I was escorted out of a movie once.
The movie was called Quarantine. I don't remember if there were, but I don't remember any warnings before going to see the movie or when the movie started. So anyways there's a lot of flashing in the movie and I had multiple seizures.
I walked out of the first lord of the rings an hour and a Half in when it was still character building. I mentioned to my gf at the time and she said it'll prob be 3 years before the second part and 6+ for the third. And no, obviously I never read The books.
I hate watching series waiting a week between cliffhangers... Couldn't care less to wait years.. Still haven't caught up.
They came out in 2001, 2002, and 2003 which was a cinematic triumph at the time because he secured funding and filming rights to film all three movies at the same time.
Key and Peeles “Us” was atrocious I tried to stick it out thinking it would get better but.. walked out.
I never have. Once a movie goes bad, I have to see how bad it can get, for posterity.
Now that's commitment, my dudes out here making posters about every bad movie he sees in theatres!
Ad Astra - Good potential, abysmal execution
What even was the plot of that movie, I watched it years later on DVD and it seemed like several movies in one and none of them had bugger all to do with each other. Nice VFX mind.
Moulin Rouge.
So this one I can 100% agree that if I had saw it in theatres, I would have absolutely walked out of it. When I watched it on DVD at home with family and friends I had to leave the room because I was getting motion sickness from all the fast moving shots and 1 second long cuts happening constantly.
I didn't walk out of the Avatar movie, but most people did. Halfway through someone opened the door to the theater and yelled in, "avatar sucks!" Normally I'd be a bit put out by such a disturbance, but in this case it was actually the most enjoyable and funniest part of the movie. (Last Airbender just in case)
Is this avatar or airbender you’re talking about (you mentioned both)? I thoroughly enjoyed Avatar as have most people I’ve mentioned it to.
I was at one too. but it wasnt cause the movie was terrible, it was cause the projectionist was.. Movie was horribly out of focus, and about 7 feet too far to the left, and down too low that you could only see the top half of the film.
Tiny little shithole theatre refused refunds for it, too. It comes as no shock that it was bulldozed a few years later.
My dad and I walked out of Clockers. Too violent.
Date Movie. It only took one for me to swear off Friedberg and Setzer
I walked out of American Pie, which I entered by mistake. Got it confused with American Beauty. Talk about culture shock.
Somehow my Mom bought tickets for the movie Idle Hands when me and my siblings were small instead of Anna and the King. We didn't last very long in the first film before the manager let us move to the right movie.
The Watchmen. It dragged on far too much, and all of my friends decided to walk out due to how boring we found it.
Oh man, I loved that movie though.
