For me it's Magnolia - walked out after about the 7th hour!!

And Zoolander - the biggest load of sh!te ever. There was a bunch of women behind who were p!ssing themselves laughing (must have been watching a gifferent movie than me) at fu(k knows what.

Opinions welcome

Bard

Loaded Weapon 1,
Species II

TwoShedsJackson

Closest I've been to walking out was Raising Cain. Or Pearl Harbour.

Jim Daniels

A.I

Especially where it turned into Playschool with about 40 mins to go

bombidol

batman and robin

azezil

AI - considered walking out on that one, i know theres' another one, came out sometime last year between july n november, just can't think of it right now.

seamus

Lord Of The Rings

Yah Right!!

I don't tend to go to movies unless I've read a review of some kind about them.

Khynareth

Le Hussard sur le Toit,

Austin Power 2

KdjaCL

Series 7 "the Contenders"

Gotta disagree on both. Zoolander was class, so funny (dumb but good). Magnolia was wonderful. Very well done. Bit long in the cinema alright but it's a great film.

Personally? Never walked out of anything in the cinema, but on video: Toys (Robin Williams). Rented the video. Watched half. Stopped. Brought it straight back. What an awful POS.

Happiness,

It was sucking all life from me as I was sitting there. Its a worthless, miserable, nasty, pointless film and I plan to hunt and kill everyone involved with its making.

But if you like that kind of thing it's great!

Frank Grimes

Only for the fact that I was there with my mates, I would have walked out of "Any Given Sunday". Possibly one of the most boring movies I have ever paid to see.

Lex_Diamonds

I'd never walk out of a film because I would always remember how much I paid to get in to see it!

However, I nearly waked out of Mission to Mars, i'm sure nobody is going to disagree there;:D and Outbreak because I started to think I had the disease in the film and began to feel very ill indeed.

Mills

I've never walked out of anything in the cinema, mostly because I never go alone and I wouldn't want to walk out and leave my friend(s) there on their own, and I'd have to wait outside for them anyway. Also I'd tend to read a review or see something on film2002 before I go to see something in the cinema, and I'll have a fair idea what I'd like, anything that looks like it might be really bad, but might be good, I leave for DVD rental.

Pugwash

have to agree with any given sunday, utter shít.

dont ask me why i went to it in the first place.

the mummy returns, simply coz it was bollóx.

unbreakable was cringe-worthy aswell.

joey D

jayz, I walked out of magnolia too, during the intermission, i wasn't sure whether the film was over, but it was complete bollix in any case.

b20uvkft6m5xwg

Notting Hill

and only but the fact i fell asleep...
The House of Mirth (Gillian Anderson, Dan Ackroyd)

As Seamus said, I normally read a few reviews before I go see anything:)

Karl Hungus

Eyes Wide Shut.
I can't beleive nobody has mentioned that yet.

Not that it was bad, it was an interesting idea, but just completely over-long and such an anti-climax.
And that Mission to Mars was indeed dreadfull.

Unbreakable I though was brilliant.

Mr E

Off on a slight tangent, but have you ever fallen asleep during a movie (and it has to be in the cinema - movies on TV don't count!)

I actually dozed off 10 minutes from the end of 24 Hour Party People last Saturday night !!

sceptre

Fell asleep during Event Horizon in the flicks. And on Sky (twice). Didn't put it on when it was shown on TV3 last weekend as I was expecting people over.

Snored like crazy during Pulp Fiction in the cinema (went to see it after a college society booze-up). What was worse was it was a preview put on by UL film soc (so it was all the movie fans listening to my snoring near the front, in between the other two pissed lads who persisted in having a loud conversation on how they thought it was "pretty good really")

Didn't walk out of AI but perhaps should have

When I think about it I don't think I've ever walked out of a movie

The_Bullman

worst move ever, though i didn't walk out. after all it cost me money. The avengers. actually i think i stayed to look at uma thurman some more.


and a move that i almost slept through was, Bringing out the dead with nicholas cage. ok movie- I was just tired at the time.

