The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen remains the only movie I've ever walked out of.

There are so many awesome car chases in movies. You don't like any of them?
if there's an absurdist element to it, like "the chase" or this mad max movie, i can enjoy them. but they are so blatantly disassociated with reality that i usually can't get over it. it's nit picky, i admit, and there are other unrealistic things that i'm ok with, so i'm not even consistent. but car chases are usually a "look at what we can do!" thing that doesn't impress or entertain me.

I didn't think LOEG was the THAT bad. Not great, but certainly not terrible.

I walked out of Accepted. I had free tickets and after around 20-30 minutes my friend and I said this is the dumbest thing I've ever seen.

I hated Transformers Age of Extinction this summer, I considered walking out of that too.

When I see a movie at the theater its usually something I'm really looking forward to, so its rare I hate them.

it's kind of fun from a guilty pleasure point of view. Especially if you knew about a lot of the characters. Like "oh there's Dorian Grey! oh and Captain Nemo!"

but as a movie it was crap

I haven't gone back to it since I walked out. Maybe I should give it a second chance. That was 12 years ago, after all.

eh, I don't think you should go out and intentionally watch it. It's one of those movies where you only watch it if you're flipping through the channels and don't have anything better to watch.

Eh, I guess I get that.

BTW, anybody see Dracula Untold? It looked pretty good, but I forgot about it until now.

I was working at Fox when it came out, and got to see it on my lunch break on the lot. I felt walking out would have been disrespectful to my employer.

Worked there for two years, and the movies I got see on the lot pre-release were: Revenge of the Sith, AVP, LEOG. Woohoo.

I'm surprised you lasted 10 minutes. More than I did watching it on tv.

What is the worst movie you have ever seen?
Jaws: The Revenge
He-Man: Masters Of The Universe
Highlander II: The Quickening
Battlefield Earth

Obviously excluding nonsense like 'Sharknado' and whatnot.

I haven't walked out of any movies, but the only movies I've fallen asleep during are Braveheart and Kingdom of Heaven.

My now wife made me go see this movie. I sat through the whole thing wondering what I did wrong in a former life.

Actually, i will change my answer, because Sin City 2 was so horrid on so many levels that I had blacked it out.

Apologies to you LSoH fans.

Although that movie still is a chunkblow.

I caught this at the drive in on Rt. 30 in Latrobe. I was too young to know how awful it was.

Okay, this talk about Mad Max has made me realize a few things. First, I have absolutely no recollection of what the original movie was about. Second, I didn't know that George Miller directed the originals. Third, after realizing point 2, I took to the internet and learned that George Miller also directed or wrote 'The Witches of Eastwick', 'Babe' and 'Happy Feet'.

I can't imagine walking out of a movie. That movie was bad, but was definitely still funny.

I guess to be fair I walked out of Jurassic Park 3D whenever that was out. We thought the 3D sucked. Neither of us like 3D in general, but it was Jurassic Park in the theater so we had to do it again. We didn't have to do it again though.

I love the movie, but I nearly walked out. Girl I was there with had apparently dated a stuntman (claimed to have been an ex-SEAL, who knows) who played an Iraqi army extra. Every time he was on screen she'd say, "There's Ted!", or whatever his name was.

Did you know we had this exact same exchange already? In November.
I walked out of Three Kings because the oil torture scene devastated the girl I was dating and she made us leave.
The girl I was seeing when that came out had dated one of the stunt guys/Iraqi extras in the film (who was apparently an ex-operator of some kind). Every time he appeared on screen, she'd say "There he is!" Yup. There he is. Again.

Oh, ****.

My mistake. I asked tif

"Did you know..."

An already redundant clause before it even got fully underway.
