Have you ever walked out of the cinema during a movie?

I went to see Calvary last night and about 40 minutes into film two people got up and left. now, I enjoyed the movie myself (thought Brendan Gleeson was great in it) but have actually walked out on another movie myself only a month ago. The film in question was the so called comedy The Stag, another Irish flick. Didnt find any of the characters likeable, hated the phoney accents of a few of the cast and didn't get one solitary laugh.

Have you ever walked out during a screening? Have you ever seen multiple people do the same? Ever been bould enough and asked for a refund? Your stories please.

Yep, I walked out of Wedding Crashers. What a terrible movie and worse cast.

Walked out of get him to the greek, and the counsellor

The counsellor! Seriously. Biggest load of sh!te I have ever seen. wtf!
I thought it would be cool action stuff not sitting around bitching about women and then women being bitchy with no explanation of how these random characters even knew each other or why they would be socialising when they clearly didn't know each other or like each other waaaat

Lord of the rings return of the king, i thought it was just over, little did i know there was a whole hour and a half left.

Yes I did........ But that was because my idiot brother went to my house opened my front door and let my girlfriends new puppy run out the door so we had to spend the night chasing the puppy around the bloody town

Also "Get him to the Greek"

Walked out about 30 minutes in to Battle: Los Angeles. Quite possibly the worst film I've ever paid to see.

Na, never. I'm one of those types that says fcuk it I paid good money for this and I'm staying here whether I'm enjoying myself or not.

I walked out of the same movie three times.

Them supersize drinks, they don't half fill the bladder!!

Confessions of a shopaholic.

My own fault I suppose, I hate chick flicks!

TwoShedsJackson · 17-04-2014 03:07PM

Never.

Highly tempted though during Pearl Harbour, and Raising Cain.

Saw 'My Own Private Idaho' in the UCI in The Square back in the day. At least 75% of the audience had walked out before it had ended, including one yoke that got up, bellowed 'JAYSSSIIIISSS, RIVER PHOENIX IS GAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!' in the most skanger accent of all time, then stalked out.

Not me but myself and the missus were in a fairly quiet Swords Pavillions late night screening of Death Proof. About 12 couples in total at the start, just the two of us left at the end. 4 couples left after the first crash scene (you'll know it if you've seen it), the rest at other intervals. I loved it though!

Personally, I always stay until the bitter end, just in case something crucial happnes. FOMO.

kitten_k · 17-04-2014 03:08PM

Yes Eyes Wide Shut - awful film! Nearly walked out during You've Got Mail too.

Dravokivich · 17-04-2014 03:09PM

Don't think I have.

Edit:
Just remembered I've fallen asleep once, while watching Immortals.

Jester252 · 17-04-2014 03:09PM

Never if the movie is bad I just have a quick nap, Cinemas haves some comfy seats

Plazaman · 17-04-2014 03:09PM

Never walked out but did fall fast asleep once (Shakespeare in Love). Woke up covered in popcorn with film over, cinema empty and one of the cleaner dudes with a mop standing over me saying "Hey buddy....buddy wake up....buddy....".

As I didn't buy popcorn I can only assume some little scamps threw it over me on their way out.

Ihatecuddles · 17-04-2014 03:10PM

I nearly walked out of that Michael Moore film, about war and America, sorry can't remember the name. Every time cruelty and beatings were given out by Americans the whole theatre cheered and clapped.

This was in Florida

allym · 17-04-2014 03:10PM

Tropic Thunder. Hated it. I've seen it all the way through since, and I still hate it.

Kersh · 17-04-2014 03:11PM

Almost, just almost, walked out of "Team America" ..

Dreadful movie.

Ficheall · 17-04-2014 03:11PM

I slept almost the entire way through 127 Hours. I kept waking up and thinking "Yep, still trapped there..." and then going back to sleep. But it was freezing out and the cinema was warm and quiet, so I was content to stay there. Cinemas can be very relaxing.

Done it twice before. First time was Charlie's Angels and then Patch Adams.

Jurassic Park. It actually scared the sh1t out of me and I had to leave. I was 8 :pac:

Antar Bolaeisk · 17-04-2014 03:14PM

I've only ever walked out of two, Pearl Harbour and Northern LightsThe Golden Compass, the former as it was incredibly boring and the latter due to it being an insult to the source material.

deandean · 17-04-2014 03:15PM

Years ago I went to an art house cinema to see TAXI ZUM KLO (Taxi To The Toilet).
:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
Sweet mother of all, I left that film after 20 minutes!

^^^Lol thats hilarious!

I walked out on Adam and Paul, just couldn't care less what happened to them by the end. Walked out on one of the scary movies as well, maybe 3. No explanation required for that one.

Have you ever walked out of the cinema during a movie?
