New Moon? I'm so glad I didn't pay money to see that movie, nor the first one

and I still feel cheated

Only once for me. It was called 28 days. NOT 28 DAYS LATER. 28 days is the one with Sandra Bullock about alcohol rehab. Wow, so so so bad. I watched the first 40 mins or so and decided I had had enough.

napoleon dynamite was the movie I wanted to walk out of so bad. I think I must have purposely gone to the bathroom about three times because it was such torture to sit through. My friend of the time dragged me to see it against my will even though I thought it was stupid even from the trailer.

edit: my younger sister told me just how stupid this line was.

That reminds me of like every time I tell someone about Danny Boyle's "Sunshine"... they think I'm talking about "Little Miss Sunshine".

I haven't done it in a while. Only to go to the bathroom and come back, and I haven't even done that for movies I'm actually interested. I walked out of Bruno. Saw Orphan instead.

Can't say i've ever walked out of a movie before. Fell asleep during (The Grudge remake - I was drunk; and King Kong (Peter Jackson one) - my partner at the time loved it so much we went twice - second time I dozed off, awakening just in time for them to arrive at the island).

I do recall going to see Inglorious Basterds, and clocking a rather old looking couple arriving not long after us. I thought to myself hmm, pretty cool seeing folks like that in for a film like this. Anyhoo, they walked out after the baseball bat Bear Jew scene.

I've never walked out of a movie. I choose my movies carefully. But I have had some annoying movie goers. Like when I went to see the Haunting in Connecticut, there was an annoying ass guy yelling. He kept saying F*ck this movie F*ck this movie" and "Hell naw if that was me I wouldn't even go in there." I felt like knocking him out and waking him up when the movie finishes.

Maybe I should start keeping chloroform in my purse.

Fell asleep after 15 minutes when watching Avatar (second viewing). I couldn't endure it and I pretty much know what's going to happen, so I walked out. It was so good the first time round though.

I have fallen asleep in movies, but I only walk out if it is really vulgar, disgusting, or to inappropriate for my taste. I always stay for bad movies though, I kinda like there bad qualities, best to have friends around while watching them though so you can make fun of it and laugh together.

i saw toy story on friday and the show was sold out. the movie started and 5 minutes into it group of like 8 people walked in. then they walked out becuz they couldnt sit next to each other.

Usually, I'm a good sport about watching movies @ the theatre, good or bad. Don't wanna waste money on a bad pic.

So if I had to choose, it would be a tie between The Hot Chick & The Comebacks. Both were Matthew Lawrence movies & both disappointed me for his bit small parts. His last big part was on Jumping Ship in 2001.

On The Comebacks, I was outraged over that mock music video, Don't Stop Believing where everyone participated, except Matthew Lawrence. Thought he was too shy to sing not since that romantic moment on Boy Meets World.

Then I watched the movie on DirecTV, froze it & found that Matt was wearing a dark wig all along. I saw through that disguise by his dimples. So I owe Matt & that movie an apology.

Ah, I did want to walk out of 27 Dresses but I was with about 6 other girls who were really into it. At the end they asked how I liked it and I said something like it was exactly how I thought it would be.

I forgot about Disaster Movie. That name doesn't do it justice enough. I was watching with a friend who enjoyed it so much (wtf?) I was dying to go walk out of the cinema.

When I went to see Forgetting Sarah Marshall, there was an elderly couple sitting in front. When Segel says he's going to **** as many women as he can, they walked out.

The elderly need to learn that movies are rated R for a reason. When I went to see Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back (Shut-up! I'm already embarassed enough admitting it), I actually had to talk some clueless elderly out of it as they had never even heard of Jay & Silent Bob.

I've never walked out of a movie, mainly because I'm too cheap and if I paid for it, I'm gonna damn well watch it. No matter how bad it sucks.

I do remember people walking out of Blair Witch Project, though.

I think you can get a refund if you walk out of a movie.

Got begged to go to the movies by my Mom a lot. She drug me to The Grudge, SAW 3, Dumb and Dumberer, and 2 Fast 2 Furious. All were huge wastes of time and all lacked the option to leave whenever I wanted.

I fell asleep during Terminator 3 for about a half hour. I never re-watched it and never will.

One movie I had the option to walk out on and probably should have but didn't was Oliver Stone's Alexander. That movie was crap on so many levels. My Dad was with me and we both watched at the theater emptied. By the time it was over there was only 2 other people in there.

We also almost walked out on the Death Proof segment of Grindhouse. It was like watching a bad chick flick with some violent scenes spread out between a half hour of long drawn out babbling. The missing reel joke was way funnier in Planet Terror too.

Lot better than I was. I got so fed up with some bitch ass teen texting, I grabbed the phone and flung with full force towards the wall. Phone broke into a million pieces. We were both escorted out. This was the movie The Crazies. The theater made amends with me and gave me a ticket to see the movie again. The teen was removed indefinitely.

Other than that, never walked out of a movie. I have had an occasion where I didn't finish a movie on DVD, but never in theater. It's probably why I choose action flicks or thrillers, keeps my interest up even if it is a crappy film.

I went to see The Black Dhalia, and there was an elderly couple that walked out during the porno video scene. Granted, I kind of see their disgust. Here was a movie set in a vintage time, and they throw in graphic porno that really brought the movie's "classy look" down to a trashy look. I guess not every movie is going to be set up like Public Enemies.
