For me it was the Assassin's Creed movie... Imo, that movie even makes Eragon look like a fucking Oscar winner

I literally fell asleep and started snoring during "At Eternity's Gate", the one where the Willem Dafoe looking up meme is taken from. It was so boring... My girlfriend poked me in the ribs and I woke up to people around me laughing at me.

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.

[–] Kyrrrr@lemmynsfw.com 14 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Reign of fire is a masterpiece of dragon fiction. Christian bale, Gerard butler, and shirtless, bald, McConaughey with a tank and an axe (for what ever reason). What else could one ask for?

Robocop. When the bad guys kills Murphy a lot of people walked out the theater. Was enough for them. I keep watching the movie, I was 13-14 at the time, and quite enjoying the film. Animatronics was nice back then and the plot, where a guy die working and someone bring him back to keep working, was ok.

Wow, I never knew Jimmy from Downton Abbey was in Eragon. Goddamn, and Jeremy Irons and Djimon Hounsou? This movie was stacked and yet it failed so hard. Bad writing or what?

I've definitely been a few movies where I should have walked out. I watched Highlander 2 in the cinema for example which is probably one of the worst movies I've sat through ever.

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.

My wife, son and I walked out of Will Ferrell's "Holmes and Watson". Terrible.

I left halfway through An American Werewolf in Paris. London was a friggin classic. Paris was poorly acted, treated the audience like idiots, and was campy as hell (and not in a good way).

I remember David Cronenberg once saying in an interview that when Crash screened at Cannes, there were times you couldn’t hear the movie over the sound of people storming out.

[–] yamanii@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Some people walked out of that Dragonball live action movie, but I stayed because I was enjoying my rage.

I walked out of American Pie, which I entered by mistake. Got it confused with American Beauty. Talk about culture shock.

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.

I stayed as well as most of the audience but when I sat for Kill Bill, at least 10 people got up and walked out when O-Ren Ishii took the head off Tanaka.

[–] ouRKaoS 14 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I always considered Kill Bill v1 an "in-genre parody," it's supposed to be over the top and ridiculous! I was laughing the whole time!

There was a movie I saw with my gf at the time, I want to say it was Alexander (2004) but I think it was something else. Alexander was pretty bad. The theater was empty so instead of leaving she gave me a handy, so not all was lost.

It might have been The New World (2005).

Edit: it was The New World. Also I came into a Panda Express bag, not 100% sure why we had it or how we got it in. I guess we finished up our lunch in the theater. Wanted to elaborate so nobody thought I just came on the back of the seat in front of me or something. I'm not a barbarian.

Godzilla 2000, it was the worst most boring piece of shit I've ever experienced.

Bonus, In the name of the King. I didn't walk out because one of my friends was being stubborn, but another friend and I spent 1/3 of the movie wandering around the theatre cause we just needed breaks.

I don't even hate Uwe Boll, we saw House of the Dead and enjoyed it, even if ironically.

I can only think of one. The original movie of The Barnyard. It's a kids movie, of course, and it was never going to be great, but kids were asking to leave that movie. That's impressive.
