Have you ever walked out of the theatre because of a movie?

The only movie I ever willingly walked out of was Mystery Men, with Ben Stiller. I was on a date and halfway thru the movie she looked over and said "This sucks!" I had no opinion of the movie one way or the other, I was just trying to get a piece, so I was all "Then lets get out here, baby..." and we left. I don't think I got lucky though, maybe I should of stayed and got my money's worth.

When I was 6 or 7 my mom and aunt took me and my younger brother and cousin to see a re-release of Fantasia. I was really into it, but the little ones freaked out during one of the scary parts, and mom and auntie got upset and stormed us out of there. I remember being so pissed at everybody for ruining the movie for me.

The best Adam Sandler movie were billy Madison and Happy Gilmore. He hasn't made a good film since then. He did make Grandma boy, which was great without seeing him. Wedding Singer is alright, but his current films are kinda boring and nothing surpasses the Madison or Gilmore movies.

I have to admit I enjoyed watching it too, it was tense and had a fairly intelligent plot for a western horror film (I prefer the slow burn psychological j-horror more than the shock/gore-porn of western horror) this wasn't overly gory and had very few shock-moments in it. The thriller style nature of it made it enjoyable.

Saw 2. Ugh. Walked out midway because it was just boring. No plot to speak of, it was worse than a god-damn slasher flick. Here's some people, in a house, look at the varied ways that they die... Meh. Why is there 6 of these fucking movies?

The one before that was The Descent, again, just a boring ass movie full of boring ass 'actors'. Meh. I think we lasted 45 minutes on that one before just leaving.
Finally, someone who agrees with me on the first Saw film.

I've never walked out of a movie, but I worked at a theater for a while so I at least saw quite a few. You wouldn't believe how many people walked out of Cloverfield.

Transformers 2.

Fortunately, since my dad is an old school media pirate (sneaks into movies after the one we paid for is over, take that ya whippersnappers and your pirate bays!), we didn't pay for that.

I stood up about 30 minutes in and said "THIS MOVIE FUCKIN' BLOWS!" and walked out.

Ah man, Mystery Men is pretty good. I'm pretty confident that if this film came out now it would be a hit. I think it was just a spoof before there was anything to really spoof. This film came out long before 'Super Hero' movies were massive in mainstream culture. So a lot of the references were lost on many people.

Really? That's one film that I loved from start to finish. It's quite a long movie but it doesn't drag in the middle like say, Kill Bill 1 does. I was surprised at how long it was when we saw it in the theatre, we came out and said "that did not seem like 2 and a half hours!". Compared to LOTR:FOTR which definitely felt like 4 hours instead of the 3 it actually was.
I really wanted to like the movie. And it was really good in moments, then it'd go off on a 30 minute tangent with no purpose. It has all the makings of a great movie, but it needed some editing imo.

Only ever walked out on two willingly. Aeon Flux after about 20 minutes, and Fantastic Four II after about 30. My dad pulled me out of Indian in the Cupboard when I was little. Can't remember why.

The Eddie Murphy remake of The Nutty Professor, during the second dinner fart scene. It wasn't funny, nor was it disguisting. It was just distracting and stupid.

I've walked out of movies before, but never because of how bad it was. If a movie is ever that bad where it gets to the point that you wanna walk out, I'm usually more involved in laughing at how bad it is. A bad movie is a bad movie, but there's different grades. There's a movie that's just bad, but you can watch it through. Then there's movies that are so bad that you have a great time watching it because of how bad it is. Example: Cybernator.
