Yes! Battlefield Earth.
I stayed for the whole movie because I couldn’t believe how bad it was.To me battlefield earth falls under the “so bad it begins to loop back around into Cheesey fun” category.
I especially love how what are essentially cave men find F16 fighter jets from the past and not only do the jets and old fuel work, but the cave men know how to start them and fly them effectively.
L Ron really outdid himself on that gem.
That movie Wanted where Jolie curve balls bullets and Freeman reads the future by means of textile production
I saw Young Einstein on opening weekend…for some reason. No one left the theater but there were only about 4 of us in there to begin with.
The Dark Tower. Was so embarrassed that I brought my wife thinking someone could possibly take 8 books and boil them down to 95 minutes that I made us leave a half hour in. It trivialized everything about the books in the worst way possible.
Also, Nacho Libre. Just couldn’t do it. I don’t ding JB for it at all but really bad.
There are bad adaptations, and then there’s the Dark Tower, which was akin to a full palm-open slap to the fans while desperately hoping they could maybe appeal to some movie goers that were unfamiliar with the books, which it failed to do spectacularly.
Most of Steven King books end up this way. It’s pretty much expected at this point.
Didn’t walk out, but wish I had: the first Wonder Woman movie with Gal Gadot. They managed to make a Wonder Woman movie that was more about her boyfriend than Wonder Woman. Wtf.
I was escorted out of a movie once.
The movie was called Quarantine. I don’t remember if there were, but I don’t remember any warnings before going to see the movie or when the movie started. So anyways there’s a lot of flashing in the movie and I had multiple seizures.
Unpopular opinion, but I left Oppenheimer at the 40 minutes mark. The main character was so unlikable, the movie pretentious, and I hated there was some kind of trial going on, but I had no context. So I left and did something better with my time.
This movie sucked. If they told it in sequential order this movie would have bombed. Showing the scenes out of order made it more interesting than it had any right be
Wish I would have walked out of The Blair Witch Project.
Opening weekend, my then-fiancé (now husband) and I went to see this movie. I had gone way down the viral marketing rabbit hole before the film came out. I had read all of the websites and watched all of the “supporting evidence” videos. I knew it was a work of fiction, but I was super invested.
The movie ends, the final credits roll, and the woman in front of me looks at her date and says, “That was the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen. It wasn’t scary at all.” Then she turns around to get her sweater off the back of her seat and we make eye contact.
I’m sitting absolutely still, staring straight ahead, tears dripping off my chin.
She didn’t say anything else, took her things, and left.
I grew up in a fundamentalist evangelical church, and I had a lot of religious trauma around witches as a kid. Like, my mom made me listen to Mike Wernke and wouldn’t let me go trick-or-treating because she believed that witches were sacrificing children to Satan. I had recurring nightmares – well into my 20s – about a witch who lived in the woods behind my house who tried to kill me in horrible ways.
So, while I absolutely understand that The Blair Witch Project is not for everyone, it remains the single most terrifying film I’ve ever seen.
My dumbass father liked eragon, I couldn’t even give it a fair shot as a movie bc I was too caught up in how they absolutely butchered the storyline of the books.
Out of curiosity, what was wrong with it? I never read the books, and watched it years later on late night cable, and it seemed ok. Typical pre-teen bland fantasy. Perfectly fine on enough weed
Across the universe… like half of the theatre walked out. It truly was a piece of shit movie.
A guy in the row in front of me exasperatedly said ’ I did the wrong damn drugs for this shit’ as he walked out.
Okay fucking THANK YOU. I remember that movie being absolute shit and I would have walked out if I wasn’t on a date with someone I was super into, but that was an absolutely terrible hot mess of a movie and it felt like all of my friends loved the movie and I’m like are you sure this is the same movie???!?!
Some people told me they thought it was amazing.
They were all the pretentious douche types who unironically wore berets to poetry slams back then. The movie was terrible and I love beetles music.
Alien Covenant. After the flute scene I went out, fucking atrocity of a movie. Let’s hope the new one is better, now that Scott isn’t directing it.
All copies of Prometheus and Covenant and everything in any way referencing them needs to be put in rockets and shot into the sun (I know that takes a lot of ∆v shut up, I want them destroyed), and we collectively as a species need to pretend they never existed. Based on how bad Napoleon turned out to be too, I think we may need to put Scott on one of the rockets. We’ll just say he died of COVID.
