Continuing with the recent movie thread.
I'll start. Peter Jacksons King Kong. About 1 hour into the movie someone blurted out "Where the fuck is the monkey?"
I left at hour #3. If you can't finish a movie in under 3 hours, I'm gone. Plus that movie sucked.
I love this movie, but it doesn't surprise me that some hate it.

Same, I don’t really see the point. The thought of someone hating a movie so much that they would get upset and leave is funny to me.
the thought of someone sitting through two or more hours of shitty entertainment just because they paid for it is funny to me.
I haven't been to a movie since in over 10 years or more, but if a movie is bad enough, there is no getting upset - not sure if people say they are upset, especially (and only) if others agree with me, I have no issue walking out and doing something more worthwhile with my valuable time.
Great movie, but Christ, that scene was brutal.
Little Nicky is something I’d probably walk out on but only if someone tricked me into going in the first place. It isn’t something I’d ever pay for.
Awful movies are completely avoidable.

worst sandler movie ever
Jack and Jill would like to have a word with you.
He made a ton of horrible crappy movies after BM, HG, and Waterboy, the high water mark of western cinema.
I've never walked out, but was tempted to by the rave scene in Matrix 2, the stoopidest scene in film history. I began rooting for the robots.
YES! Finally someone who agrees with me about the Matrix series.
The special effects were cool in the first one (less so when they were repeated in the sequels, only more exaggerated) but the plot of those movies was always ludicrous.

I don't think everyone is as selective as you I guess. How many replies to this thread? Over 60 people in a couple hours listed movies they walked out of. I did not actually walk out per se, but I saw a shitty movie and I posted the reasons.
Also, during high school I worked as an usher at a movie theater and it was a long time ago with less access to information before going, but people walked out - and got a refund if they did so in the first 30 min.
it probably still happens now.
what a shit show.
We didn't walk out of that one, but a bunch of people did.
I never made the decision on my own.

Oh Greg... all you had to do is look at the trailer... I wouldn't have gone anywhere near that. They probably use that movie for torture in some countries.
What the fuck?
An absolute cure for insomnia.
Spoiler Alert for those of us that haven't seen it yet????

My dad would have you beat. He took us kids to see Chariots of Fire. We were asleep in 10 minutes.

Okay, but how old were you and your siblings? That's an adult movie. A slow movie - true - but a terrific story.
Worst two hours of my life...
WTH, Fury Road will be revered and remembered for a long time. IMO as perfect a film as can be made, no fat in that movie at all. Alot of those stunts were friggen real.
No. Even to a 10-year old, that thing looked creepy as hell.

I'm the youngest of my siblings and I would have been 9 in '81.
I didn't watch "The Happening" with Mark Wahlberg in the theater but would have walked on that one.
which one?
good news, there's a remake.
Fuck me that was terrible. I lasted 20 minutes. I was dozing at 10 minutes.

I haven't seen that movie yet, but when I saw the trailer and heard it wasn't Elton singing, I lost interest.

Yeah. I missed that part before I saw it. Could have saved 20 minutes of my life if I had. High budget American Idol horseshit.
