ever walked out on a movie or stopped watching (in cinema, on dvd, etc) because it was so crap? which movie? i recently had this experience, and thats pretty rare for me. my viewing standards are looooooow :laughing:
 
I didn't walk out. *mainly cuz I was half awake* but "The Happening" had to be the WORST movie I have ever seen in theaters.
It was just........ugh.
 
Recently watched Underworld Evolution, my god gotta say... sooo bored all the way through, didn't rate the first one much either - apart from Kate Beckinsale in a leather catsuit - prob. the only highlight of both movies (lol)
 
I walked out on from Dusk till Dawn. Horrible flick.
 
i wanted to walk out on Gettysburg..the movie sucked and those beards..

also LIttle Women..with Wynona Ryder..uh just because it's not a modern day story...Louisa May Alcott was probably spinning furiously in her grave at the defilement of that wonderful children's book..
 
I'll watch damned near anything (and have the collection of rare, really bad films to prove it, too). However, I tend to be abit of a "mood-viewer", and something that doesn't strike a chord with me on one particular night might prove to be just the thing on another night. Anyone else like this?

Anyway, that said, I can't seem to find that "right night" for one called Back From the Dead, with Peggy Castle. It's just so painfully formulaic, with everybody just going through the motions, and a thread-bare plot. Dry as dust-farts.

Another that I made it through but absolutely hated was a direct-to-disc ripoff of Transphormers called (wait for it) Transmorphers! I knew going in that it'd blow, but I was hoping for that sort of bad-film that is so inept that it parodies itself, ala MST3K or Joe Bob Briggs. Instead, it plays like a cheap-jack film-school grad's attempt to impress the big studio heads into giving them more money to make more of the tired explosion/CGI/fluff they're already busily trying to mimic from _insert-video-game-title-here_ .

transmorphers? Oh, good lord! Might as well called them Gobots!
 
:ggrin:

Here's a glimpse of at the cover-art for it.

As I say, it doesn't even have any value in that so-bad-it's-good kinda way, so avoid unless you really have bad masochistic tendencies.

I don't know how you felt about I know what you did last summer, but it was entirely too predictable for me and 3 other friends. We ended up annoying a few people as we proceeded to MST3K the flick as it went.

I honestly almost walked out of Spider-Man 3. I couldn't believe the same director that made the first two so fun had royally screwed the third. Other than that, I try to stick with an entire movie whilst in the theater. Never actually have physically walked out on one of them. Now rentals on the other hand, sure, I've turned them off halfway through a million times.
 
Only two. We once rented the musical version of Little Shop of Horrors, but my wife didn't like it so we stopped after Steve Martin's character got eaten.

The only other one was "Don't tell Mother the Babysitter is Dead' with Christina Applegate. We read some good reviews on it, and stopped it 1/2-way through because it was so stupid and far-fetched...

Yeah. My Bullshit - o - meter went off the charts on the second one. Never saw the first.

I third that. It's funny. I think she is a genuinely decent actress, and with the right role, she may have made a smooth transition to movies from TV. Lordy, though. THAT sure wasn't the role.

I hope she fired her agent...prior to burying him.
 
Wow. I'm pretty harsh on movies, and I kinda liked Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead, in spite of the lousy title. It was certainly much better than many other movies with comparable premises or similar tones, like Working Girl. Not as good as Risky Business, though.

I don't think I've ever walked out of a movie at a theater, though I came mighty close during that crummy Narnia movie, The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe. But my equivalent is probably when I start fast-forwarding through chunks of movies I'm seeing for the first time on DVD. Transformers got that treatment.
 
my terrible movies

ive never walked out on a movie. i'll watch a movie just because it looks terrible. some of the movies i own are complete crap. the infamous Plan 9 From Outerspace, Snakes on a Train (it has nothing to do with snakes on a plane), Jesus Christ Vampire Slayer: The Musical, Cannibal the Musical. ive got more but not the same calibur as these. . . . ooh, Manos: Hands of Fate. Saw it on MST3K and had to see it for real.

Interesting. Our family loved both Narnia movies so far.
 
I thought there was exactly one good part of the first Narnia movie: the way the image of the flying creatures (birds? I don't even remember what they were) in the battle late in the film echoed the sight of the planes in the London blitz at the beginning.

I thought the rest was alternately tedious, amateurish, and uninspired.
 
was over at a friends and he put in a movie called Rock and Rule. it was terrible. the only reason i didnt walk out on him was out of sheer comradery. i did fall asleep though. XD

Kinda like the movie it's ripping off, eh? 😉

Personally, I'm a fan of bad old sci-fi flicks. Anyone ever seen Space Mutiny? Yeah... that's the stuff. And I freaking own Barbarella on DVD. That movie's filled with so much awful win...

I have to ask, which Transformers? The new one or the old one from 1986?

Rented that earlier this summer. Another nomination for "other that the views of Jane in the intro credits, what was the big deal about this movie?" award...totally underwhelming. Then again, the late '60's-early 70's were totally underwhelming as a whole to me anyway....LOL

Such a horrible era for movies, huh? Altough, I gotta admit, I would not mind having an Excessive Machine in my house. Especially if I knew a skilled pianist. 😉
