NRR: Have you ever walked out of the theater in the middle of a movie because it was so bad?

Clash of the Titans remake. About 10 minutes in I had to leave, the acting was absolutely horrendous and the outfits and CGI were ridiculous. Awful movie.

I walked out of "The All-Nighter" which was some kind of spring-break beach party type movie "starring" Susannah Hoffs of The Bangles, back in the '90s I think. It was so unbelievably terrible.

I think I also walked out of "The Man Who Would Be King" in the '70s when I was a teenager - supposedly that movie is pretty good so maybe I just didn't appreciate it at that age.

Yes, 15 minutes into Passion of the Christ. Title was a little misleading.

Amazing. I was laughing to myself when I click on this thread saying, yep passion of the christ.

I just thought it was dumb.

Yes, but i am happy to say that i can't remember what the movie was and I really don't want to. I hate dredging up bad memories.

There was a concert i walked out of, too, and can't remember the name of that band. It was bad.

The original 'Tron' back in the 80's. And I wish I had left during 'Mother!' last year.

I was at the opera in Prague with my (former) wife, during the break we drank Champagne in the vestibule, then watched each others eyes, asking shall we leave?

We left.

What movie were they playing during the opera ?

I ran out of 'Pulp Fiction '.

Unfortunately, my long-time girlfriend won't leave any movie, so I've had to sit through things like

"Monster-in-Law" with J-Lo and Jane Fonda and "RV," the absolute nadir of Robin Williams' career. I actually wanted to walk out of "Reservoir Dogs" when ... well, you can probably guess what. But she would not leave. We even stayed to the end of this year's worst movie, "Bad Times at the Cafe Royale" or some such thing with Jeff Bridges and Jon Hamm, even though it was clear pretty early on that this was going to be very bad for a very long time. It eventually became physically painful to be there. Look, my girlfriend does have other fine qualities.

Took a gal to "Desperado" on a first date... I had read a favorable review in the paper, believe it or not. It was awful, especially as a date movie. We lasted about 30 minutes, looked at each other, and got up and left.

It wasn't a total loss though, because a) I got a refund on the tickets, and b) I took her back to her place and banged her.

A few:

Rocky

It’s alive

Scream

Waterboy

Gran Torino

Damn it!

Why’d you have to make this thread??!!

Yes!!!!!!!! The answer is yes!!!!!

A truly low moment of my life. He year Fight Club came out, everyone raved about it. I was dying to see it in the theatres, and my fat girlfriend at the time ( another low moment picking that fat cow) talked me into seeing some fu$&ing movie called “ Krippendorf’s Tribe’” . Ahhhh!!!

Damn it!!!! Walked out of that one and left fatty behind.....

Wasn't watching in a theater, but nearly turned off "Fargo". Most overrated movie of all time. Genuinely don't understand why it's so popular.

You don't happen to be Republican, do you?

Royal Tenenbaums

Wish I walked out of "Cousins" with Ted Danson

American Beauty

Yes. Big Momma’s House 2. Thr first one was excellent but the sequel lacked character depth.

Avatar and The Last Jedi.

I've never looked at a wood chipper the same after Fargo.

I wanted to leave in the middle of Walk in the Woods (with Redford & Nolte) about hiking the Appalachian Trail. I liked the Bill Bryson book, but this movie was terrible!

I walked out of Sack Lunch

Ya, that was pretty bad, but I just saw it at home.

I didn't really like the book either. Bryson came across as a real d!ck.