Referring to other mentioned movies. eyes wide shut, whatever was going on in that movie went over my head, way over. either that of it didn't and it just sucked. Any given sunday wasn't that bad a movie, in fact i quite enjoyed it(when i rented it).

Spunog UIE

Ali. he couldn't feckin punch (will s. of course), just looked like a fool. t'was a tiny bit better at it at the end but up till then they had fancy camera angles to make him look 'ard. ****in pussy. ahhh sleepin through that film.

Pencapchew

Can't believe that jeepers creepers hasn't got a mention yet!

Left after 30 mins.......what a pile of over-rated ****.
:mad:

Giblet

I've never personaly done it but, I was watching 24hr party people, and there was 10 people in the cinema including me and two of my mates. Five of them left. there was two in front of us and that was all. I thought the film was great, but i suppose you really do have to know about the bands in it.

Makaveli

Had to go to Shakespeare In Love with my class when I was in transition year, I slept through most of it, I would have left only I wasnt allowed it being a school thing and all.

Lex_Diamonds

Have any of you ever tried to get a refund after walking out early?

Mr E

First half of Jeepers Creepers was great, the rest was ****e.
Should have walked out of Ali - very very boring.

Never saw magnolia or eyes wide shut (must look out for them on Sky - they're both played at least 3 times a week).

Some 'oirish' comedies have almost been worth leaving too... Waking Ned, The Most Fertile Man In Ireland, some crap about a barber shop (catholics cutting protestant hair or summat.... can't remember what its called), and that recent one about the winning-horse-picking-floating-head-in-a-jar (once again, can't remember what its called).

Jeepers creepers

koneko

Fell asleep? Heh, only once. I was desperately hung over, went to see Perfect Storm. Not only was it a ****e boring awful film, the waves splashing all over the place made me even more tired than I already was, so I dozed off for a few minutes.

I'm avoiding seeing AI and Ali. Beautiful Mind? It's probably good, but I hate Ron Howard and his forcing people to cry thing to win an oscar. "Let's all make this as sappy as possible, and maybe I'll win one this time!"

Wook

fire walk with me (twin peaks 'The movie') i hated this so much!!
(never seen the series before i went in)

bombidol

The great Gatsby with redford, well i swear.. i nearly slashed my wrists in the jax it was that bad,
"Shirts, Such Wonderfull shirts , Sobsob" AARRRRRGGHHHHHHH!!!!


Bomb

the fnj

Jeepers Creepers, Ali G and American Sweethearts.

All rubbish. All seen in the last year. All got to my rage.

As for Series 7 the Contenders I though it was great.

WHAT are you mad???

Goodshape

A lot of pretty decent films being mentioned, IMO.

I've never actualy walked out of a film, but Godzilla and Junior (the Arni 'comady') were fúcking painful to sit through.

BlitzKrieg

-Wierd couldnt post in other forums????


Anyway Films i wanted to leave but didnt include:


Just Visiting...ahhhh!!!

Jingle all the way....WAHHHH!!!

And

Independance day...anything will smith say which is not a punch line??

Yeah, I agree. I was there sitting in the cinema thinking, "Ah come one, just kill 'em and get it over with please! Please! I've paid money for this! They are from the shallow end of the gene pool, they deserve to die!" At least an hour too long.

Fell asleep during "The Draughtsman's Contract" (I think) years ago. Nearly walked out on "Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult", but it was so short I didn't need to. At least 5 couples walked out of "Color of Night" - I get the impression it was the guys felt intimidated.

phobos

I've heard AI being mentioned a couple of times, and have to say that I actually enjoyed that movie. It's not my favourate, and doesn't live up to a movie with such a title (could have been mega, when you think about it).

Now one movie that I nearly walked out of was Story Tellers (I think it was called), twas out a couple of months back. Actually the night we went to see it, twas in something like Screen 10 in the Omniplex in Galway (so even the cinema tried to warn us beforehand). But the funny thing was that there was only myself, 2 mates, and about 5 other people (who sat near the front with us at the back). Once we agree it wat the biggest piece of microwaved poo we'd ever seen, instead of walking out we silently stood up, and pretended to act out some of the scenes. We kept that up for about 15mins (nobody noticed). Twas the biggest laugh I've had in a cinema, and also a very odd way for a bunch of twenty somethings to behave (but you're never too old to be a child, I say).

