Walking out of movies

ooglafina · 06-20-2010, 04:51 PM

Anybody ever done it? I haven't. It's never even occurred to me before. I wanted to walk out of "The Grudge" but couldn't because I had my sister and cousin with me.

And anyway, I have a sick fascination with bad movies because it's so interesting to see what went wrong. I feel like I get my money's worth in knowledge and experience anyway. I've seen that "Jonah Hex" has gotten really evil reviews and it makes me want to see it, just to see how bad the damage really is.

Usually films that have bad reviews are ones I liked. That's the case with Jonah Hex. Yeah it bombed in the box office (opening in 8th! Yeowch!) but I liked it. Mostly cuz Im into the civil war era. It would have probably done alot better if it hadn't opened oposite Toy Story 3.

I wanted to walk out on Ghost Rider, but Voltron was the one who drove me, so I couldn't.

I walked out of Batman Begins only because there were some dumb teens yelling in the back. I figured might as well get my money back and see it another time when I can actually enjoy it. The manager gave me my money back and said next time it was on us. Cool guy.

I wanted to walk out of underworld movie, but i stuck 'til the end.

I choose carefully what movie to see since the ticket is helluva expensive

*shuriken* · 06-20-2010, 07:29 PM

Walked out of Final Destination 3. then snuck in to see the pink panther. not much better IMO

*Katie* · 06-20-2010, 07:31 PM

I've fallen asleep during a bad movie.....

*Candy Kappa* · 06-20-2010, 07:34 PM

I lost my drink when some guy could't get off the phone while movie was on.

it just slipped out of my hands and wacked his head

*gobo* · 06-20-2010, 08:22 PM

I've never done such a thing on the premise that I'll always be curious as to what I missed. That will drive me to spend more money on seeing it again even though I'm only vaguely interested. Just because a movie doesn't start out well doesn't always mean that it won't redeem itself by the end. Plus, I paid good money to see it, so I just choose my battles wisely.

When I thought about walking out of "The Grudge" I had just had a ruptured appendix and had very nearly died slowly in real life so I wasn't inclined to watch other people snuff it and just looked away through the whole movie. Also I was hopped up on Vicoden and that didn't really help either.

I guess I always figured that no movie is so bad that it's worth walking out on. Except "Alone in the Dark." If I'd seen that in the theater I may have walked out.

*XERO* · 06-20-2010, 09:13 PM

I never walked out, but I remember seeing people walk out.

It was during Jackass: Number Two, the skit with Steve-O, Chris Pontius and the horse...

*Eiko* · 06-20-2010, 09:26 PM

I walked out on Power Rangers Movie it was so bad. But lucky the tickets where free so no loss.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 06-20-2010, 10:12 PM

I've watched a lot of people walk out of Saw movies. Watched three couples walk out of Kick-Ass when the girlfriend realized she had been misled by the dude about the context of the movie (basically, when they start pouring the gasoline). Never walked out myself.

*XERO* · 06-20-2010, 10:17 PM

Dude, any movie with Nicholas Cage is 'out of context'.

*Candy Kappa* · 06-21-2010, 06:03 AM

saw some parents walking out with their 6-10 old children on passion of the Christ under the torture scene

My brother wanted to walk out of Transformers 2 and even though I agreed that it was the worst film I had ever seen on the big screen, I thought I should endure it.

I think I fell asleep for 15 minutes, woke up and realised that I didn't miss a thing as the robots/explosions sequence at the pyramids was still going on.

The only time I left a cinema was during "A Walk to Remember", mainly because it induced one of the worst migraines I've ever experienced.

*ToTheNines* · 06-21-2010, 09:15 AM

My fu*king cousin made me see "Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector" with him... I wanted to walk out so bad but I was fourteen so I couldn't have driven home.

Also wanted to leave Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (picked by a friend). But after seeing the most ridiculous sex scene in cinema history I just had to stick around.

Leogeddon · 06-21-2010, 09:21 AM

Two times for me, once was Transporter 3 and the other was Bad Moon (or something of the sort).

*Weapon X* · 06-21-2010, 10:25 AM

I've actually never walked out of a movie, then again I try to go to ones that don't look obviously bad and will make me want to. Although I went to the third Pirates Of The Caribbean movie with my girlfriend and her sister, their choice and it was like torture, it was horrible, but I fell asleep, so I guess that's kind of an insult to it.

Also looking back, I could have walked out on the Death Proof part of Grindhouse.
