For me it was Lincoln and The Hate U Give. I gave the movies a chance but 30 mins in I just wasn't feeling them. I think for THUG it was a secret showing at a cinema and I'd gone in with the expectation of an action/comedy movie so may not have been in the right frame of mind.

Dude, where's my car?

We saw it after we went to see the shaft movie and got free passes because film burned - it really did that! - at a quiet point with palmieri. We lost the 5 slow minutes in that film.

We saw it on free passes and I still wanted my money back; but I sat through every minute and hated it instead because the tickets were still ours and formerly-poor kids don't waste stuff like that.

I know this isn’t going to be popular but I walked out of Inglorious Bastards. I felt like it was so boring and the long bits of dialog just seemed to drag on forever.

Zoolander 2. I should've walked out with them.

I wish that I had walked out of D-War /Dragon Wars back in 2007. That movie was such a piece of shit that I begrudge the minutes of my life that I'll never get back. There's like five cool minutes of some wyverns flying around fighting helicopters and the rest isn't just bad, it's boring. Go watch Reign of Fire instead and see Matthew McConaughey get absolutely unhinged. Definitely the superior trashy dragon movie.

The Nun. Imagine a horror movie where the pitch is "nothing happens for 2 hours"

LOL yes! As soon as the urethra spoke, one third of the audience left. Yeah it's a bad movie but I loved how the audience squirmed.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I think the first people left after the scene where the camera POV enters the urethra

X-Men 3 The Last Stand

I think I got like 45 minutes into it and left. No way I was going to sit through another hour of that.

My mom and I walked out of Jurassic Park 3 and into Artificial Intelligence and we weren't the only ones. To this day, I haven't seen all of either film, but after seeing Jurassic World maybe I was too harsh on JP3. I remember quite liking what I saw of AI. I should rewatch it from the start.

Went to an outdoor screening of La Dolce Vita. Some friends that came with us left about halfway through. I know it’s supposed to be a classic but it just didn’t land for me at all.

Dracula Untold. I don't know why I thought it might be good but the first quarter or so that I stayed awake through just seemed like he needed marriage counseling or something.

Emoji movie. Only parents with kids remained.

I think that anyone going into it should have expected exactly what they got.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I actually didn't hate it! But I know it wasn't critically good.

"The Transporter Refueled". Living in a smaller city in Northern Canada with three screens... We had a Tuesday night cheap movie night group that would go to whatever was playing, then to the pub afterwards. Small city -- something to do. We had seen a lot of bad movies as a result, but this was the worst. At the end of the movie, everyone had left except our small group. We're masochists, apparently.

I love shitty C tier action movies. Great way to pass the time.

Unpopular opinion, but I left Oppenheimer at the 40 minutes mark. The main character was so unlikable, the movie pretentious, and I hated there was some kind of trial going on, but I had no context. So I left and did something better with my time.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Same. I stopped after about 20 minutes. I love science and know the history, so the art part ended up feeling waaaay too pretentious being dragged out for extra seconds in every damn scene. No wonder the movie's so long when they're wanking every scene...
