Movies You Have Walked Out On

Recommended Posts

I walked out of Moulin Rouge (my ears are scarred forever from that godawful music) and Once Upon a Time in Mexico (which was just a piece of shit on every level despite that Johnny Depp was in it.) I will never understand the love for MR. I really thought it was terrible.

The Lady In The Water...fell asleep on it, then left when the kid was talking to Cereal Boxes.

I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry...left to watch The Simpsons, which also sucked.

Almost walked out of The Phantom Menace, but stuck around.

 

I almost posted a separate list for films I have fallen asleep on. I definitely remember sleeping on Phantom Menace too! that movie really sucked!!! :angry:

 

Phantom Menace = sedative. me too. :rolleyes:

i remember going to the movies with a friend and we saw "kiss the girls" because there were no other movies starting at the time we were there (we were like 12/13) and we saw it. i remember having no concept or understanding of the movie. i think we snuck out and saw "I know what you did last summer" instead.

I don't like Adam Sandler as much as the next person, but walking out of you own home? Damn... :blink:

I was embarrassed to watch it because the script was so awful. I thought with Sandler and Kevin James, the comedy would have been crackling, but instead it just made me cringe.

Hey, we all get snookered sometimes. Going to see a movie is like a crap shoot and you might wind up seeing ...well, crap. :unsure: That's why I started this thread. Just let it go and move on. Try catching a real good film by watching something on Turner Classic Movies cable channel. TCM rocks!!!! :lol:

I walked out on Choke last weekend. It was horrible. My friend liked it, but that's coming from a guy. Perhaps it's more of a guy's movie.

 

But the main character I hated, the whole story I hated. They even tried to make something like dimensia a joke. It was just vulgar and horrible.

I just saw this on the pay channel the other day and it reminded me of this thread. Dan in Real Life, starring Steve Carrell. From the moment I guessed she would say Anna Karenina in the book store to the improtu excercise sequence I could not take anymore. As she<Juliet Binoche> bent over, I stood up and walked out.

Youth Without Youth, I didn't walk out on it but I almost did. I expected more from Francis Ford Coppola, but the film was long, boring and had a stupid premise.

I walked out on Sin City: it was my third time and I really forgot I had an appointment with a friends.

Does it count?

 

I am actually counting on walking out on The Spirit.

I took "Wanted" out of my DVD player after 25 minutes of crap dialog & that bad CG car chase/ really bad CG of the kid getting crammed into the passenger seat :rolleyes: walked it right back to Blockbuster. Does that count?

I am not a Jolie fan, but she was the least offensive thing in that 25 minutes.

Hell, the coming attractions for The Spirit made me want to bolt! :D ( I was so traumatized by it, I had to start my thread about why I can't see it...)

 

About "Wanted", yeah, it was terrible. It was hundreds of rats eating stinky moldy cheese bad! It was bad in real stupid sloooooooooooooooooooooow motion! :P

Bobby, I actually sat through Battleship Earth in a movie theater. I watched it...and it was really the worst thing I have ever seen. I am sure The Hottie and the Nottie was better. For my defence, I would say that I watch battlefield earth because it was the only thing I did not saw in the theater. And it was shot in Montreal with some Canadian actors I knew.

 

As for the Spirit, it is a total Sin City Rip off. I know that Frank Miller created both of them but still a little imagination would have been great ( and although I love Sarah Paulson, I will not go watch it...). And you need to be able to direct actors...if you are not able to do that don't bother direct.

Pop this one in the way-back machine....

 

Nothing in Common with Tom Hanks and Jackie Gleason. I was in, like, junior high and thought it was a comedy.

 

I probably snuck into Space Camp for the 80th time after leaving that one! :wacko:

How about movies where we didn't bother to finish the dvd? I rented Burn After Reading and between 3 of us, we could not force ourselves to finish it. Great cast, great potential but a total bomb in my book.

Let's see, that would include "Crash," the Zach Braff movie where his character cheats on his wife/girlfriend, "Man Bites Dog," and "Trainspotting." Theemperor actually took "Trainspotting" back to Blockbuster and demanded a refund because I was so upset. There's actually a trend in that list, excluding the Braff movie, which just sucked. I hate movies which endanger children to drive home some dramatic point.

 

I wish I turned off "Starship Troopers" and "Eyes Wide Shut." What a waste of time those movies were!

 

Oh, and I never did manage to stay awake through "Napoleon Dynamite." :unsure: (Sorry!)

I was with you until Trainspotting...lol. I think it's a great flick...and I guess it doesn't hurt to be an Ewan Mcgregor fan, either. :4biggrin:

 

Zach Braff, I do not get. At least Scrubs is ending and will not have to see him again.

Well, I don't want to give away key parts of the movie. Basically, when I watched it, I had a baby in the house, and maternal hormones and emotions being what they are, there was a certain point after which the movie was utterly unwatchable for me. Theemperor was angry because he had rented this great film for us to watch in a rare quiet time, and instead of relaxing he was left with a wife who was a sobbing wreck.

 

So, to be fair, I think "Trainspotting" had plenty of artistic merits, unlike the other titles I mentioned. I was enjoying it, up to a certain point. That one scene, though, was so unnecessary (I had already gotten the message -- drugs suck!), and because of it, I have no interest in knowing how the film ended.

Ok, I got it...Yeah, the part you were referring to was very disturbing. Never thought of how that would effect parents. It's interesting how movie scenes can effect people differently.... :blink:

Just curious, anybody walk out on a Summer flick yet? :P

I haven't but I've been VERY selective (and pretty low on funds :( ) so I've only paid cold hard cash for movies I REALLY WANTED TO SEE (like Wolverine) and/ had waited for good buzz (like The Hangover).

 

Movies I have Stayed Away From:

Terminator 4

The Proposal-Sandra Bullock

Transformers 2

Land of The Lost

Whatever Works-Woody Allen

Harry Potter 5 (?)

 

(mostly sequels & stuff that I feel like I've seen before)
