what movie was so terrible, that you walked out of the theatre

i'd have to say the movie that actually made me get up & walk out was "House of the Dead" that movie is so bad that the director should have been thrown into a pit of his own lame zombies. 'nuff said.

I'm a compulsive movie finisher, especially if I pay to see it in a theatre, but during Island of Dr. Moreau, it was close. I did leave to go to the bathroom, stepped outside for a smoke, then grabbed a coke before heading back in. Luckily all of the people around me for 3 rows were hysterical and we MST3Ked it for the last half.; ▶ Reply to This

I will watch anything all the way through and then give it its proper rating. I can't stand when people say or write reviews on films they say they stopped watching after twenty minutes! yeah the movie was probably bad but you didn't really watch it so you dont have a right to trash it.

anyway ... the only movie i've ever walked out on is :

Had a similar instance as you, with the movie SINGLES when it was in theatres. The whole group just wasn't feeling it, including me, so they decided to leave.
I had a chance to see it on cable one day at home, and was pleasantly surprised. Turned out liking it after all.

Would I have written a review or rated it if I had just seen what I walked out on? NO WAY - people like that should be barred from renting. ^_~; ▶ Reply to This

Thank goodness my sister and some of her more intellectually attuned friends were there. I snuck a ride home with them and got to finish the movie.; ▶ Reply to This

Good reason to cough up even more money to the greedy movie barons. I demand Congress take action. A windfall profits tax on movie makers who movies that are so difficult you have to see them several times in order to "get" them.; ▶ Reply to This

Luckily, I was with a young lady who was in agreement with me about both the film, and about something better we could do with our time...; ▶ Reply to This
