A question for you guys: Sometimes you come across a film you hate so much, you canāt take it anymore. What was the last film that made you walk out of the theatre? Or are you stubborn like me, and watch it so you can thoroughly assess exactly why it sucks so bad?

Yes, many times
Yes, once

And as a follow up ā how often are you likely to give up on a streaming movie? I want to hear all your thoughts below! Name and shame those terrible movies you couldnāt hack!
Flight Risk. Mark Wahlbergās character was so one-note, I just couldnāt take it anymore. I think I was especially angry because they ruined a setting I wanted to explore.
I turned off Avatar: The Way of Water 15 minutes into it. I had already seen that movie. It was called Avatar.
When I was a kid, I walked out of Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Wererabbit, because I was so scared of the Wererabbit transformation sequence. Since then Iāve rewatched it lots of times at home, and itās not that big of a deal.
I tend to walk out all the time but I was forced to see The Way of water with my brother. I was dreading it because I donāt like Avatar the original one, but the story of the sequel was much more intriguing to me. Better in every aspect I think.
The last film I left was the Northman I think but thereās a high percentage of Robert DeNiro movies Iāve left. Heās my kyrptonite.
@lucca_bosio I saw that film when I turned 11 or so, as someone from the North of England, theyāll always have a special place in my heart!
@sab how scary is too scary? Only horror Iāve ever walked out of (to go and splash my face with cold water, I went back after!) is Julia Ducournauās Raw. Turned my stomach so bad, I still feel unwell thinking about it.
I know Iām wrong. And, Iāve no doubt if I stayed with it, I would change my mind. But that dayā¦in that momentā¦I just couldnāt watch any more. I LOVED the first one, but the heavy-handed approach to the military was the worst part. It felt so in my faceā¦even though I completely agree with the central message. I think the first 15 minutes of the sequel was signaling to me that that same heavy-handed approach was going to be central again. And, that day, I just wasnāt in the mood. Sorkin does this to me, too. Iām in almost complete agreement with his messagingā¦but, sometimes his approach (as amazing as it is) just wears me out.
If I paid to see it in the theater, I donāt think Iāve ever left no matter how bad it was I give up on streaming things all the time. Too many to even recall anything specific. When Iām home, I know I have better things to do, when Iām out of the house, Iām out of the house.
I have been kicked out of a movie though, my friend and I wanted to see one of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies but it was āRā so we bought āSome Kind Of Wonderfulā tickets and snuck into Nightmare. Shortly after it started an usher kicked us out, so we went to SKoW, and it ended up being ok. Saw it again recently and didnāt think it held up as well.
Iām a huge Rocky fan (obviously) but I walked out of Creed II. I donāt even know why but I justā¦ couldnāt get it. It was just noise to me. Iāve watched it since and like it okay, but first time around I just felt numb. Like the characters were talking a language I didnāt understand.
Thatās so interesting. I like Creed II well enough. Creed III I thought was middling but dang that Jonathan Majors performance lifted it significantly. Shame he ended up like he did, because I think he was magnetic on screen.
Years and years ago, when I was practicing medicine, I had a patient who had a role in the movie Paramedics. So I took a bunch of the people from the office out to dinner, then we went to General Cinema (tells you how long ago it was) to see the movie. And this is the Godās honest truth, I shit you not. Went to the box office and told the girl I wanted seven tickets to Paramedics. She looked at me like I had just asked her to cut off several of her fingers. She said itās not a good movie, you wonāt like it. I insisted. We went into the theater with our tickets and handed them to the usher. He stared at them a moment, then said, you can choose any theater you want, I wonāt say anything. So, we go into the theater and itās empty. One couple came in and lasted about five minutes before they left. Unfortunately my patientās role was at the very end of the flick so we had to suffer through the entirety of what is undoubtedly the worst movie ever made.
Thatās incredible. Iāve never seen Paramedics but the reviews areā¦ unkind is perhaps the best word. At least you treated your colleagues and your patient probably thought you were really cool!
Sorry Paul Rudd!
