It doesn't have to be walking away from a theater, could be simply a film you started on Netflix, blu-ray or whatever.

I remember starting Creed II with my brother and the scene where he kneels to propose to Tessa (can't remember the character's name) killed any interest we had for the film. It wasn't believable at all to see him put that girl on a pedestal whereas he could get any woman in the country especially since he's hitting it big. It doesn't help that the actress isn't very pretty. We switched to something else and forgot about it entirely. That's a bit weird because I loved the first Creed. I KNOW the relationship between them was built up in the first film but didn't like at all how he was head over heels for her. Doesn't feel very realistic to me.

I might watch it sometime eventually, but I feel like I'm not missing much.

What about you GAF? What film you were looking forward to but then less than 10-20 minutes in, something made you think "No, I'm not watching this shit"?

 

[Southern Gentleman]

The Last Jedi when I tried to watch it a second time.

 

[nush]

Jack and Jill, I think I got about 20 minutes in and could not stand it.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

i got a copy of Solo a year ago but i've scrubbed through it and just the look of it, it looks so dark and miserable. still haven't seen it and probably will never do.

 

[Mihos]

Blair Witch. I was motion sick in the first 3 minutes.

 

[Sleepydays]

Ghostbusters 2016. I looked out of morbid curiosity, but for fuck's sake.

 

[MudoSkills]

Admittedly I was 10 but when Carrie has her period in the shower in the opening scene (?) I made my parents stop the movie.

 

[Karma Jawa]

Grown Ups. About 2 minutes in.

 

[Mossybrew]

The Last Jedi when I tried to watch it a second time.

Hah, this was me literally last weekend. Had only seen it the once in the theater. As soon as these slow ass bombers come in trying to drop bombs on this huge ship ... it just struck me how stupid this all was and I noped out.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Aliens vs Predator

When the predator handed the chick a weapon we walked out

 

[Ownage]

As soon as I saw Woody H in Solo, I lmao and peaced.

Also, most Netflix original films.

 

[TrainedRage]

The Good Guys

In Bruge

 

[Ingeniero]

Roma (Netflix - 3 minutes and quit).
Hachi (Theater - 15 minutes and left).

 

[xrnzaaas]

Dumb and Dumber To - Absolutely horrible, I had high hopes because of the returning original cast and I also really liked the first film even though the humour was already very primitive in some scenes (the great soundtrack in the first movie definitely helped).

 

[Shizumapower]

Doom Movie on Netflix.

I fast forwarded through Roma...


Recommended - I rewatched Darkest Hour last night.

 

[brap]

Children of Men. Saw it was some british shit and turned it off. Not what I was expecting.

give it another shot sometime, you might really like it

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Ghostbusters 2016. Got to the part where they were in the concert and gave up.

Movie was even worse than I heard about it.

 

[highrider]

Aliens vs Predator

When the predator handed the chick a weapon we walked out

Ahh man you missed some gold.

Most recent I can think of is Suicide Squad. It was just annoying in the way it was paced, the film aesthetics were this kind of washed out blerp filter on everything. It made the few cool little parts not worth the effort. I think I ended up doing laundry which was more engaging.

That was another awful movie.

BvS was even worse. One of the most garbage superhero movies I've ever seen.

I swear DCU could not do a movie if lives depended on it.

 

[belmarduk]

Roma (Netflix - 3 minutes and quit).

You shouldn't have done that. You missed the nude karate part.

 

[ValiantTraveler]

The Last Jedi when I tried to watch it a second time.

Haven’t even watched it once! I just blitzed through a camrip and shook my head.

It has some good scenes. Worth watching imo.

Wonder Woman and Aquaman were nice, I enjoyed them.

 

[Doom85]

Aliens vs Predator

Everything after that moments is pretty much the only good shit in the movie. No more one-dimensional characters bumbling around (Weyland was alright, but regardless the group as a whole was not on par with the cast of Alien and especially Aliens), just her and the Predator kicking some Alien ass and all done through non-verbal communication.

