I've hardly ever walked out of a film when at the cinema, in the hope of it getting better, but I just had to with this one, utter utter garbage....

It's a sequel, how could you be surprised at the content?
I enjoyed it, but then I knew what to expect and there is no way I would have shelled out to see it at the cinema.

Didn't walk out as I was with lady friends (it was their pick) but fell asleep during Four Weddings. Dire from the very start.

Closet I've come to walking out was during the Arnie/DeVito ste-fest that was Junior.

I didn't, as I was supposed to be meeting my mate there (he didn't turn up) & having a pint afterwards (pre-mobiles) & the cinema in York city centre early in the week was £1.50.

I so wanted to walk out of this but I was right in the middle of a fully-packed row (ah, the good ol days) and didn't want to piss everyone off. I've seen some boring films but this one is the only one that made me want to leave. Shame as I loved the first one.

I wasn't surprised at the content, the first film was quite watchable, but you never know with sequels if the are going to be better, or worse. I have a Cineworld Unlimited card so I often go to see films that I might not otherwise pay to take a chance on. But rarely is a film ever that bad that I have to walk out. But this one was.

I think the only one was Antichrist as it was just so damn boring and up its own arse. Three quarters through and the pub beckoned.

Playmobil Movie. Utter garbage, a kids movie that starts with a kid losing his parents, then it gets worse. My then 4 year old thankfully gave up on it so we left.

On my own...tempted during Red Sparrow which I was just not enjoying in the slightest, quite a nasty film.

I go to Screen Unseen screenings a lot so seeing quite a few walkouts is not uncommon.

Bit different, but desperate for a wee during Tenet this week, I was in the middle and had people either side (on the ends) so hung on desperately.

The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas, utter garbage!

A few films the wife has dragged me along to see, I've dropped off, problem is, start to snore!

Locke. It took me about 20 minutes to realise Tom Hardy’s accent was supposed to be Welsh, another 10 to be bored witless and a few more before I was done.

Off topic: Sorry, you fell asleep in the 1st one (which is not the same as walking out) but then went back to the cinema 3 more times, only to do the same thing each time.....why, just to prove how much of a pretentious muppet your are? Or did you really only do it in the 1st one and are now embellishing the story to sound superior?

Back on topic: Kung Fu something or other, can't remember the title properly. It was meant to be a comedy spoof kung fu film, I got as far as the main guy having a martial arts fight with a dairy cow and literally said " I'am out" and left my mate killing himself laughing alone in the cinema.

12 Years a Slave - i got a txt to say my car was ready for collection - missed the last 30 mins.

Hannibal film, the scene where Ray Liotta gets served his brain. A few folk walked out at that. I managed to stay.

Unbreakable - It's not a bad movie, I was just mis-sold the film due to a terrible trailer which made the original concept seem more like a "traditional" action/super-hero story with train crashes and building blowing up etc whilst a man slowly discovers he's a super-hero.

Instead it was slow paced, thoughtful film filled with family drama with the events mentioned above only briefly shown in flash-backs as a as a back-story.

I was disappointed with Unbreakable when I saw it at the cinema. Perhaps my own fault as I saw it off the back of seeing Pulp Fiction. I assumed it would be just as great as Pulp Fiction seeing as it starred Jackson & Wilis again, but it wasn't. Upon the recent release of Glass, I rewatched Unbreakable and really enjoyed it, perhaps because I had different expectations.
