The Happening was so bad i ran out of the theater

GeneD5 · 08-08-2009, 11:22 AM

I ALMOST walked out on the new Indiana Jones...I was horrified at what I was watching. I managed to tough it out though (unfortunately)

SillyMammo · 08-08-2009, 12:12 PM

Never walked out on a movie. The closest I ever came to it was for the Ashely Judd/Ewan MacGregor movie "Eye of the Beholder." P U!! I wanted someone to give me the 2 hours of my life that I'd lost for that stinker!

Moefiz · 08-08-2009, 12:34 PM

Never walked out of a film as yet.I figure I paid $8.00 I might as well sit it out and get my money worth.

Secretagentnumber6 · 08-08-2009, 01:54 PM

I came close to walking out on Resident Evil Apocalypse. I thought it was horrible drek. I managed to stick it out just barely though.

Rovic · 08-08-2009, 02:00 PM

i've never walked out of a movie at the cinemas, but i was really, really close to in the film "a sound of thunder"...ugh...

jasonicus · 08-08-2009, 02:12 PM

Never have I walked out, thought about for "The Haunting" and "Transformers", but I figured I paid for my ticket, might as well watch it.

A majority of theaters will give you your money back on a ticket if you insist that you don't like it (Of course it will only work if you leave during the movie).

Kirsty_Mc · 08-08-2009, 02:15 PM

Stick it out to the bitter end... Griping can be so much fun and is part of the experience.

Edawg72 · 08-08-2009, 02:16 PM

Hudson Hawk, Who's That Girl. I think that's it. I had a friend I was with walk out on the last 15 minutes of Heat. Unbelievable huh? Since then, he's loved the movie.

Yeah, I figured, but why not watch train wrecks?

RedSoxNation · 08-08-2009, 02:20 PM

I guess the closest to a walk out I've had in recent memory was Milk. Not that it was a bad movie, it wasn't, it just felt an hour too long and I was extremely bored (I remember having to pee badly, as well). This isn't a homophobic thing, but I've never been more anxious for the main character's death, and the end to an incredibly long movie (I believe 15 minutes or so were about an ordinance requiring SF residents to pick up dog crap).

Walked out on Gigli. and at the time it wasn't out in theaters yet. It was an employee screening, I had to screen the movie before release to see if there is any problems with it. Halfway through I gave up on watching it. so I just left the movie running, and prayed it doesn't have any problems.

MaCruz · 08-08-2009, 03:27 PM

Lets see.. The only movie I was about to walk out on was 28 Days Later. I sucked it up and watched the whole thing and I thought was ok overall.

Now that I don't leave I just end up taking a nap. The lastest movie I went to sleep was Harry Potter last Saturday. POTC either the 2nd or 3rd one I was caught snoring. I try not fall asleep but it's hard. HP, and POTC are not my type of movies, but I go with the girl. I'm going to see GI Joe so we will see how that goes today.

Al Bundy · 08-08-2009, 03:32 PM

Jumper. What a dumb movie, great idea though.

mtbkr · 08-08-2009, 03:38 PM

i will not hesitate to walk out on any movie. either because the movie sucks or because of technical problems,but the majority of the time i will walk out because there are 15 year old dorks making to much noise and ruining the experience and telling them to shut up only make them get louder. i always go find a manager to refund my money, once even the manager refunded my money then went in and kicked the kids out then asked if i would like to finish watching the movie. my wife drug me to "step it up" and a fight broke out and some guy started shooting a gun at the ceiling, we ran out instead of walking out on that one, sorry to say i was forced to watch that crap on dvd.

DetroitSportsFan · 08-08-2009, 03:45 PM

I have walked out on a few movies. From the top of my head:

Once Upon A Time In Mexico
The Road To Wellville
Dracula: Dead And Loving It

I'm sure there was more...

Rblu-Dblu · 08-08-2009, 03:46 PM

I can usually make it all the way through any movie no matter how bad it is. Only movie I've left at the beginning was Black Mask. Was with a lot of other people who were insistent that we leave. I remember turning off JCVD in the middle because I didnt like it. But that was the rented blu.
