I've never walked out. But there were a few times where within the first five minutes, I knew I'd made a mistake purchasing a ticket. Specifically with Scary Movie 2 and Man of Steel.

I walked out of the theater on:
Ken Russell's "Tommy"
Robert Altman's "Shortcuts" (poor Raymond Carver)
James Cameron's "Titanic" (before the action started aka the "big sink.)
I'm sure there are others, but these were memorable.

Casino Royale. Absolutely nothing to do with the film, but the idiots I went with booked front row seats which ended up being so close my nose might as well have been pressed up against the screen. About 15 minutes in I felt like I was giving myself whiplash looking from one side of the screen to the other

Don't think I've ever walked out on a movie. I would fall asleep before I ever walk out.

I've never walked out of a movie. The only time I ever left a movie theatre before the movie was over was because the whole cineplex lost power and they didn't know how long it would be off. Got my money back. The movie was Midnight in the garden of good and evil and I was enjoying it. The power cut just before the big reveal of who the actual murderer was 15 minutes before the movie ended

Went to the cinema once last decade and not at all this decade. So never walked out on a film but have stopped dozens at home.

The Artist. It didn't have any of the magic of the silent films of the '20s. Looked like a regular film, turned black and white, with no talking. The actors didn't seem to understand the kind of acting silent films need to make meaningful drama. Kept waiting for something to happen to keep me in my seat. It didn't, and I left. |

"Trekkies", 1997, an actual film about Star Trek fans that's supposed to be a roast on such people but wasn't; just a straight tribute and bore..oh yeah. I was the ONLY one in the THEATRE!

Taken 3. I'm pretty easy to please when it comes to movies, but this one became painful to watch so I left.

I too was one who always finished a movie once it had started but find that I no longer have the patience to sit through total schlock. Recently, I have abandoned "The Blair Witch Project", "Hollow Man", "Cowboys and Aliens", "The Saint", "The Great Outdoors", and "Any Which Way You Can". I should have nuked "Man on the Moon" and "The Mexican" but I stayed with them to their un-satisfying ends. Surprised but not that people have different tastes I really enjoyed "The Blair Witch Project", "Hollow Man" "The Saint", "The Great Outdoors". the rest I agree on. |

I never walked out of a movie but once I wanted to. Back in the mid 90's I saw Something to Talk About with Julia Roberts. It was so bad I wanted to leave after 20 minutes.

Rob Zombie's "Halloween II" Loved his first remake, couldn't take the sequel. Haven't seen it yet but its a dude uh? I think you meant to say dud! And no, it's not a dud and I think Zombie's Halloween II is far superior to his misguided remake, which I wholly despise. H2 is terrific! |

Arthur Penn's THE MISSOURI BREAKS-76'
Nicholas Roeg's BAD TIMING-80'
Both of these boring and pretentious films were several years after release at retro double features. Thank God they were second billed.
HOT TO TROT-88'
THE PATRIOT-00'
LAST MAN STANDING-96' THE RELIC-97'
THE HURT LOCKER-09'

I've only walked out of two movies: Flatliners and Gus van Sant's remake of Psycho. I'd have walked out of Splitting Heirs, but it was raining... My folks walked out of Flatliners-90' and I have never forgiven them. |
