Have you ever walked out in the middle of a movie?

Yoinked from another website! :pac:

As per title, have you ever walked out of a movie mid way? I haven't done it myself but was seriously thinking about it when I went to see Guillvers Travels and I even got into that movie for free!! Awful, awful film. I've always been weary of any "comedy" with Jack Black in it, never taking that chance again!

No, but I have fallen asleep during a few in my time.

I came very close during the steaming heap of excrement that was "Skyline"
Twas pissing rain outside so I stayed put.

Shudder.

^^ me too. Never walked out on one but have fallen asleep.

petes

No but I really wanted to walk out of Slumdog Millionaire.

prinz

Yes once, but can't remember now which one it was, it was that memorable. Good few years ago. Might have been that Wild Wild West thing with Will Smith.

AwayWithFaries

I never have. No matter how bad the film is. It's more out of stubbornness than anything. "I've paid for this I'm not leaving" mentality.

The Spirit.


I waited until I finished my large popcorn and coke.

The only movie I've ever walked out on was 2012. Just an awful movie.

Azureus

I had a UGC unlimited card at one stage and I walked out of a few cuz they were woeful. Sideways I think was one of them. Just wasnt my cup of tea at all.

Fell asleep during a fair few aswell.

Now I make sure its something I really wanna go see because im paying for it

u140acro3xs7dm

I had to walk out mid way through When Harry Ate Sally . I just couldnt wait any longer.

flyton5

Walked out've "Bright Young Things". Twas directed by Stephen Fry and was an absolute steaming pile of horseshít. Luckily it was only like €4 in cause I saw it in Stillorgan.

BizzyC

Airbender... never forgave the gf for dragging me to that...

She wanted to leave aswell, but we stuck it out by laughing at how bad it was...

Great film. People are mostly thick.

littlejp

Only twice.
First time was Euro Trip. Got a free ticket so didn't really mind.
Second one was The Invention of Lying. I love Gervais normally but this was an awful movie. Couldn't stand it.

kfallon

I just don't go to see films.....saves me the hassle of walking out on them

made me feel ill, but i stuck through it

Sanjuro

Yeah, once. Driller Killer. But it was after another 5 movies that day as part of a horror festival. Just couldn't take the noise at 1am, being absolutely exhausted.

I walked out of "get him to the greek"
I knew it would be bad enough but I thought it might at least be mildly entertaining
That's the only one

Novella

Yeah, I have actually. I think it might have been Sherlock Holmes, but I can't really remember. All I know is that whatever it was, it was fuckin' painful and there was no way in hell I could sit there any longer. I was with one of the girls I used to work with and 2 of the guys. The 2 lads stayed, they thought it was great!

Driller killer... Sounds awesome.

IvySlayer

No, but wanted to walk out of Val Helsing.

Greaney

Karate Kid 3....

Oh the humanity!!!

foxyboxer

Alice in Wonderland. Woeful stuff. Starting to despise Tim Burton films.

Blair Witch Project 2. :rolleyes:

Men in Black 2..a sequel too far. Johhny Knoxville tipped me over the edge.

bonerm

Never walked out of a movie but have fallen asleep a few times. Fell asleep during Iron Man and also Sweeney Todd (the latter of which I actually liked).

The biggest walk out I've ever seen was for Dogville. Audience was about 20 at the start and was down to around 6 by the end.

I'd have stayed for that one.

Once many years ago.

Lord of the rings. Only ever saw a bit of the first one. Not for me. This sumed it up for me:

Normally try to stick it out but i actually had to escape from the soul destroying crap that was "Thank you for not smoking".

Pure and utter ****e.

The scene where he slips under the table at the restaurant is particularily impressive.

Hudson Hawk, and considering there were only 3 people watching at the time we felt a little guilty leaving one poor guy on his own who looked at us with a 'save me' plea. Just a mish mash of awfulness.

Always wondered did he stick it out for the last hour.

WindSock

White Chicks. Was screen hopping so didn't realise until it started. Woeful.

Cú Giobach

City of Angles with Nicky Cage, the film I wanted to see was full so popped into that instead, life is just too short to waste with that drivel.

Also Hollow Man with Kevin Bacon, utterly woeful film.

Saw 3D :P

Riddle101

No, i'm of the mentality that since I paid for the movie, it would be a waste to leave during the middle of the movies.

Luckily I've been fortunate enough to see movies that i've always found adequate enough to stay through.

inforfun

Walked out, not that i can remember.
Some of my better naps have been in the cinema though.

Eever

The only ones that I would have walked out on were:

Closer
But I thought the boyfriend was enjoying it and the boyfriend thought I was enjoying it and we both sat there miserable watching a crappy film that we both REALLY wanted to walk out on but didn't want to wreck the others head

The Edge of Darkness
Different boyfriend, similar scenario. Actually he wouldn't have walked out because he couldn't be bothered climbing over people (the cinema was jam packed) but it was so difficult to stay there and sit through it.


Actually I did walk out of Pirates of the Carribean 3 but we went to the bar in the cinema, had a drink, poured some more wine into empty coke cups and went back in to watch the end of it (all our friends had stayed, only two of us had gone out). We're knackers, I know.

I left Alien II thought it was such rubbish, I left my bf there and sat out in the foyer talking to the staff.

Also tried to leave King Kong but since was there minding a group of children from my football club I couldnt really but I stood at the door playing games on my phone instead and that way could make sure none of them left.

cml387

The Killing of a Chinese Bookie.

Walked out after 1 and a half hours (there was apparently another three quarters of an hour to go).

How could a film set in a strip joint be so utterly boring

fakearms123

I walked out of Max Payne, choose better films Marky Mark! The Happening?? come on Mark! Your better than that!

If you had said Alien 3,maybe.

Go on,you were scared out.

Voodoomelon

Fell asleep half way through Transformers 2, friggin noise of it kept waking me up which annoyed me even more.

I walked out of Americian Psycho years ago, the film was too violent and it was tough watching it as I was there on a first date.
Needless to say we didn't see each other again :rolleyes:

Did he even get to drop the hand?

STIG83

Never have walked out on anything, have seen a few turkeys over the years but stuck them to the end.

No, extreme violence and first dates aren't a good mix
