Iron Sky. A lot of young chavs grabbed their beers and left the theater. Apart from a couple of minutes you can mostly see in the trailer that movie is indeed pretty shitty. The sequel is even worse. It was pretty overhyped and I suspect it hasn't aged well.

Not a theater walkout, but... We just tried to watch "Legend" with Tom Cruise, Mia Sara, Tim Curry, and directed by Ridley Scott. It was so jarring, shockingly bad we couldn't last past the 15 minute mark. The writing, the acting, the direction, the music (with bombastic synth stabs), and really terrible editorial/audio fx choices. Also, there is so many feathers just floating around. Honestly, I love b-movie fantasies (Krulletc) but this thing takes itself so seriously and is so cringingly bad we just couldn't get through it.

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.

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

Boogie Nights, my wife had enough of it and insisted on leaving.

I wanted to leave the art film "Burnt By the Sun" but ended up apologizing to my date (she liked arty films too). We both agreed it was so bad it was almost amusing.

I went to sleep away lacrosse camp when I was 11-12, and one night they had boogie nights on, but you needed to be 14 or up before they'd let you watch. I regarded it at the time as less movie and more pornographic spectacle. Obviously ended up watching it as I got older, and while yes, it's a bit pornographic spectacle, it's also a very well made film. Great story, great pacing, well directed.

Yes, that's all I have to offer.

Key and Peeles “Us” was atrocious I tried to stick it out thinking it would get better but.. walked out.
