Only movie I've ever walked out on (and I've seen some extreme stinkers) was the remake of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." Revisited it a while back and didn't have such a nauseous reaction. Thanks mostly to Deep Roy.
My local IMAX theater was being refurbished and re-opened with "FearDotCom" being one of the movies they were showing. Years and years later, my friends and I still joke about how bad that was.
I don't mean 'so bad it's good' movies (I LOVE those) or a movie that makes you glance at your watch. Just your all time sour tastes.
Anybody got one?

At the cinema, it was a mid 1980s adventure / romance movie with Sean Penn and Madonna called shanghai surpise 1986). As a teenager, I'd never really had a 'bad' experience at the cinema until that day. I didn't even realise it was possible to make something that rotten.
otherwise, highlander 2 in 1991 remains the most disappointing cinema visit ever. We sat their groaning through it, like most of the audience.

Horny teenagers that we were back in 1978, my friends and I got hooked (by a movie trailer aired to give the impression it was a VERY sexy, R-rated movie) into going to see the movie Restless (which unbeknownst to us, had been made many years earlier, and re-titled, and re-released under a number of different names), 'starring' a VERY fetching Raquel Welch (in her prime), but were DEVASTATED upon realizing it was nothing more than a VERY boring foreign melodrama......but most importantly, that it had absolutely NO sex AT ALL in it !! Like you, it was the ONLY film I have ever walked out on (we ended up leaving that theater, and walked down the hall to instead see The Seniors, starring (well.....including, any way) a VERY young Dennis Quaid in one of his earliest roles.......and though it's not a great movie, it at least had sex and nudity in it, and thus, ended up 'saving' the night!).  SAVE FERRIS |

I really wanted to walk out on "Harold and Kumar Go to Guantanamo" but my GF at the time wouldn't.
That movie is 5,000 times awful from last Sunday.

At Cinema:
The Wicker Man
I saw it with a friend. He bailed and hung out in the lobby and left me alone to see the rest of the shitty film.
Pulse
Again saw it with the same friend. He brought along his o worker. I dont know what was wrong with him but he smelled. Seriously it was like he was decomposing.
Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace
Some asshole started smoking and puffs of smoke were rising at the screen
At Home:
Gods Not Dead
I saw Suicide Squad the night before and I know its not a loved film but I thought it was a really fun film. I very much enjoyed it. The next day I saw Gods Not Dead and my brain did a 180. I went from film I had fun with to the worst piece of shit I ever seen. I was seriously depressed after watching this hateful, mean, bigoted piece of ass film.

Me and my friends walked out of the first Ghost Rider;obviously we had good taste to begin with. But I’ve lucked out when it came to audience etiquette.

- I walked out on Billy Madison during the opening credits. (The group I was with decided to see it and I just couldn't sit through it)
- A mentally challenged person in the audience went nuts during The Green Mile, charged the screen and beat on it a few times until the person they were with calmed him down and walked him out.
- The film broke down in the closing moments of Twelve Monkeys (it's a twist ending for those who haven't seen it), so I had to come back and see it again the next night.
- A few weeks ago a dude a few rows behind me had an emergency phone call and he told them to call 911 and bolted out the door. I guess that was his worst experience more than mine.

This didn't happen to me but I remember that a friend of mine back when I was in High School went to see "JURASSIC PARK III" at the Movie Theater and apparently at some point during the movie, a guy in the back of the theater got up and actually started quietly doing karate.

I had a real good friend in high school whom I used to go see quite a few movies with in the early to mid '90s. After we graduated we'd still go to the movies quite a bit but he started hanging out with a pretty low down group of people that he met while working at Bennigan's (the chain of restaurants lampooned in "Waiting"). We all went to go see Kiss the Girls and one or two of the guys that we were with starting throwing their shoes before the movie started. I was put off but I didn't know the guys much at all so just kept my mouth shut. There were two or three other people not with us that complained to the theater manager (rightfully so), and my friend's "friends" were thrown out of the theater. I ended up leaving too since I had driven to the theater in the same car. I told my friend that if he invited those guys with us again I wasn't going. I guess he chose them over me because we rarely hung out after that night. Guess that's how it goes.

I was with my wife and we were looking to go to the movies. My brother recommended Open Water. He actually told us it was one of the best movies he has ever seen. Needless to say, I was very disappointed. It was dreadful and hilariously the entire theater was empty by the time the movie ended. It was packed when we got there.

Reading some of these I guess I've been pretty lucky.
Age of Ultron was fine but there were some hiccups at the beginning. It froze a couple of times during the open fight scene and at first people were joking, but then they started demanding they restart the movie properly (which they did).
Mickey Mouse compared to some stories here. The people in the booth just needed to get their shit together, and they did so that's that.

Loving these. Especially that many take place pre-2000, pre-internet, and pre-multiplex...when going to the movies was a little more of a gamble...
In 1981, my mother and father decided they could finally have a date night, after deciding I (the eldest sibling) was cool to leave in charge of the younger kids. They wanted to see "Chariots of Fire." Being still the most absent-minded and strange man I've ever met, Dad mistakenly took her to "Quest for Fire"...which if you haven't seen, is a movie about cavemen who communicate only in grunts. It's not a bad movie at all, and you get to see a great performance from a young Ron Perlman. Needless to say, they were both a bit surprised. Some other viewers must have been too, because apparently a fight broke out and the booth paused the movie to deal with it.
When it came out on home release, they got a copy and watched it every anniversary as a tradition. Though they laughed about it for years afterward, I guess at the time Mom was really pissed!

My friend at work got dragged against his will by his girlfriend to see PRINCESS F**KIN'CARABOO as he called it. He stormed out and left her there, they broke up over it for awhile. I have have never seen it, I'm a bit scared to.  |

I've walked out om Lawrence of Arabia when I was about 13 years old
I walked out on Armegeddon
I walked out on Species.
But my worst viewing experience happened in 1971, when my girlfriend, who was going to art school, brought me to see 'Tales of Beatrix Potter'.
I thought the movie was animation, so I took some mescaline.
OH MY GOD. When the dancing started, I began laughing uncontrollably. I had to pull my shirt up over my face so to be as muted as possible, as there were many kids in the audience.
Geez, I thought it would never end. Fortunately, my girlfriend wasn't too pissed off at me.

Saw Return of the Jedi in 1983 and some guy a few rows behind spent half the movie talking about some boy in the audience having a haircut like a girl. Neurotic as I was, I assumed he meant me (not that I wore hair--usually it was more like a crewcut but I didnt like how my hair looked). His girlfriend said "what's wrong with her hair?" and he said, "its a boy--that is what I mean, its a terrible hairdo."
Explorers and Creepshow 2 were the most disappointing movie experiences until Robocop 2, and then The Phantom Menace.

Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland.
Good lord. Avatar whet my appetite for 3D, a few weeks later, Alice killed it for all time.
My #1 pick for worst film ever made.

I thought Robocop 2 was fucking great.
I really liked TB's version of Alice in Wonderland.
To each their own.
