I saw Epic Movie in theaters and it’s the worst movie I’ve ever seen. Nobody walked out but they should have.
My mother and I walked out of Death Becomes Her. She loved the cast but couldn’t enjoy the movie.
Probably didn’t help that it was only a couple of months after her mom died.
But I watched the whole thing on cable years later and still questioned what the fuck they thought they were thinking with that script.
oh wow, that’s a classic, though I can understand why your mom didn’t enjoy a movie about living beyond death after her mother just passed
Awww. I understand her reaction completely.
But, personally I loved it and will probably watch it again soon now that I remembered it exists.
The Spirit.
Saw it in theaters and left half way through.
I… really like that movie
Oh yeah, that one was so fucking cringe…
This city needs me… She cries out to me.
Also Wtf was up with Sam Jackson’s character talking about eggs constantly?
Idk if this counts but me and a friend of mine went to go see the movie Skyline and no one walked out because no one else was there in the first place ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Lol. A friend of mine and I went to see Meet the Spartans. We were the only ones to walk out because we were the only ones there…
That happened to me with the Mario movie. I was the only one in the theatre for that particular time
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
Classic Nolan trick: perplex your audience with non-linear story telling and loud blaring audio contrasted by whisper dialogue to sell the illusion of depth and tapestry…
I’m with you to a point. There were many points in the movie where I turned to my wife and asked “I thought we were building a bomb?” I’ll say that it wasn’t a terrible movie but I think I would have enjoyed a documentary on Oppenheimer or the development of the bomb rather than a biopic where the director needs to make art.
Same. I stopped after about 20 minutes. I love science and know the history, so the art part ended up feeling waaaay too pretentious being dragged out for extra seconds in every damn scene. No wonder the movie’s so long when they’re wanking every scene…
You people are why audience reviews are meaningless
I didn’t review the movie poorly. I also admit that the art might not have come off so pretentious if I didn’t know the history well already.
Your assumptions prove your own point, because you don’t know how to judge shit.
You people are what keeps a thoroughly-mid director like Nolan overhyped and getting nominated for Oscar’s for some reason.
Yeah I thought it was pretentious as hell. Par for the course from Christopher Nolan, making movies with ‘deep meaning’ feels that really aren’t that deep actually.
He just has to overcomplicate things with some timeline fuckery. every. single. movie.
- Memento: timeline is backwards
- Inception: time runs at different rates in the real world vs the dream
- Dunkirk: 3 timelines running at different speeds (1 hour, 1 day, 1 week)
- Interstellar: time looping back on itself + time running at a different rate due to black hole fuckery
- TENET: yeah …
- Oppenheimer: constant jump cuts between different periods in Oppenheimer’s story
Mind you, some of those are good movies and I can tolerate some of the timeline fuckery, but it’s really becoming a gimmick.
Might make more sense if you read the book.
I actually like that they didn’t dumb it down
I am so glad I waited for streaming on this one. It was fine, but way longer than it needed to be and convuluted as hell. I am glad to not be alone. That movie sniffs its own farts.
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.
They could’ve had a motherfucking FRANCHISE
Not even Idris Elba could save that mess of a movie.
Iris Elbow is the James Bond we deserve.
Autocorrect really did a number on your comment.
Idris Elbow is aware of the effect he has on autocorrect.
Do you think him and Benadryl Cucumbersmash are friends?
Huh? I got it right. Next you’re going to say I spelled Belvedere Cummerbund wrong.
Being cast as someone that is a clone of Clint Eastwood is not what I’d call a good casting.
Except if they knew it was just one single movie and Odetta wasn’t in it.
I think he would have made a great luchador.
Get back to your ready room and tend to your lizard babies.
Nacho Libre is easily one of my favorite movies of all time, and I specifically avoided watching it because Jack Black was doing just terrible shit at the time. Now, my closest and oldest friends and I quote it at each other all these years later. I am truly sorry you didn’t like it!
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.
Never read the books because I heard they end badly and that’s a hell of a time commitment.
Huh, it’s one of my favorite endings of all time and I consider it genius. One man’s trash I guess
Okay, maybe I will read them.
They end fine. Genuinely, read the first book, and read the last chapter of the last book. Ignore everything else.
Imagine actually suggesting missing out on the height of Stephen King’s mescaline era.
His cocaine era was his best era. That being said, I did enjoy many of the Dark Tower books, but only as standalone books and not for what they contributed to the series overall, which was a large mess of half thought-out needlessly over-explained medley of what I can only summarize as pure narcissism.
The man managed to insert his own car accident three times in the series. This dude really needs therapy.
He also tried to bind his universe to Harry Potter, Star Wars, and even Spiderman.
Most of Steven King books end up this way. It’s pretty much expected at this point.
Hey now, The Mist, The Shining, Salem’s Lot, Storm of the Century, 1408, Rose Red (Depending on your tastes of course, it’s bad, but very watchable) that would like a word. Hell, Silver Bullet and Maximum Overdrive Are also not bad if you enjoy less than great movies.
And Shawshank Redemption! People always forget it’s based on a King novella
Yea, but most have been a bust and pretty bad in my experience.
Tim Burton’s Sweeney Todd.
Hear me out. I love Sweeney Todd but these people didn’t know it was a musical. About 15 minutes in one guy said “Are they going to sing the whole time?!”. More than a few people got up and left and I honestly had never seen that before.
I guess the marketing for it at the time just completely left out that it was a musical.
Not a bad movie at all, but it was so fun watching people with kids leaving the Sausage Party: what were they expecting?
I am looking forward to my first movie to walk out on, nothing so far. If I had to pick, I think I’d walk out on a musical type movie
I remember David Cronenberg once saying in an interview that when Crash screened at Cannes, there were times you couldn’t hear the movie over the sound of people storming out.
A Rough Draft, a Russian movie based on a Russian book. The book is quite good, but the movie… Let’s say I didn’t see people leaving the theater, because I left it first.
For me it was Lincoln and The Hate U Give. I gave the movies a chance but 30 mins in I just wasn’t feeling them. I think for THUG it was a secret showing at a cinema and I’d gone in with the expectation of an action/comedy movie so may not have been in the right frame of mind.
This is an oldie, Raising Arizona. I was a kid that didn’t know better and was easily entertained, people were getting up to leave and even my mother wanted to, poor lady had to SUFFER thru it.
Dracula Untold. I don’t know why I thought it might be good but the first quarter or so that I stayed awake through just seemed like he needed marriage counseling or something.
I watched an elderly couple walk out of The Aristocrats. It just added to the whole experience. But on top of that, the movie started with Morgan Freeman narrating some bullshit about cold weather. Some penguins appeared on screen and everyone collectively realized they had accidentally started playing fucking March of the Penguins!
All around a night well spent
