Walked out of "She's All That" in about 30 min. My wife wanted to see it, and I left her in there.

Have only walked out on "The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover", but I lasted about 1 hour and 45 minutes.

I've never walked out of a movie before. If I paid for it, I'm gonna watch it.

I have fallen asleep during some bad movies before though.

I have only walked out on one movie in my life. Within 10 minutes I knew I would hate it. I went in not knowing what the movie was about, which is not usual practice for me at all.

Never walked out of a movie, but have definately come close. Especially Alexander.

Cygnet74

not quite the same, but i rented this about two months ago and stopped it after 30 minutes. i rarely do this, and only if the film is beyond reproach.

I haven't been to a movie theater in over 5 years, so I don't walk out of them. I do, occasionally, stop a rented DVD. The most recent was The Chronicles of Riddick which we stopped after 22 minutes and returned it.

I've really enjoyed a lot of what Ben Stiller has done. I have always been in lust with Winona Ryder.

Yet "Reality Bites" is the only movie I have ever left early out of the hundreds I have seen. I despised every character in the movie and wished nothing but evil on them all. I left before anything good could happen to their whiny pretentious ultra-alternative self-absorbed life owes us a living butts.

I've never walked out of a movie because I'm pretty careful about picking what movies I go to. Let's face it, if you couldn't tell ahead of time that "Catwoman" and "Van Helsing" were going to suck and suck hard, you're a lost cause.

I don't walk out of movies, good, bad mediocre I'll watch the whole thing in the theater. Some DVDs I won't bother to finish watching though. But in the theater, I watch the whole thing. At the very worst I can sit and make fun of the movie. Like the time I went to see "The One" with my friend. 10 minutes into the movie I knew it was awful, and leaned over to my friend and said "how much you wanna bet this ends in a fight in a warehouse?" We had to stay to see that yes, it did in fact end in a warehouse, and we would've missed one hell of a great bad line. "I am nobody's bitch!"

Ahh, bad movies can be fun sometimes.

I think my friends and I went to the movies, and something we wanted to see was crowded. I actually went in having not read any reviews or heard any word of mouth so I had no idea at all that it would be so incredibly painful to sit through. Usually I at least glance through a thread here to see what people thought, but there was no planning so I learned my lesson from that.

I've never walked out of a movie, and never will. I'm the kind of person who wants to get value for money, so I'd rather sit and watch a total piece of IQ lowering shit, than leave. That being said I don't see many movies (last year I went to see four movies in total), and the ones I do see are mostly good, so hopefully I'll never have to sit through a completely shitty one.

Bill Needle

I have gone into a few completely blind viewings. Some of those have turned into my greatest memories of going to the movies. For instance, I had no idea what "Being There" was about before seeing it. Though I have most always enjoyed Peter Sellers making it perhaps not entirely a blind viewing, it was unlike anything I could have expected from him and it was brilliant and even more enjoyable having no (or at least incorrect) preconceived notions.

Walked out of Imposter....worst movie ever...

jessecrx

I walked out of HERO.....

I loved Crouching Monkey Hidden Gerbil as well as many other HK flix but this was just an endless barrage of leaves and horrible wire-fu. Also the subs were WAY too fast....I'll rent it and watch it dubbed. Hopefully I'll like it the 2nd time around....the first time in theaters I had to walk out. I couldn't take it.

DVDho78DTS

Walked out just once for...

Enemy at the Gates - walked out after about 20-30 mins only because I hadn't slept in over a day and was dead tired. Don't know why my friend and I went in the first place and still haven't seen the rest of it.

By the way, only movie to put me asleep was The Majestic.

Michael Corvin

I made it out to LA in 2002, so before the week was up I had to see a movie at Mann's. Well that week was We Were Soldiers. I thought it was a no brainer, written by Randall Wallace the guy behind Braveheart, starring Mel Gibson. Well, after about 40 minutes of the director just trying to top Speilberg(SPR) vilence-wise, I slept through the rest of it. Wish I could have caught something enjoyable there.

mikehunt

never walked out

NeggShmellow

Walked out of American Beauty after 15 minutes at most. I was never so happy to stop watching a movie. Also walked out of A Smile Like Yours.

During the first 20-30 minutes of a movie, never leave the theater without asking for at least a pass or your money back. Just be honest and tell them you couldn't stand the movie. If it's early on, they should at minimum give you a pass that you can use later to see a (hopefully) better movie.

DRG

Off topic, but you are dead-on correct about this miserable film. I luckily didn't pay to see this, but I unfortunately have sat through the entire thing.

Back on topic, I have never walked out of a movie I paid for. Otherwise I have walked out of two I got in for free... Hardball, not because of the movie quality but because I decided to go hang out with some friends at the bar instead; and Time Changer, which I only went into because my friend worked at the theater and he told me how horrible it was. So I had to at least check it out.

The main reason I don't walk out of bad movies is so I can come bitch about them later on the internet.

I actually did a paper on this movie for a Modern American Literature class in college and watched it 4 times in two days. From the point of view of looking at the attitude and "plight" (for lack of a better word) of the Gen-X generation, it's actually pretty brilliant. I have a hard time thinking of it outstide of the focus of my paper, so it's hard for me to look at it as just a film, but it made writing my paper a heck of a lot more fun.

In case anyone was wondering, the title of the paper was A Comparison of Commonalities Between the Characters In Modernist Literary Works and the Contemporary Movie Reality Bites and Their Reactions to A Disrupted Society. Basic conclusion . . . the two groups are frighteningly similar, but Gen-Xer's whine more.

Rivero

So the characters are pretentious and whiny. What does this have to do with the quality of the film?

Rivero

What about it made you leave after just 15 minutes? Did the masturbation scene offend you or something?

Rivero

Just read faster. Jesus....
