Has anybody ever left the theater in the middle of a movie because it was so bad?

[Voldemort]

I once left due to content, which made me physically sick within the cinema. I saw, 28 weeks later, the part where the woman gets her eyeballs pushed out made me throw up. It was gross. Too gross.

you did not miss much - it was more bloody than the first, but the story rapidly degenerated into a "fight everyone" situation -- though the responce of that army I though was good and also not unreasonable, I thought the build up to the outbreak was badly set-up. (seriously you have a military controled site and they put the whole place on lockdown and decide that the best thing to do is put everyone in a cramped carpark, lock the doors to stop them getting out and then only guard one door (thus letting the things get in through the unguarded door........(

Plus, letting the American army in totally ruined the British feel of the first, and that was a big element of attraction for me. It felt like more Hollywood crappola. I hope Danny Boyle got a big fat paycheck for that, and I hope he comes back for when they take over Europe and Asia next.

I really liked 28 Weeks Later. I was surprised at how good it was. And I'm usually a very picky moviegoer.

My only real gripe with it was that the father seemed to inexplicably retain some recognition of his kids and to be either following them or very coincidentally running into them again.

I tend to stay even if I hate the film, but I wated to walk out of Jurasik Park as I hated it utterly. I almost walked out of Highlander 2 but I was on a date and it would have been rude but at least I got a nice snooze, it was soooooo bad.

I actually liked the re-make of Planet of the apes, I liked the Village as well oh well each to their own.

I never left on a movie in cinema, but I frequently walk out on movies when at home ( for example when my dad watched that russian movie, in russian - which I don´t speak, and which was, like quite a few russian movies I saw, beautifully filmed, but soooooooooo slow.)

But I once witnessed someone leaving a cinema quite fast. It was Sin City, and this middle aged man practically ran out of the room when the first nudity scene came.

I'v never walked out of a film. The worst I hate to say was Greece. I qued for 4 hours to see it, and I hated it. I'm was obviously not the usual teenage girl at the time. LOL!

Saw a guy walk out of "John Rambo" recently, certainly it was violent but i would have assumed with Rambo in the title you knew what you were getting .

Only film i have ever walked out of was the Lover with Jane March and the did they didn't they controversy, it was crap beyond belief and i wasn't feeling too great which didn't help

I saw someone walk out on Scary Movie dragging their kid with them, it was just after the scene where she is pinned to the bedroom ceiling by a jet of white liquid.

 

[Hilarious Joke]

Care to elaborate Vladd?

Just kidding, please don't, I've seen it.

 

[socialcrawl]

I walked out of that movie Anger Management within the first 30 min. It was so bad.

 

[Hilarious Joke]

Aww, I thought it was okay. I feel pretty?

 

[Richard Kylea]

I left Chipmunks within the first 20 mins, looking back I wonder what exactly I was doing in that theatre? I used to be a fan when it was on television.

Mind boggling!

I don't think I've ever walked out of the cinema during a movie but I once fell asleep while watching one. This was way back in 1993. I was living in Paris and went to the movies with the guy I was seeing, and his friend. We watched Rising Sun (Wesley Snipes and Sean Connery). Well ok, they watched. I nodded off about 30 minutes in and slept soundly until the credits rolled. I still remember that as one of the best naps ever. I wonder if watching Rising Sun now would have the same effect?

 

[Boneman]

I walked out of '21 grams' after about 25 minutes. It was a truly great idea and handled appallingly. I started off bored and ended up angry with the 'written-in-bold' attempts to belabour the information. God it was awful.....

(ps: Daisy-Boo, why have you got a picture of my cat as your avatar?)

heh heh...

So you have a ginger darling too? Mine is really feisty and clever. Is yours too?

I don't even remember leaving in the middle of a movie (except back in the old days of the double feature when it was common to come in while a movie was already in progress and leave again at the same point), but I do remember leaving much, much earlier. The movie was The Beastmaster, and about five minutes in my friend and I just looked at each other and said "No", stood up without further ado, and walked out.

(If it hadn't been the second feature and we hadn't already watched the first one, we might have given it more of a chance, but as it was ...)

I only remember leaving half way through four weddings and a funeral. It it just didn't get me like other people.

I only remember leaving half way through four weddings and a funeral. It it just didn't get me like other people.

So you saw 'Two weddings and a heart attack'?

Embarrassingly, when I was very young I went to see 'Gone with the Wind'. After a longish time, a very big word came up on the screen saying 'The Intermission', and the lights came on. I didn't know what this meant, but assumed the film had finished so I went home. Okay it doesn't fit this category exactly...

 

[AE35Unit]

Cant say that I have! But then the prices they charge I'd feel cheated if I walked out half way through!
But so far all the films I've been to see(apart from one years ago) have been good!
