Have you ever walked out of a movie?

[Dave Gray]

I see people talk about it, but I've never done it.  I feel that even if something sucks, I need to see it through.  What have you actually paid for and left part-way through?  And how long did you make it?

[Phishfan]

I only go to the theater if I know I really want to see a movie. I've never walked out on one because of that. I don't take chances with the movie theater.

Star Trek: Insurrection.

Went with my dad and uncle, we left about 30min in.  (I had already seen it, though.)

Big Fish. But I was on a date and we started getting frisky, so we changed locations.

We left "The year of Living Dangerously" in 1982 starring Mel Gibson and Sigourney Weaver. Worst movie I had ever seen.  I don't think I knew either of them at the time but obviously they made better films. Well I guess critics liked it but it wasn't much for teenagers.

The Purge.  Watching that movie was not a pleasuring experience.  Punishing was more like it.

[Buddhagirl]

Darkman when I was around 15 or 16. That movie was awful.

[Sunstroke]

Twice...  My date and I left in the middle of Back to the Future II for pretty much the same reasons noted above by Tenshot, and once by myself during the movie Pitch Black, because I went after working a double shift and literally kept falling asleep.

[Thundergod]

Never. If I paid for it, then I'm sitting through it.

Fortunately, like Phish, I only go when I REALLY want to go see a movie, and most of the time they turn out pretty good. The only movie I would have left in the middle of was Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, what an abortion of a flick...

The Purge.  Watching that movie was not a pleasuring experience.  Punishing was more like it.

The ending was horrendous on top of all that.

The only movie I ever walked out on was The Scorpion King.  Of course, I snuck into it as I was really early for another movie, so it wasn't a big loss to leave early.  However, it was a truly awful movie, and I was extremely motivated to leave on that reason alone.

I once met a person who walked out of Spaceballs when it first came out.  I never talked to that person again.

You're a great judge of character.  The Schwartz must be strong within you.

Existenz  We made it through about 45 minutes and couldn't take anymore. Awful, awful movie.

It must be because I'm a Mawg.  Half man, half dog.  I'm my own best friend.

Almost walked out of Battlefield Earth. I took my son and thought maybe he was enjoying it even though I was not so decided to stay. After the movie was over and we were walking out and talked about how bad it was, he told me if I wanted to leave he would have agreed. Not sure if I would have done it at that point as I have never walked out of a movie that I paid for before, but it certainly crossed my mind that time.

My wife walked out of the Green Lantern. We went to the dollar theatre with my 2 grandsons to see something else but when we got there and saw the green lantern was playing we decided to watch it instead. About half way through my wife excused herself to go to the restroom and never returned. I have no idea what she did for 45 mins, so in that case she decided to simply wait for us for 45 mins then have to sit through to the end. That's harsh man. I didn't think it was THAT bad. LOL

I walked out of a comedy show once because I was on a date and it was clear she had no interest in me whatsoever. 

I can't remember doing that for a movie, except if I really had to use the bathroom, or was really hungry.
