walked out of AI but my wife was enjoying it and as much as I would like to leave her in a dark room sometimes I figured I might get some that night...

I walked out of superman returns going in expecting a super powered death battle and ended up getting a super powered Dawson's Creek

I walked out of hellboy when I realised it was about Nazis. Knowing I wouldn't get my money back I decided to see another movie so I picked a screening room at random and I sat and watched Saw.

lost in translation.............booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooore.

Sweeney Todd was a piece of XY Bovinus Excrement

No Country for Old Men. This movie sucks, I simply changed the room to wacht other movie.

Meet The Spartans was the worst piece of utter trash I have ever started to watch. It is a rarity that I turn a film off because of it's quality and I could only endure the total garbage until about half way through. Good job I was watching I pirated copy and could just turn it off, although I still felt like asking the film studio for money in compensation for watching that much of it.
