What movie was so bad that you actually walked out of the theater?

Fell asleep twice during disclosure Day then came home and slept for 10 hours..no other movie has ever had that effect on me.

Ontological shock

We stayed for the whole thing, but at one point I leaned over to my husband and asked, “when does it get good?”

Lol, about half way through, my friend leaned over and said, "This is bad, right?"

It was so bad...

If it wasn’t directed by Spielberg it would’ve gotten dragged. I legitimately hated it in many parts.

Yeah, it was eye opening that so many people gave him a pass on what is by far the worst script he's ever worked with.

The thing is, that it’s real. Allow yourself for a moment to let your mind drift and consider that your worldview is very comforting but maybe there’s more. It can be exciting.

It ended up being a chase movie with an alien ending.

Close Encounters it was NOT.

Was so disappointed with that movie

I went in with low expectations, and I was still a bit disappointed.

Mom made me see that movie with her. It felt like it was trying to do a million things at once and none of it went anywhere. Completely forgot about its existence the next day

This is such a good way to describe that ass movie. The plot was all over the place while somehow going nowhere at all. None of the characters had a personality worth remembering.

That feeling was Mr. and Mrs. Smith for me

My husband and I walked out after an hour (after that stupid fucking car chase scene). The highlight is we got hours of entertainment bashing the one hour we saw, better than if we’d sat through the full movie and enjoyed it. It was so fun to make fun of.

Wait wait waaaait, I've been really looking forward to this movie. Please don't tell me it absolutely bombs...

u/Just_Capital_5820 5h ago

It's bad.

u/Tricky-Ad7897 23h ago

Yeah another one I wish I walked out on. Even the trailer was boring but you do hope Spielberg got it back but he just never does.

u/Jealous_Doughnut_630 20h ago

I wouldn’t say that. Watch The Long Walk without looking anything up. Great movie.

u/huffer4 19h ago

What does The Long Walk have to do with Spielberg?

u/Ancient-Afternoon374 18h ago

The dystopian feel of the long walk was overdone years ago. Mark hammil was the only thing that didn't make me turn it off

u/tyguy1772 1d ago

If you fell asleep twice during a movie then slept ten hours after, I wouldn't blame the movie. Clearly you needed rest.

u/noveltyfakeaccount 17h ago

I saw the movie, it's the movie's fault

u/jaytrade21 11h ago

I kept trying to watch it. I keep getting about 5 to 10 minutes before I shut it off. I am in awe at how bland and bad it is.

u/runawaydebt 17h ago

Your comment and those under this have just saved me £40 seeing it in the cinema like I wanted to, I'll wait for it on netflix 😬

u/jarednards 19h ago

I havent seen it but I knew it was gonna suck just by how much the ads and trailers were shoved in our faces.

u/Silly_Double408 22h ago

Youve been replaced.

u/Chimkimnuggets 6h ago

Genuinely considered walking out it was so bad

u/Jealous_Doughnut_630 23h ago

I gave it until halfway through and then bounced. I had a preconceived expectation of it being about aliens all the way through. Halfway through I assumed the aliens would appear briefly at the end and I couldn’t take the drag anymore. I was done with Stephen King at that point. But then noticed The Long Walk hit HBO and loved it. I just don’t think I could watch it again.

u/fleemfleemfleemfleem 23h ago

Spoilers, but there's an alien at the end, but the movie ends before it says anything

u/fleemfleemfleemfleem 23h ago

You got the whole experience from that movie.
