I never have. Once a movie goes bad, I have to see how bad it can get, for posterity.
In “Mother” there were a couple of Manc women at the back who were either in there to see J Law or thought it’d be a regular horror movie to watch after the pub. They kept reacting to the movie throughout - at first because it was boring, and then with incredulity at what was happening onscreen. They’d only had enough though by the baby cannibalism scene.
I literally fell asleep and started snoring during "At Eternity's Gate", the one where the Willem Dafoe looking up meme is taken from. It was so boring... My girlfriend poked me in the ribs and I woke up to people around me laughing at me.
Wow, I never knew Jimmy from Downton Abbey was in Eragon. Goddamn, and Jeremy Irons and Djimon Hounsou? This movie was stacked and yet it failed so hard. Bad writing or what?
I wish that I had walked out of D-War /Dragon Wars back in 2007. That movie was such a piece of shit that I begrudge the minutes of my life that I'll never get back. There's like five cool minutes of some wyverns flying around fighting helicopters and the rest isn't just bad, it's boring. Go watch Reign of Fire instead and see Matthew McConaughey get absolutely unhinged. Definitely the superior trashy dragon movie.
Robocop. When the bad guys kills Murphy a lot of people walked out the theater. Was enough for them. I keep watching the movie, I was 13-14 at the time, and quite enjoying the film. Animatronics was nice back then and the plot, where a guy die working and someone bring him back to keep working, was ok.
I've never walked out of a movie, but I remember watching people walk out of Ong Bak because they were pissed that it wasn't in English.
I've definitely been a few movies where I should have walked out. I watched Highlander 2 in the cinema for example which is probably one of the worst movies I've sat through ever.
No one mentioned this garbage ? Dragon Ball Evolution (2009), ,
i did the error to watch Eragon until the end though,
I should finish the Tetralogy though ,
My wife, son and I walked out of Will Ferrell's "Holmes and Watson". Terrible.
I left halfway through An American Werewolf in Paris. London was a friggin classic. Paris was poorly acted, treated the audience like idiots, and was campy as hell (and not in a good way).
I remember David Cronenberg once saying in an interview that when Crash screened at Cannes, there were times you couldn’t hear the movie over the sound of people storming out.
Some people walked out of that Dragonball live action movie, but I stayed because I was enjoying my rage.
Just a few weeks ago: Madame Web.
I walked out of American Pie, which I entered by mistake. Got it confused with American Beauty. Talk about culture shock.
There was a movie I saw with my gf at the time, I want to say it was Alexander (2004) but I think it was something else. Alexander was pretty bad. The theater was empty so instead of leaving she gave me a handy, so not all was lost.
It might have been The New World (2005).
Edit: it was The New World. Also I came into a Panda Express bag, not 100% sure why we had it or how we got it in. I guess we finished up our lunch in the theater. Wanted to elaborate so nobody thought I just came on the back of the seat in front of me or something. I'm not a barbarian.
I was at one too. but it wasnt cause the movie was terrible, it was cause the projectionist was.. Movie was horribly out of focus, and about 7 feet too far to the left, and down too low that you could only see the top half of the film.
Tiny little shithole theatre refused refunds for it, too. It comes as no shock that it was bulldozed a few years later.
I stayed as well as most of the audience but when I sat for Kill Bill, at least 10 people got up and walked out when O-Ren Ishii took the head off Tanaka.
I always considered Kill Bill v1 an "in-genre parody," it's supposed to be over the top and ridiculous! I was laughing the whole time!
I can only think of one. The original movie of The Barnyard. It's a kids movie, of course, and it was never going to be great, but kids were asking to leave that movie. That's impressive.
Not a terrible movie by any means but Doctor Sleep. Poor elderly folks just weren't prepared for certain events
Tree of Life (2011)
I was into weird movies at the time, and still am, so I went alone to some small theater that was showing it. A few people walked out in the middle of the movie because after a full hour, nothing noteworthy actually happened. At the end of the movie when the lights went on (and still nothing actually happened the whole movie) everyone who was still there looked around in confusion and just started leaving. I had no answers either.
