Films that were so crap you walked out of the Cinema...

[Narcisus]

3 for me :

The Company of Wolves
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
Solomon Kane

[Deranged Rover]

I would have liked to have walked out of Moulin Rouge, but was right in the middle of the row and those around me seemed to be enjoying it.

Christ knows why...

[ChocolateFrog]

Torque

Think that's the only one I've actually walked out of.

[shakotan]

Napoleon Dynamite

There must have been about another 20 people in the cinema. We lasted about an hour and we were the last to walk out. Told the staff they might as well turn the film off as there was no-one left in there.

I've only ever done it once. I normally really want to see a movie before committing to going to the cinema but many years ago I went along and picked a film based on a couple of reviews and little else.

In & Out with Matt Dillon and Kevin Kline. Think I lasted 30 minutes.

I absolutely loved that movie but yeah, I can see why it's a marmite film

Don't think I've ever walked out on a film, but feel I should have with Howard the Duck and Highlander II.

Fell asleep through Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome though.

Prometheus. Utter dogst, badly written, terribly acted dross. I won't go to the cinema now unless I'm 100% convinced the film will be amazing.
Saying that, the last time I went was to watch a showing of Alien and the final scene was ruined by the sound of the Queen movie bleeding through from the next screen at full volume. Ripley tensely trying to get into her spacesuit to the sound of "Who want to live forever", fk off cinema.

Never walked out of a film, but there were two that in retrospect we should have, Aloha and Jackie.

Jackie just seemed to be another emperors new clothes film where the reviews got all excited and everyone else thought it was crap. Aloha, well I still have no idea what the hell that mess is all about. What is annoying is at the time I had cheap cinema tickets during the week and we paid full price to see both of these at the weekend.

[Evil Jack]

Waterworld with Kevin Costner.

I knew from the opening scene I was not onto a winner with this one....

[Radec]

A Most Violent Year

I went with a ex at the time and we were going through a rough patch so had a date night to see if we could rekindle things.

Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain in a gangster film, it should be good right.

It was st and boring and I'm sure we were both thinking when will it end.

We didn't walk out but it just put a further downer on things.

Wish I'd picked something else.

[take-good-care-of-the-forest-dewey]

Of course not... I'm from Yorkshire I've paid for the ticket. Madness!

[Fastchas]

Batman v Superman

[Milkyway]

To be honest, no I haven’t.
But I went with an ex to see Wanted...we got a bit confused & ended up watching The Happening.
The opening sequence looked promising... but the rest of the film was just utter tosh after that.
We survived the ordeal... just, but so tempted to ask for a refund.

Closest I came was Grimsby. I still haven’t forgiven Mark Strong.

[shih tzu faced]

Never actually walked out but a couple of howlers spring to mind.

One of the later Police Academy films was atrocious. The moment I’d had enough was when Hightower started wrestling with a crocodile. The first film of the franchise was actually ok but they’d just stretched the joke too far with this turd.

Also Beaches, not so much a bad film as just completely unsuitable for me. Went with a mate to the cinema, just picked a film that we knew nothing about and in we went. Not many others there but they were nearly all women. Turns out it’s a dreary tear-jerking chick flick and us two must have looked a right pair of plums sat there watching it.

My all-time 'worst film'.

Remember watching it when it came out. Was looking forward to seeing some bike 'action' but lasted only as long as the part where someone on a bike did an instant 'wheelie' (from stationary) between train carriages, turning 90 degrees as they did so and did some sort of bike leap up onto the roof.

Absolute and utter dogs**t.

[Mr MXT]

Twice.

Once was “Bruno”, the second was the first Superman film with Henry Cavill (?)

I feel like if you gave me a week I'd be able to learn enough to create better CGI than that film had.

[Wacky Racer]

Took my three lads who were 10, 8 and 6 to see Toy Story many years ago.

I fell asleep five minutes into the film and woke up during the end credits..... Lads still laugh about it now.


I remember my dad taking us to see Lawrence of Arabia in Stockport around 1962, I think that lasted fifteen minutes before he dragged us out..
