I walked out on the Jungle Book because I was four and did not have a movie-length attention span.

Never walked out even if I didn't like the movie. Also I want my moneys worth so walking out and there's still a chunk left of the movie would make it even more of a waste. And I don't want to be the only guy walking out. To be honest kind of make you look like a movie critic douche.

SIN CITY!? I would have told her to cover her eyes if she didn't like the violence, but that's just me.

Yes, because those 20 seconds where I grandly stand up, and strut to the exit, effectively announcing to everybody there "I have better taste than you plebs", are the sweetest moments in my life.

That film with the chicken, with the glasses.
Pretty sure we went out of that one.
Perhaps I'm imagining things.
If we did, it was my friends idea.
I wouldn't do that. Regardless of shit movie.

But you can always walk out and demand your money back.

Depends how long you watched it. If you watched the introduction of the movie you'll probably be able to get a refund but depends on what the movie theaters policies are. But if you're like a half hour in the movie then there is no chance.

I'm a sucker for believing that things will get better. Not only have I never walked out of a cinema, I rarley quit watching films midway through on TV, and I never permanently stop reading books partway through either. I've seen some truly terrible movies over the years, but I persist in watching to the end incase there is a late twist that makes it all worthwhile.

The Happening remains the worst film I have ever seen in the cinema, and I stuck it out to the end despite how utterly dismal it was. Was it worth it? No. But at least I can say conclusively that the movie sucked from start to finish, and not be left wondering if the ending made up for the previous hour of crap.

If so, why?

For me, I never walked out on a movie, but that's because I rarely attend movie theaters so the chances of that happening is low, not to mention I was never in a mood to do that anyways.

I was five When I saw the exorcist. The chick from exorcist crawled down the stairs and blood was coming out her mouth, I asked my mother to leave but my sister stayed. It was an anniversery for the movie and I decided to pick it out out of all the movies I could have chosen. Now the exorcist is funny. LICK ME. LICK ME. lol.

How could you walk out on that? I mean, it's pretty lame compared to other Godzilla films but the fights are still fun.

I saw that in the theater. I fell asleep.

I've never walked out on a movie, though.

Literally 10 minutes in the guy gets his balls smashed by an old lady with a walker and then urinates on himself infront of the whole school. I was like, "this movie is going to blow hard." About half-way through I left with my grandfather because it was so fucking stupid, worst movie ever.

No, that's not what happened. He had a boner and she thought it was a weapon and grabbed it and he turned and accidentally snapped it.

the second and last time i went to the 48-hour film festival was pretty fucking egregious. it started with an unfunny sex comedy which was probably the only time i got uncomfortable with that kind of stuff since i had brought relatives along expecting a relaxing night, plus there were clearly other families including children in the audience, but thank god they were all short films. when we got to the third or fourth short film of the evening, the reel or dvd skipped ahead and went all the way back to the beginning of the compilation and it took them 20 minutes to figure out what the issue was before just going straight to the second compilation of turned in films that were planned for the next evening.

but the point when i walked out was when some extremely unpleasant short film played which from what i remember just showed a guy cutting bits of bone out of a deer's disembodied leg (i think, the camera they shot this on looked as if it hadn't been washed in years) and there was this unnerving low frequency synth playing throughout the whole 6 minutes it lasted and it would randomly cut to a woman driving to a house before getting knocked out the door and dragged in by the same guy cutting up the deer leg. if i saw this again today, i probably wouldn't react as strongly to it now as i did back then because that short film was the breaking point for me when i had to resist the urge to shout that what we were watching was worthless, technically inept, garbage that the creators should be ashamed of.

i remember being dragged out to that because it was my friend's friend's birthday or something and i fell asleep.

I haven't been to a movie theater in recent memory, so I can't say I have. I wouldn't be particularly likely to walk out of one anyway, since I'm the type of person who must finish whenever they start watching something.