I had just had enough and that moment tipped me over the edge

it's actually the only movie I've walked out in theaters

That's fine. I just think the 1st one does have some good elements particularly the climax, whereas AVP2 was pure shit.

in Stuckmann review he seemed to point out moments of ending that are nonsensical . I recall a clip where she's running faster than the giant queen in subzero temps or some shit like that

I wanted to like the sequel but I have no idea how a major release hit the theaters with the exposure so fucked up. Literally couldn't see half the movie

typos fro m this shitty tablet my bad

 

[quickwhips]

When i was younger i walked out of snatch but i love that movie now.

peak Guy Ritchie

Your Snatch experience is like my Pulp Fiction experience

tries watching it on VHS when I was pretty young and turned it off after like 30 minutes

now I’ve seen it more times than I remember and can almost recite it

 

[Revolutionary]

One of the Bayformers movies had a scene where a piece of transforming metal transformed into a pair of Beats by Dr Dre. Shut the movie off and never looked back.

 

[Ikutachi]

Ace Ventura Jr.: Pet Detective.

 

[Valonquar]

Within the first few minutes of Dude Where's My Car?

 

[Hulk_Smash]

Magnolia. One of those films that I had no idea what I was watching. When Tom Cruise started swearing and acting like a dbag, I just thought “This film isn’t for me.” Apparently my friends agreed because we all walked out of the theater and asked for our money back.

 

[poppabk]

I've never walked out of a theater. I have started plenty of terrible movies and quit after the first scene though.
Recently - according to my continue watching in Netflix and Hulu:
Blackbear
Cut Bank
The Hunters Prayer
Defective
Anna and the apocalypse

 

[Celcius]

I walked out on Speed Racer, Suicide Squad, and Sherlock Holmes. The Box also sucked.

 

[Gargus]

I've only twice quit a movie once I started it out.

I walked out of jurrasic park 2. Was sitting there bored out of my mind and I realized that if I left now I could make it home in time to catch new episode of spawn on HBO so I left.

And I rented a movie called killjoy. God damn I got half way through and just returned it. I took it back so fast the same lady was still there and she let me pick out another movie.

 

[MetalAlien]

Ghostbusters 2016. Got to the part where they were in the concert and gave up.

Yep tried to watch it for free on TV while making dinner and had to change the channel.

 

[MaestroMike]

into the woods i didn't know it was a musical i absolutely fukkin hated it, but I rented it through Redbox and didn't want to waste my money, so i finished it but I def stopped midway and came back to it later cuz I couldn't stand sitting all the way through it

 

[MaestroMike]

Admittedly I was 10 but when Carrie has her period in the shower in the opening scene (?) I made my parents stop the movie.

lol i remember changing the channel so fast whenever Chuckie came on TV or even if I like saw a scifi commercial with him in it. the fukkin doll scared the sh!t out of me as a kid i wish my dad never let me see one of his movies when I was like 5

 

[V4skunk]

Children of Men. Saw it was some british shit and turned it off. Not what I was expecting.

One of the greatest movies of all time, a modern classic.

 

[xellos2099alpha]

I rthink i walk out of Sarah marshall and elysium

 

[Rentahamster]

In Bruge

Weird, that happened to me too a couple years ago. Mainly it was because I was in a group and we decided we wanted to see something more popcorn-y. Got about 5 minutes in before we noped out.

I'm sure it's a good movie though.

 

[Cutty Flam]

Has anybody here seen Troll 2? It should have been that one, but instead I watched the entire thing

Everybody hates it. Everybody watches it until the end.

I hear good things but I dunno. it was really dull.

 

[Threeshotgamer]

Avatar: the last airbender. Only made it about 15 mins and i noped out of the theater.

I nope'd this post faster than anything. Creed II was great, and there was nothing unbelievable about that proposal

 

[Constant Flux]

When I was like 8 or 9, I rented the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre and I got to the hitchhiker cutting part and was so freaked out I stopped it and didn’t watch that movie for many years later... Which was weird for me since I grew up watching horror movies, but TCM was so god damned visceral.

 

[ScarletSpider]

It was hot as a mothefucker one summer, and we didn’t have AC. So we would Leave the house and do anything, sometimes just drive around, just to be in AC.
Anyway we go to the movies this one summer day, seriously sweating my balls off. We go to see some Jodie Foster flick, we sit down, and it’s way before the actual previews start. It’s showing those commercials you see before trailers.

We weren’t seated for TWO MINUTES and someone came in saying the AC had just broken and they were doing refunds

peace, sorry Clarice

Jesus Christ. Were all of the AC’s broke in your area?
