Have you ever walked out of a cinema - the film was that bad?

Battlefield Earth.
I also got a raincheck ticket, so I got to use it for a different, entertaining film instead.

Nearly walked out of AI, which was as irritating as fuck.
Nearly walked out of Shooting Fish, which was as irritating as fuck.
Saw Lost in Translation on video - that was fairly crap.
American Beauty, Magnolia and one of the other ones that people don't like were pretty good though - and you probably just don't understand them... or you do like them really, you're just in denial.

I actually had to take a step outside while watching jackson's movie, before he became a hollywood slag, Brain Damage perhaps, no, the other one with the zombie fleshing eating stuff.
Had to take a step outside during the 'Lawnmower' scene as I was actually feeling a bit sick watching it.
Which is odd for me, cause I have seen some of the goriest movies ever made, I watched Zombie Apocolypse back in the day when it didn't have a BBFC rating and you couldn't get it legally in this country. I watched a film called Schramm once which I wouldn't recommend, so gore doesn't 'usually' bother me, but watching it on the big screen was doing me head in.
Tho in my defence that movie at the time did take the record for the most blood ever seen in any movie. It was about an inch thick on the floor at one point.
nearly walked out of Lost Highway,but it was more fun staying and yawning out loud and saying in a loud voice(i don't have any other kind)that it was the most boring film ever made.
That film was wierd, the complete changing of the lead character, while he was in prison was just bizzare and totally unexplained.
Also didn't rate it much and found it to be a bit meandering and pointless.
Tho there is the excellent scene at the party where the guy talking to him calls his house and puts him on the phone to...himself. I thought that was rather humourous in a way.

Anybody remember the Fat Slags movie that came out a few years ago?....i worked in a cinema when it was on & i don't think anybody stayed until the end the whole time it was on, and i'm talking a couple of hundred people. It was fucking shite of the highest order.
You'd be suprised how many people walk out of films with subtitles.

I quite like Blair witch project, but still had to walk out because i'd gone to the cinema after quite a few drinks and the wobbly camera was making me proper sick.

I never walk out, I have a nice snooze instead. It's warm, comfy and dark so why not?
Braveheart, I managed the first few minutes of, as soon as he opened his mouth and spoke, I couldn't handle his Scottish accent. But I was on a plane, so I couldn't get up and leave!

DJ Squelch said:I went to see Crash when the cinema had a "every film £1 entry" day. When the gay sex scene happened a quarter of the audience walked out moaning about "bloody poofs". I think they were expecting something with car chases & guns.
You didn't go to see the film in Dagenham by any chance did you?

One small step for me
I walked out of the 2nd Lord of the Rings film. I knew beforehand that it wasn't my type of thing at all but I wanted to see for myself what all the hype was about. I went with an open mind and I stuck it out for about 2 hours (felt like twice that long) but then I thought 'why am I wasting my time watching this nonsense?!' and pissed off to the pub to waste my time in a more enjoyable way.
I'm surprised that I'm the only one on this thread who has said they walked out on one of the LOTR films. Presumably that's because you all had better sense than me and never went in the first place!

Rarely go to the cinema these days but I'm always turning DVDs off - or ignoring the film and reading a book if ms booty is enjoying it.
Never made it through Lost Highway, Batman Begins, The Aristocrats, Deuce Bigalow2 (worst film ever made), X-men 3, Ocean's 12 and loads of others I can't remember.
Me and the misssus had some free tickets for Charlie's Angles 2 - we walked out after 20mins, we might have stayed had we paid.

we failed to make it beyond the 60 minute mark of Fantastic Four last night.

Took the missus to see that on valentines night, I thought "you can't go wrong with a french film on valentines". Cue the 9 minute rape scene.
The director apparently got a hard one while filming it.

Walked out of the first of that twat brosnan's bond films.
Partly becasue it was pants and also because we only got seats at the front row as the place was packed. Everytime a looked back I thought everyone was staring at me (I was proper caned, innit

)I like to give movies a chance so don't walk out as a rule. I tend to trust my instinct when choosing what to go and see and it scarcely happens that a film I'm seeing has no redeeming features. I have fallen asleep a few times though -- once during a screening of Pi from tiredness after having seen four movies in one day, that and the film being terminally boring.
It's hard when with company because unless tastes are identical or at least very similar the selecting stage gets difficult. Cinema is a solitary pursuit most of the time, a good companion would be perfect but hard to find.

So he stayed watching till the last 3 mins of the film then!, hardly "stomping out" was it?, more like beating the rush or just suffering from a weak bladder!

Nearly walked out of Philadelphia. It started out so well, but then I actually felt bile rising in my gut as the sentimentality got more and more extreme. I stayed to the end, but I regret it.
I often want to walk out of the kids' films I take my daughter to (Chicken Little was the worst), but I find that the sound of my brain leaking out my ears is sufficient distraction to last me till the end credits.

I walked out of that film (can't remember the name of it, wiped from memory) with Kylie Minogue in it. About 30 minutes in If remember correctly.

I just stopped watching it on DVD - it bored me, I probably would have stayed in the cinema. Anyway the actor's mouth kept making me think of GW Bush's gob - it's exactly the same, that ape-like pout, poor guy.
I think I'm just getting old, superhero stories bore the shit out of me all of a sudden. The first batman film is the best anyway. At least it had a sense of humour instead of relying on Michael Caines ridiculous accent to garner laughs.
(I might give it another go, more sober this time)I think all these comic book films are endemic of America's inability to grow up.
