Have you ever walked out of a film in the cinema?

I haven't done it but would definitely have walked out of the 3rd Pirates of the Caribbean film if I hadn't been there with a friend. I've seen some crap in the cinema but this is, by a long shot, the worst thing I've ever sat through.

Nearly did once. Not because of the movie but because a group of travellers came in and started acting like .... well, travellers.

Once or twice, if the film was boring the pants off me I would go to a different screen and watch something else instead.

Yes, but only because I was choking on popcorn and thought I was going to die.

Nope but I did fall asleep during Detective Pikachu. Most kids movies are, imho, terrible but you can endure them for one viewing. That one was just appalling.

That automatically makes you a wacist ;)

Similar experience several years ago, went one step further. Twenty minutes into a thriller when a large posse stomped in the door and occupied two front rows. Phones out taking snaps, having a high old time roaring at the top of their lungs. No member of staff dared intervene this cultural exchange of differences, I and several others exited stage left. Asked for manager, got the tenner back. Just the lone walkout in thirty plus years, and ideally the last.

I've never walked out of a film but I must confess I fell asleep during the Lord of the Rings. What's worse it was twice, in the first one and the second one also.

I've never seen a complete Lord of the Rings film.....

I was close to walking alright during Avatar but I kept thinking "this has to get better"

Walked out of Shakespeare In Love and the second Lord of the Rings movie. Walked out of Jackie Brown also but not because of the movie, they had the theatre boiling hit for some reason.
