What movies have you walked out on? - Blu-ray Forum

Lord_Lemon · 04-08-2009, 09:04 AM

I can only say I have walked out of one film in my life and that was The New World. It was just mind numbingly boring and slow with little dialog at all. Sometimes the native language parts didn't even have subtitles. I was pretty embarrassed too, as I had a hot date with me that fell asleep and the night ended quite short.

Titanic and Saving Private Ryan, and both for the same reason...I admired the original experience, and I love history, but 2nd time through, I suddenly realized that - as cathartic as the original experience was - I just didn't want to go through it again, see people die again. So I left SPR before the end of the Omaha Beach sequence, couldn't watch Titanic once the ship sank, the horrible chorus of drowning people amplified by the concussion speakers of the Mann's Chinese. In a not dissimilar way, I was floored by The Passion of the Christ, did not return, admired the film, and bought the DVD, but I've never watched it all the way through since. Same thing with Apocalypto.

Ditto, the price of tickets nowadays.

Agreed. I am also the type of person when I start to watch something, I want to see how it ends.

I walked out of "Bats" and we asked for our money back. The theater said that becuase it was before the halfway point of the movie that they would give it back

No complaints there!

I have never walked out of a movie before, but I came damn close to walking out of Battlefield Earth.

Fors* · 04-08-2009, 11:30 AM

Again, I never walked out....just too much darn $$$!

jsteinhauer · 04-08-2009, 12:03 PM

Walked out of Howard's End. Thought I was going to see Falling Down. Definitely not the same. Didn't leave the theater, just switched rooms and watched Groundhog Day instead.

bongzilla · 04-08-2009, 12:16 PM

I left, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, never finished it,
and fell asleep during countless others.

Trainspotting--I thought the movie was deplorable. I think when he dove into the toilet was when I had had enough.

Great Movie...but I understand its not for everyone.

ZMan · 04-08-2009, 12:25 PM

I can't say that I have ever walked out of any movie but the only movie that I've ever fallen asleep on is Legends of the Fall.

gamer2600 · 04-08-2009, 12:28 PM

I walked out on Pride and Prejudice. I only went because my wife wanted to see it. I walked into Narnia:the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe for the last hour, so it wasn't all that bad.

I rarely go to movies anymore, that is why I spend so much on home theater. It is just a terrible experience overall because it seems everyone has a different agenda other than to watch the movie. I only go for movies like Dark Knight, Iron Man, things I really wanna see.

krazeyeyez · 04-08-2009, 12:33 PM

Starship Troopers - Because the sausage wallet i was dating at that time whined enough about the movie, i finally gave in and left even though I WAS LOVING IT.

Minority Reports - ALSO BECAUSE OF A GIRL lol, teen years and took some brain candy before hand, and the GF made some comments that made me think i better get her out of public and back to the safety of the house lol

I have never walked out of theatre based on the movie, i don't go often so i usually don't go to see movies that i don't think i will at least some what enjoy, although i have turned off a few movies at home, dungeon siege tale comes to mind

Lucy Diamond · 04-08-2009, 12:37 PM

I've never walked out of a movie I've seen in a theater.

BUT...

I have completely rrrrrrrripped 3 kings and Southland Tales out of my player before they even stopped.

VinnAY · 04-08-2009, 12:45 PM

I carefully select what I go and see, I don't go and see something on the fly or anything like that, so I can't say that I've ever felt like walking out on one. The only one movie I've wanted to leave on had everything to do with the female I was with that was like an iceberg "I'm not comfortbale with the touching!".

WTF

*lol

same, and there have been some pretty bad ones i've sat through too

The Lion King · 04-08-2009, 01:06 PM

"Walking Tall". I walked tall out of there. I was with my family and I can't remember exactly why we did it though; but I don't go to the cinemas at all and when I used go I only went occasionally and from the movies I was seeing there was unlikely to be one so appalling that I would rather just get up leave then sit through the rest of it.

I have, however, turned off lots of films and among these were "Blast-Off Girls", "Project: Kill" and "Nekromantik" to name a few.

Chupacabra · 04-08-2009, 01:16 PM

The closest walk out for me was Alexander the Great - this has to rank up there with alot of folks.
