I walk out of movies all the time. If I don’t like it, I get up and go. Quietly of course.

Life is too short to sit through bad movies.

I walked out of one film, not because of the film but of other reasons. I have had no desire to watch the end of that film since. I’ve made a pact with myself never to walk out of a film no matter how bad it is. You have to watch bad films because you’ll appreciate the good ones even more. I did come close to walking out of Johnny English.

I hate people who watch the whole film and then ask for their money back. I hated that when I used to work at the cinema.

I don’t care about someone walking out of a movie, but shouting “THIS SUCKS” as they do so is not cool.

I think this might lead to another OFF topic, pros and cons of the cinema-going experience vs. home viewing, and biggest pet peeves about going to the cinema.

Only movie I have ever walked out of was Planet of the Apes – the remake – with Marky Mark. Awful.

What’s this about asking for your money back? People actually do that? Really???

I’ve never walked out of a theater before. Even when I went to see Pearl Harbor and the theater was packed and I had to sit on the floor for over 2 hours because I gave my seat to some old lady, I still watched all of that piece of shit movie.

I can only remember watching one movie on DVD and turning it off and that was Click.

I say people should get the fuck out of the theater if they are going to disrupt it for anyone else if they are bored. But really I don’t care what people do, I tend to hate crowds so I’m up for people leaving if they want to. As for myself, I paid my money, I’m watching this thing even if it makes me want to pinch a testical.

I’m old school. I don’t walk out of movies and I don’t go to the bathroom during movies. Even 3 hour plus ones. As long as you piss before the movie and don’t buy those super size sodas you’ll be fine. Unless you got BPH or something.
I won’t go watch a movie unless I’m pretty sure I’m going to like it. But even if I end up not liking I don’t leave. It’s kinda like not leaving a sporting event regardless of the score or what your team is doing.

I haven’t walked out of a theater in forever, but habitually leave the drive in when the later features aren’t worth sitting through.

The only thing about walking out is not to review it as if you had seen the whole thing. if you must go and rant and rave and shit on it make it clear up front you didn’t finish it.
