Hang on. You walked out of Hellboy because it had Nazis in it? Be fair, it wasn't ABOUT Nazis in the same way that Spiderman 3 isn't ABOUT Uncle Ben. It has Nazis IN it, but only really at the start. The main bad guys a Russian. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1109 Joined: 8 Apr 2008     | I never take a risk in theatres, tickets are so expensive these days, that I do plenty of research before deciding to go see a movie. I also almost never turn off a movie at home, if I'm not enjoying something, I'll do something else and leave it on as background noise. That being said, there are two movies I had to turn off halfway through. Ocean's Thirteen: Worst movie sequel ever, and as most know, that says a LOT. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 224 Joined: 7 Mar 2008    | I had to leave the theatre during Titanic because I was crying so hard, and I've still had to leave whenever I've tried to watch it. I have never seen the whole Titanic movie to this day, even though I own it... I've never walked out of movie just because it was really really bad yet, and I went to see You Don't Mess With The Zohan. I'm am somewhat of a cheapskate, and I paid for the movie so I'm going to watch it, also my friend was with me and she doesnt agree with sneaking into other movies. |

You didn't know it was a musical, am I right? Dragon Dynasty has to be the worst stuff ever, I didn't last fifteen minutes into that one. I sat down for something campy and low budget, expecting to have a few good laughs, but it was utterly, unforgivably horrible. ps. Goenitz: |

ha, you think you're tough? I sat through epic movie anddate movie andscary movie 4 in one sitting. I have also managed to sit through a movie on the Sci-Fi channel. ...never again... I walked out of saw 3 when I realized it was the same shit they're just repeating themselves they've run out of ideas. They're the simpsons of horror movies. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2570 Joined: 7 Feb 2008 | The only movies I've ever walked out on were Date Movie and Alexander. Both were just SO VERY BAD, but at least Date Movie was shorter. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 94 Joined: 22 Feb 2008 | The second Dungeons and Dragons movie. My mom rented it for me because this was right after I started getting into fantasy stuff. Looking back on it now, it was really, really bad. Not Alone in the Dark levels, but still pretty bad. The dragon in it was SO BADASS but died because of a plant god. I wish I was making that up. Getting back to that Dragon Wars shtick last page, I seriously considered watching it, so I looked up a trailer on YouTube. I don't wanna see it anymore...How in the hell could a 15th century army take down 21st technology? Just evacuate who you can, then carpet bomb the area until all that's left is air and cockroaches. In the same vein, I loved the Eragon novels, but I'm not watching the movie after hearing that the elves don't have pointed ears, and they ignored half the important bits. How could you mess that up?! It boggles the mind. Have dragons and movies ever worked together? |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 100 Joined: 30 Jun 2008 | The last movie that was terrible enough for me to walk out of was Alexander. I've seen plenty of bad movies at the theater, but that one takes the cake. I watched for an hour and a half hoping it would get better. Like a previous poster said "Yeah, I get it he's gay" You don't need to show me another hour of Collin Ferral staring lovingly at wangs to get your point across. Although on a plus I did get to see Rosario Dawson buck booty naked and that was all kinds of awesome. |

Say what? Not flaming, but what's your idea of a good movie? |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 6983 Joined: 28 Nov 2007  | For me, it was the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake, my first attempt at watching HOTD (eventually finished, spending the entire last half laughing my ass off), and my first attempt at watching A View to a Kill (as a James Bond fan, I have to say that movie sucked. Except for Christopher Walken.) |

I didn't watch it at the cinema, but that movie was pathetic. I sat all the way through the DVD because the reviews said it was good only for it to have one of those annoying abrupt endings that you don't even see coming. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1595 Joined: 18 Sep 2007 | I haven't every walked out of a movie because of the movie; I've had to leave a couple of times due to outside stuff (including a medical emergency, yay) but not from the quality of the flick. Part of that is that I'm picky about what I'll watch in the theatre, and part of that is I don't want to abandon a date/group. (And I'm frickin' cheap, come to think of it.) Still, there's been a few that tempted me; that D&D movie (Jeremy Irons, oh, man, why?), Robocop 3, Alien 3... and the closest I've come is getting up repeatedly during Deep Star Six (a hasty Abyss clone, for those who don't know) to loiter at the concession counter. Man, I got so sick from ODing on popcorn from that... -- Steve |

Snakes on a Train, Transmorphers, etc aren't actually movies. There's this one company that makes a cheap knock-off to all the popular releases in the hopes some suckers buy their discs, the wrong ones. They cost under $100K to produce, suck serious ass, and only still exist because Walmart is in on the scam and purposely stocks them. As to D-Wars, don't blame the dragon/movie mix, it was a foreign film, blame the idiot foreign directors/writers who ascribe to the Michael Bay school of thought, which is that "americans" want eyecandy, not plot. |

Except "In the Name of the King". Not spectacular, but good cast, good acting, and if LoTR didn't raise our expectations on fantasy movies so high, it would have come off better. |

Beat Writer  Posts: 185 Joined: 12 Jun 2008 | The last time I walked out of a movie was the Blair Witch Project. I also made a boy from my senior class at high school cry while demanding my money back. Most interesting part of the night was when we all got back to the car and my older cousin (who's idea it was to watch that disaster of a half-assed piece of shit) turned to me and said, "don't you remember that I was the one that paid for all our tickets?" |
Muckraker  Posts: 332 Joined: 3 Jan 2008 | I saw Starship Trooper when I was really young so the gore made me sick. I saw it again and now I really like it. I also sleeped through half of Clerks 2. Damn that was boring. When I woke up I just said NO! |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4432 Joined: 23 Dec 2007  | I don't walk out of theatres because I look into movies and make sure they merit my 10 bucks. THe only incedent wherein I would leave would be movies at home. I didn't care for Rocky, and The Godfather for me was only meh. |

I love that movie. I've never walked out of a movie, though I'm sure I've seen some that deserved it. Hellboy 2, for example. |
Beat Writer  Posts: 148 Joined: 3 Oct 2007 | I found "no Country for Old Men" incredible dull. It had all this critical a claim and praise and when I Watched it I couldn't help but think "this is it?............THIS is the movie?!" IT dragged on .........and on...........and on, and I did'nt see any point in it, it ended up following an uninteresting plot of about 45 more minutes then it should have, and ended about 5 minutes to early "it has an infamous ending that cuts off fairly abrupty, but honesty that was probably the best part of the whole thing :D" |

You're lucky, I actually paid for myself and my ex to go see that when it came out, she felt sorry for me that I'd spent so much on that rubbish. I felt like punching someone lol. |

I never understood this concept. This and things like "don't throw your food away! you're wasting it!" If you're not enjoying it, then why continue enduring it? I walked out of Nacho Libre in the first thirty minutes and The Simpsons toward the end. I can distinctly remember my parents walking out of a movie with me, but I can't recall the name(s). I've never asked for my money back, but I seriously considered it during Ocean's 12. Not because the movie was bad, but because the projection thing kept messing up. It was horrible. |

Paperboy  Posts: 45 Joined: 5 May 2008 | Oscar winners don't seem to be favorites among some people the Escapist crowd. Personally, No Country for Old Men and Syriana are two of my favorites among contemporary cinema. Just my opinion, I know they can seem to drag on a bit |