;-phobos-)

EL_Diablo

A word of warning: if you go to the cinema make sure you see a film you have heard of at least. Went a while back with a mate of mine but what we wanted to see was sold out. We didn't want to just go home so we picked a film at random. So we bought our tickets and went in. The place was fairly full so we expected it to be good. Then the credits start rolling and one of them says: Written by: Jane Austin. Got that kind of "Ah Fúck why me!" feeling. I know some people like Jane Austin and all but its absolutely not my cup of tea one bit.
And then it started. Biggest load of bull plop I have ever had the misfortune of seeing. Well the first couple of minutes were anyway. I figured I paid to use this seat for an hour or so, so I sat back and had a kip for a while and woke up just in time for the end credits.

GreenHell

Angel Eyes, walked out after 5 minutes, late showing and only movie on, I feel dirty.

Gordon

Once but can't remember the name of the film. It was in black and white in Poland maybe and was about the war and tanks and boringness. I fel asleep during the Avengers, what a pile of nothingness.

bandit

duece bigalo male gigalo....worst....film....ever......

DeVore

AI.

I wanted to walk out for the last 30 mins.

One guy did and I felt sooo bad about just sitting there being polite etc. Excrutiating pap.

DeV.

DeVore

Oh yeah, on a variation of this movies OTHER people walked out of ...

I'm quite a fan of art-house movies and from time to time drop down to see a flick in the IFC
I went to see My Own Private Idaho, which while strange is actually pretty good. Its got Keanu Reeves and River Pheonix in it and the acting by both of them is way above what they normally put out (particularly Reeves)...

So, anyway, down I sits and I've a vague idea what the film is about. (both play gay hustlers who are just having a laugh with life until they inherit money).

Then about 6 rugger-types march in and sit about 4 rows ahead of me. Popcorn in one hand, supersized cokes in the other.
I'm thinking... oh oh...


Anyway, the film starts and its well shot and acted but theres a hustler scene within the first five mins. The lads look in total shock and sit there mortified. This proceeds for another 5 mins while it is evident that both the leading men are a little light on the loafers.

Next thing one of them pipes up "Jaysis, der both bleedin fags!"
And the lot of them get up and march out, looking around them as they go.

The film was great but that was the most amusing bit!!

I thought rugger types wouldn't mind. Says me knowing DeV went to a rugger school.

Karma

Part of my crimes against humanity is renting REALLY bad movies and watching them with friends.
The net result is me being banned from renting for a few weeks.
Lastest Humdingers included:
Driven---Really bad movie LOOSELY based on fact with some good crash scenes (makes for about 5 minutes of ok watching)

Deep Rising (A personal favourite as a worst movie ever award)
What can I say, I thought it was funny.
Such other classics as MOON 44 with ACTION Superstar Michael Pare (who?)

I off to rent some more bad movies...

"HIGHLANDER 5, ALRIGHT!"

TwoShedsJackson

Similar thing happened to me at My Own Private Idaho in UCI Tallaght. At least half of the 150-odd audience had walked out by the time it had been on an hour, and about five minutes later these three slappers down the front erupted in a chorus of 'Jasus!! River Phoenix is GAY!!!!!!!' (like they'd just realised) and stormed off.

kitton

Black Hawk Down,a load of total crap that i had been bitching about to people for weeks and just went to see so i could bitch about more fully!ARGH!
should have walked out of Bless This Child,worst film i've ever had to sit through,like a really crap LONG non-scary exorcist!

Felix Randel

actually black hawk down was an extremely decent movie. It didnt pretend to be anything more then it was, and should be respected for that.

Id rate it very high on the films ive seen so far this year.
With american history X being my favourite(i know its older then a year)

suppafly

Yeah i walked out of A.I and went to a different movie(Swordfish- good movie!! Halle Berry is fine!!) and my friends who satyed in there to watch the rest of it said that it just got worse. Oh ya and I had to take my sister to see spy kids - yeah that was a great movie!! *sarcasm*

Karl Hungus

Queen of the damned... :mad:
