I just walked out of a movie for the first time today.

As the title suggests, I just walked out of a movie for the first time today.

I've seen some bad movies in the past, but today, I saw a movie SO bad I could no longer sit through it.

I saw Due Date, with Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis. I absolutely HATED this movie. I couldn't sit through it for more than an hour. Once Jamie Foxx showed up, I just said "Done", and walked out of the theater.

So, yeah, have any of you ever walked out of a horrible movie before?

I walked out of Red, was going to walk out of Pearl Harbor but instead I fell asleep, walked out of the Phantom.

 

[Best of the 3]

Nope, but I have slept through a bad one. Luckily I'm a really quiet sleeper.

 

[The Night Shade]

No never mostly because i only go to the movies when there's a film i really want to see if not i just wait for the DVD release

Also if you admit that you walked out of a movie it's fine

 

[ajh93]

no because i usually find out if its good or not before i go see it...or i figure out if its something i'd be interested in in the first place.

(and i didn't think Due Date was that bad;pretty average when it comes to buddy comedies)

 

[Vault boy Eddie]

I avoid going to the theater as much as possible so no. I'm not a movie guy, i'm more into tv series.

I think the only movie I've ever walked out of was Hostel. I usually have the sense to check out reviews before hand to make sure it's something I'll remotely like at least. Also, I payed to see it, so unless it's particularly terrible, which Hostel was, I'll stick around.

I know it's a waste of time sitting through a movie I hate... but damn it, if I paid for the ticket I'm sticking with it until the bitter end.

If it's just on a DVD at a friend's or something that I didn't buy, I'll be a bit more proactive in showing my displeasure at the shitty movie. And yes, I did leave the room during the snooze-fest that was March of the Penguins on DVD. I like Morgan Freeman, but... really, Morgan? It's not like he needed the money...

I walked out of Avatar.

Thats not even flame bating, I just didnt like it. It was something I had seen all too often and when its only major gimmick was it was in 3D and directed by James Cameron, I just said no.

Luckily a friend let me in I snuck in, so I didnt lose any money. Besides, its where i worked, so i wouldnt have had to pay anyway.

Due Date was very obviously going to be the Hangover 2 (even before Hangover 2 comes out). I can't wrap my mind around how you could not expect it to be exactly how it was.

I haven't walked out, since I'm only ever at the theater with other people, but there are many that I have been bored while watching, or just ignoring the film as it goes.

I sat through God damn Battlefield Earth AND AVP2 in the same day. With my friend at home, of course. But still. If I can manage that...

 

[Rattler5150]

I almost walked out of the Max Payne movie

 

[Gaz6231]

Last time I walked out of a movie was when my flatmates were all watching Avatar in the next room. I came in to watch for a while, until they started stealing blowing up the native americans' big blue aliens' land tree. It was at this point I noticed one of the old guard of movie clichés was making an appearance; Mouthy Butch Latina Who Is Usually Called Ramirez or Something. As soon as she uttered the words 'I didn't sign up for this shit' I laughed and left the room.

But... but... why? More to the point... how? I think my brain would have melted and started oozing out my ears...

 

[Sevre]

I walked out of War of the Worlds many years ago. It was pretty awful. I just got bored and left, besides we know what happens in the end anyway.

Here's the thing, I LOVED the Hangover, and I did indeed think this was going to be in the same vein. However, there's a key difference with this movie: It wasn't funny. At all.

Really, I just found it unpleasant. Downey Jr. was nothing but a complete ass, and Galifianakis, while playing a similar character to the one from Hangover, was simply not fun to watch. He just didn't have the same charm he did in Hangover.

Pretty much all the jokes failed miserably. Without spoiling anything, there's a joke in there about Iraq war veterans. Not only is it NOT funny, it's insulting.

Maybe I just went in with inflated expectations, but this movie just did NOTHING for me.

Twilight.

Although, to be honest, it was a DVD.

And strangely, I was able to sit through it's sequels. And they were stupider than the first one.

I never walked out of a cinema (waste of money), but a lot of people left during the movie Bruno
