What makes it so bad you can't watch it?

[jsteinhauer]

I read user comments in the reviews and threads about movies that some posters can't even sit through. I'm a fairly patient person, and it's a rare movie that I can't sit all the way through. I do torture myself sometimes, but I find something redeeming in just about everything I watch that makes me want to see the end. Sometimes, I watch it simply to justify being able to leave negative comments, so I can say I watched the whole thing. What does it take for you to turn it off and not even give a rip how it ends?

I know younger people don't have the type of patience that their predecessors do (I learn this from Yahoo.com, which is always right ).

For me, I think I have to find that the movie really does not have a plot...that it started nowhere and nothing developed, so I conclude early that the end will reveal nothing. I've seen some really bad movies in their entirety. That last movie I could not watch was Automatons. I watched about 5 minutes of it.
