Walked out of a cinema showing adult movies after about 10 minutes.

I doubt the people who walked out did it from homophobia but because its fairly boring. I cant see a conversation between two scobes fresh out of dishing out a beating to some young fellow for wearing tight pants deciding to check out the new gay cowboy film the critics are raving about.

To be fair it was a mixture of both with them, but mainly because of homophobia - see where I mentioned their commenting as they left/were about to leave. How else would I know? I'm not one to make assumptions on such things.

Never actually left early but went to see 'Lost in Translation' with a mate and if there was 100 people at the start of the movie we were the only 2 left by the end. Have never seen whole rows of people just get up and walk att the same time until that night, twas bizarre.

As it turned out, i loved the movie.

That's quite sad concerning peoples taste. ****.
That could be my favourite movie ever, that and back to the future or shaun of the dead.

RV with Robin Williams - absolute ****efest. I was 12 at the time and myself and my friend left an hour into it and went to the bookshop instead.

I've never walked out but two movies came awful close...
The Guard and
'The Long Way Back' IMO the worst movie of all time.

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.

Have you ever heard of a film called 9 songs?Think i endured about 15 minutes of that tripe before walking out,we then walked in to a different screen and watched The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Which was also sh1te,but nowhere as bad as nine songs

One of the Fast and Furious movies. Got bored of footage of guys changing gear.

FortuneChip · 17-04-2014 04:48PM

Spiderman 3.

Although that's a lie, I didn't see it in a cinema, I watched it on a flight to Toronto. But I still felt it was necessary to walk out.

GLaDOS · 17-04-2014 04:48PM

Never have, but I'm pretty selective about what I'll go to the cinema for.

IvySlayer · 17-04-2014 04:50PM

Never have but Van Helsing/Cemetery Junction tempted me

ToddyDoody · 17-04-2014 04:50PM

I went to Brokeback Mountain.and Breakfast on Pluto in multiple cinemas with the intention of walking out

baron von something · 17-04-2014 04:51PM

i felt like walking out during a lot of movies and i fell asleep during a few but the only one i did walk out of was The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.i just could not take another minute of it.

i thought The guard was quite funny

LaGlisse · 17-04-2014 04:55PM

Left Anchorman 2 with 30 mins left, in fairness knew it was going to be dodgy enough going in, but nothing could have prepared me for the spectacle of Ferrell et al having the unnfunniest public meltdown Ive ever seen. Shame as I enjoyed the first one

Sunglasses Ron · 17-04-2014 04:56PM

Zero Dark Thirty.

How they managed to turn one of the most interesting true stories of our time into something so boring I will never know. Not to even start on how wooden Jessica Chastain's acting was (didn't she win an Oscar for this???)

Van Helsing

Oh my god, that was so bad, so very very bad... I think the best thing about that movie was Aussie actor Richard Roxburgh's turn as Dracula, it was camper than a row of tents! :pac:

I managed to make it the ripe old age of 30 without having watched Star Wars. Any of them.

Was dating a girl a few years back and she suggested we go to watch a screening of it in The Lighthouse cinema. What utter fúcking drivel. I knew by the audience gathering in the foyer before the movie that it was going to be a geekfest, but nothing could prepare me for the hackneyed storyline, robotic acting and shallow characters. Puerile stuff.

She had watched it before and was happy enough to come with me when I said I wanted to leave. Went to the Cobblestone for a few scoops and some of the audience in the cinema arrived in later talking about it. They were really psyched up about having seen it on the big screen. Without tarnishing them with too large a brush, most of them were on the nerdy end of nerdy.

Walked out of Reno 911 Miami. Just awful.

darkpagandeath · 17-04-2014 05:13PM

Walked out of K-19: The Widowmaker

Sleepy · 17-04-2014 05:16PM

I *RAN* out of the Blair Witch Project. The steadi-cam footage gave me motion-sickness and I ended up projectile vomiting in the bathroom... TBH, the fact that I could hit a wall from 6 feet away with a spray of vomit was far scarier than any movie I've seen before or since.

johnnykilo · 17-04-2014 05:19PM

The only film I've ever walked out on was Batman & Robin. Good god, I'm surprised I lasted an hour and a half looking back.

Nah she didn't win, lost to Jennifer Lawrence last year.

Never walked out on a movie but I fell asleep during Sahara. Brutal film :P

I watched that on pirated dvd, it was an awful copy but matched duly by its awfulness as an attempt of adaption and trying to masquerade as a film.

razorblunt · 17-04-2014 05:29PM

More inclined to turn off a DVD, closest walk out in the cinema was Elizabethtown, what a load of pseudo "quirky charm" rubbish

brevity · 17-04-2014 05:29PM

Came very close during Dumb and Dumber 2. Such a terrible movie.
