The people in front of me walked out during Argylle. It was far too long.

I was really close leaving the cinema twice in my life. First time was the movie "2012". Second time the First "Hobbit" Movie

I never saw people walk out of a terrible movie in the theater except myself, when my girlfriend, my roommates and I walked out of Johnny Mnemonic. After hearing about the dolphin, I think we made the right move.

Also, I have a people walking out of a good movie story: My dad was a film historian and also wrote movie reviews. The Last Temptation of Christ had just come out. It was only showing in a handful of theaters in the country. We drove up to Chicago to see it. There was a crowd of Christians protesting outside behind a barrier and there was a metal detector and bag search, which was totally unprecedented. While watching the movie, every so often some Christian would get angry and storm out.

I was only 11 at the time (my parents had no idea what was an appropriate movie for a child), so I didn't remember the movie at all when I re-watched it as an adult. But it's not like Scorsese is a bad filmmaker, so of course it was a good movie.

It wasn't me, but Pan's Labyrinth had quite the exodus of parents with their younger kids when someone was beaten with a bottle and shot to death very early on.

The only movie I ever walked out was Brother Bear. Maybe I was already to old (26ish) but that was too cringy and kitschy for me.

Asteroid City

It is Wes Anderson's movie. Really out there even for him.

I quite liked it. But a couple sitting in the same row first started shifting in their seats. Fake laughing at weird moments. Then whispering. 5 mins later they walked out with an obvious fuck this i dont care strut.
No one else left, but you could feel others were considering it.

Just a few weeks ago: Madame Web.

I've never walked out of a movie, but I remember watching people walk out of Ong Bak because they were pissed that it wasn't in English.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (4 children)

This is why Europeans make fun of Americans. Reading subtitles is not that hard. I've been doing it without any problems since I was 5 years old

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm from the UK, so we're European...but that applies to us too. Our response to anything other than English is to just speak English a bit louder.

Their loss, Ong Bak was enjoyable as. I wonder how it holds up today.

The oryginal Suicide Squad.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yup. Remade a couple of years ago as "The Suicide Squad". Haven't seen it, but heard it's pretty decent

Fitting first example - I once rented Eragon on DVD, and turned it off after at most 15 minutes because it was so bad. Don't think even serving a life sentence I could become bored enough to reconsider watching that...

The Favourite.

For the life of me I cannot understand what I was meant to take from this film. It was art, sure, but not art that resonated with me.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Batman and Robin.

First movie I walked out of, about the time they were driving around on the rooftops. Abysmal.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Aww i enjoyed it, such a campy romp.
