Have you ever walked out of a movie (at the cinema)?

Walked out of Holy Smoke years back. My grandmothers took me to see it cause my godfather had a small (very small) part in it. His part was in the middle of the film, and to get to it we had to sit through Kate Winslet standing naked in the desert, pissing on herself, and then having horrible, horrible sex with Harvey Keitel in the next scene. We left as soon as we saw my godfather.

I also slept through Apollo 13. I think I was about 10 when it was at the cinemas. My stepdad took me to the 9:15 session on a Thursday night, and I had school the next day. He sat somewhere in the middle and I sat right down the front. About half an hour into the film I realise the cushions could come off the seats. I put mine on the floor and slept through the rest of the film :lol:

Closest I've come to walking out of a movie was for 'Dreamcatcher' several years ago. I'm yet to have wasted money more than I did paying to watch that. I can't remember how long it went for (seemed like a bloody long movie though!), but about 2/3rds of the way through, I was thinking of leaving, and my 3 mates I was with all looked at eachother at the same time ... we were all thinking the same thing. In all honesty, the only reason we didn't leave was because I just wanted to see how bad that movie could get. You better believe it got more stupid from that point! Evil turd-looking slug-like aliens, a genius who turn out to be the Earth's saviour by in fact being a big friendly alien, ect. My mates and I made a pact that night after it finished - we would never speak the name of that movie again.

You've broken the pact....

No no, I haven't SPOKEN of it ... typing it is technically okay as it never came out of my mouth. It's a little loophole written in fine print!

I don't really understand the whole walking out of a movie thing.

Movies aren't very long, usually less than 2 hours. Generally, if the movie starts out really bad, I'll just be hoping it improves. Some movies completely change tack part way through, so I'd probably be confidently expecting an improvement up until at least the 1 hour mark. After that, I'd be thinking "this movie sucks", I probably wouldn't be concentrating, but it'd be all over soon enough anyway.

Actually, in my entire life I have NEVER gone to the movies and been in a group where we all agreed that it sucked. Generally, I go to a movie cos I know I want to see it, and therefore it's pretty much a certainty that it won't be utterly awful. These days I mostly go with the missus who at least has decentish taste, so we never see a movie which has had awful reviews, for example. Once or twice I've been with mates to an absolute dud I had no interest in, but generally speaking it seems like a total buzzkill to admit it as a group. It pretty much ruins the whole outing.

Epic Movie; terrible, just terrible (although there were extenuating circumstances which forced my departure; I was quite happy to just nap through the last forty minutes in the cosy cool cinema.)


Thankfully I didn't pay to see this one at the cinemas.


Bought a, ah, legitimate copy, back from China and threw it on once I got off the plane expecting something nice and easy to have a bit of a laugh at.

Literally threw it out my window after probably 2 minutes.... that indian bloke from Van Wilder had some dead rodent slapped on his plate, and it was all over.

Never walked out, but considered it during Pearl Harbour, Titanic and The Day After Tomorrow.

Open Water I think it was called.

2 hours of f**kers floating

Oh, that was the most godawful thing i've seen.

Although Alien vs Predator (the latest one) was worse because it didn't have a naked hot chick.
