Have you ever been to a movie so terrible that you saw people leaving the theater? Which one was it?

That movie Wanted where Jolie curve balls bullets and Freeman reads the future by means of textile production
Great movie, despite the ridiculousness
I loved that movie... Reminded me of shoot-em-up around the same era
It's worth it when you get to the end and hear Morgan Freeman utter the line "Will someone, PLEASE! Shoot this motherfucker!"
The really surprising bit is that it's based on a comic where the characters aren't assassins, they're super-villains.

As much as I hate the toxic POS that is Mark Millar, he did write a good comic book there. Shame about the shitty film.
That one is not bad if you go in knowing that it's just fucking ridiculous. It's great for a bad b-movie night.
I went in knowing it from the comics and was not amused. Even worse than Snyder making Rorschach the good guy in Watchmen. Even misunderstanding/deliberate sabotage of everything from the source is better than just ignoring the best part of the plot.
How the hell do you take a setting where the supervillains won and end up with "some dudes just curve bullets bro"
I didn't even like the comics but that was just lame
Watchmen was the only movie I saw people leave.
Granted, they were probably expecting some generic superhero movie.
It's neither bad (it's entertaining and competently-made even if absurd) nor a B-movie (by definition)
Oh c'mon. The keyboard smash across the face that spells fuck you? That's HORRIBLE. Hilarious, but horrible.
I loved that movie when I was 14
I loved Wanted, that movie captured what it was like to work in a hive office environment with an equally horrific boss everyone pretended to like, also great action flick that bordered on a superhero movie.
Bruh, YOU can’t curve bullets, don’t bring the rest of us down with you. I for one have been breaking the laws of physics for years
