Have you ever walked out on a movie?

[Sophie Scholl]

I Spy with Owen Wilson and Eddie Murphy.  I might have walked out of Anchorman when I saw it in the theater because everyone I was with was too tanked to finish it.  I worked at a theater for 5 years and saw both of those for free.  There were definitely movies I wish I had walked out of/never walked into.  Taking turns picking movies in a group setting can lead to terrible results.

I walked out on the second matrix movie and the second Star Wars prequel.  I am sure I would have walked out of the third Alien movie and the third Terminator movie, but I was wise enough never to walk into those.

I was somewhat tempted to walk out on Avatar once I realized that they were going to follow the script of Pocahontas right to the end, but by then I had realized that all the talented artists had done the critters and the crap artists got stuck doing characters, and I was amused by the sudden shifts in the quality of the CGI.  I had to see how far that went.  In the end, I found that element of the movie to be redeeming enough that I was glad I stayed.

I found the Avatar movie derivative, trite, and dull (extremely well done derivative, trite, and dull; yeah that thing's possible), and I entertained myself looking for bad CGI on the background. Some of the work on the wilderness is really shoddy.

The movie where I saw the most walkouts was South Park (I loved the film myself). It happened that the property wasn't still very known in Spain when the film came out, and a lot of parents thought "animated film = take the children to it" with hilarious consequences. I thought those were really lazy parents though, even if you don't bother researching what are you taking your children to, there's a rating system for a reason.

A couple of times, mostly in Germany when the cinephile club announced an original version screening yet delivered a German-dubbed print. Rosenknop, Rosenknop: nein, nein, nein! That's Citizen Kane's early words auf Deutsch.

Little Miss Sunshine and The Avengers 2.

We walked out of the Hitchikers' Guide to Galaxy movie.  My wife and I didn't understand what was going on and didn't find it funny.

I hope you're not including Anchorman as one to never see.

I am not sure - maybe once. But then I rarely go to a cinema - the ads at the beginning drive me nuts since I always forget not to be on time - prefer watching movies at home.

I did walk out of a play or opera performance once or twice, though.

[celedhring]

I walked out of a play once, but that was because it started later than announced and I had to absolutely be at another place before it had ended.

The play was sucky, anyway.

It's grown on me, but I don't love it nearly as much as a lot of my friends do.  The same goes for Step Brothers and Zoolander.

[Josquius]

I'm sure I did once. When I was with a large group of friends. But  can't for the life of me remember what.

[Grey Fox]

I can only remember once, when I walked out of the worse movie ever made : Traffic.

[Brazen]

No. I came closest during Event Horizon but I was trapped in the middle of a row. I had to leave to throw up during 2010, but not due to the film.

[Martinus]

I remember actually falling asleep during a movie once. It was a week night in January and I was very tired after work. I was also on a date and it was Avatar. I think I slept through the middle of the movie.

[Kleves]

Never. The closest I've ever come to walking out was during The Amazing Spider-Man. If I wasn't with a group, I may have.
