Have you ever walked out of a movie??


If so what...

I remember as a child we walked out of "Arachnophobia".

In retrospect we shouldn't have...we walked right into the ending of "Dick Tracy".

The Fate of the Furious (2017). I've never been into those movies and I went to a Saturday morning show on April 15, 2017. I didn't really want to see it but there was nothing else really playing that interested me and I was looking to get my mind off the Boston Marathon that I was scheduled to run 2 days later that I hadn't trained for and was kinda freaking out. Anyway I got through the opening sequence where Vin Diesel won a street race by driving a car that was on fire backwards and I realized how little I wanted to be there and left lol.

And if anyone is wondering I managed to drag my butt across the finish line in the lightning fast time of 5 hours and 55 minutes (to be officially recognized you need to finish within 6 hours so I left myself 4 minutes and change).

I watched that recently, but i was in the right mindset, i was like:
Right ,i'm gonna settle down for for a copuiple of hiours of the most ludicrous impossible stuopid ass car stunts ever put to film

Typically no. I don’t think I’ve ever walked out of a movie because of its quality. I had to walk out of one or two movies because of an illness, but that’s about it.

Of course. No need to torture myself. When it comes to free or even rented movies at home, I'll "walk out" (by not finishing) all the time. But I have no qualms about walking out of a movie at a movie theater, either.

Mom and I had to leave "Three Kings" early because we were about ready to barf. The camera movement and gratuitous gore became too much for us, particularly near the end when one of the soldiers got shot, and you could see his lungs struggling for air. We'd had enough by then. Mom and I hung out in the bathroom for the last 20 minutes of the movie, (we did keep our cookies down), and my dad and brother finished and joined us in the theater lobby.


My grandpa walked out of "The Fifth Element" when Ruby Rhod showed up. He didn't bother me nearly as much as he did my grandpa, but I guess grandpa didn't like loud, insanely dressed clowns that acted as radio DJ's in the 24th century.

Both great movies.

My dad walked us out of Bad Santa. My brother was real young and he realized he made a mistake lol. Oddly enough though, he brought me to see Starship Troopers when I was 4, we stayed for the whole thing but he thought it was going to be a star wars like kids movie. I was instantly surprised when the locker room scene hit lol.

I know there was one movie that I walked out of but I cant remember what it was. It was comedy that was too stupid. It might have been a million ways to die in the west but I'm not sure. I think it was another one. I would have walked out of the recent tomb raider movie but I was with my boyfriend and his friends, so I just went to sleep because I was already tired.

Bump...

only due to technical foul-ups.

the first time i went to see parasite, they screened it with french subtitles & didn't fix it after 20 minutes despite a few requests, so i took a refund on that one.

& there was a weird glitch that made a screening of dunkirk look blurry & pixelated, so i left that one as well.

i've never seen anything so awful that i thought i couldn't take another 60 minutes of it. i've been bored & annoyed, but i can handle being a little bored and annoyed for 90m. & you never know...it might get better.

walked out of star wars the last jedi and more recently endgame comic book movie, I was late to the party and was the only one in the theater and I have been pretty picky lately, I don't own a tv right now.
