Movies make you travel to a different world and experience hundreds and thousands of lives, let you into the minds of people who think not the same as you, and help to detach from your own problems. It is a popular way to spend time but you want it to be quality time as there are more productive ways to spend a couple of hours of your day.

Some movies are so bad that you don’t need to finish them to know they are not worth your time. To make other people aware of such movies, Ramaal2000 asked Reddit users, “What movie did you start watching then said ‘F**k this, I'm not finishing this?’”

Are there any other movies that made you stand up in the cinema and just leave, or turn off your computer, TV, or other devices because they were so unwatchable? Let us know in the comments and upvote the submissions you agree with the most.

I grew up loving this show. (Theater) Saw it 3 times. I still like the original cast recording. I tried watching this on HBO and turned it off about a quarter way in. Never went back to finish it.

Everybody was raving about how good this movie was. And it was very well made. But it's just sad. A marriage splitting apart is awful and showing it so realistically is depressing.

A Wrinkle in Time.

Trash.

Krakenzmama added:

I really was looking forward to AWIT. I had a rough time as a fifth grader in the 1980s and it was THE book that saved my soul as a kid - I saw myself as Meg- I read and reread it until I was an adult.

So I was truly excited to see this movie with my bf and his kids. After I left the theater I was mad for weeks every time I thought of it.

I didn't mind how it was cast. but the writers skipped over chapters of the book, practically made Oprah the star of the thing and totally made everything up from whole cloth after Meg and Cal escaped Kamazotz. It wasn't even the cliff notes version - it was like the kindergartner version after the saw the trailer once and tried to make the ending deep when they didn't earn it.

Trash indeed

People In This Online Group Are Sharing The Movies They Couldn’t Finish Because They Were So Bad And Here Are 30 Of Them The Passion of the Christ, and I remember the exact moment.

(spoilers?)

In one of the first scenes where Jesus is being tortured by the Romans, Roman One reveals his Cat o’ Nine Tails with barbed hooks. He slams it against a wooden table, and pulls it back to a shower of splinters. He then proceeds to send chunks of Jesus’ back everywhere.

I thought to myself: just kill him already.

And then I found myself wondering: was THAT the point of all this gore-porn? To drive home that the only end to pain and suffering was through THE DEATH OF CHRIST?

Just as I was about to give Mel Gibson grudging respect for maybe almost making a point, Roman One flips Jesus over and starts all over again on Jesus’ front. “Nope,” I thought to myself, “Mel was enjoying himself too much when he made this.” My girlfriend at the time noped out hard, and I definitely wasn’t going to refuse.

The worst thing was leaving and seeing the CHILDREN that these church people brought to see this movie that was rated R solely for violence, their eyes either buried in their seats or dilated to the size of dinner plates, and (I assume) blaming themselves for what they were seeing on screen.

F**k that movie. Happy Easter?

Could have been the next Harry Potter and I felt terrible for Riordan. They should have used kids like they did in the Harry Potter movies because they start out 11-12 years old in the books. I don’t even think they read the books til the second one because they gave Alexandra Daddario a blonde wig in the second movie because her character is in fact supposed to be blonde. And they meet a bad guy in the second movie that they shouldn’t even think about until like the 3rd or 4th book.

So yeah, bad movies.

Edit: For anyone that hasn't seen it and is curious, the first scene has Robin Hood in the crusades where the crusaders wear modern gear and flak jackets and they hut hut hut around a bombed out city clearing houses with longbows half drawn at the shoulder like they're spec ops dudes but they get pinned down by an automatic ballista that's basically a machine gun nest but it's OK because they fire a flare arrow over it which calls in an air strike from some nearby trebuchets.

People In This Online Group Are Sharing The Movies They Couldn’t Finish Because They Were So Bad And Here Are 30 Of Them Hearts AND Armour. (CORRECTED!)

I have absolutely no excuse other than I paid $1 in the Blockbuster bin for it and needed to win the "Worst movie" contest with a bunch of friends on Fantasy Movie Friday.

I won.

I still win with it.

I still haven't watched all of it.

Note to anyone who attempts to watch it - whenever the blonde heaves her bosoms, tosses her hair, and yells "Let me fight him, I'll fight him" take a drink and you'll be dead before the end of the film, so you'll be out of your misery anyway.

FYI: You don't know bad cinema until the bad guys have the evil henchmen in a sword and sorcery flick is wear a spangly rooster costume fight chicken style alongside the guy in a sequined top hat surrounded by knives and bowtie on top of an ape suit.

YUP, folks - it's THAT bad.

And I own it on VHS.

People In This Online Group Are Sharing The Movies They Couldn’t Finish Because They Were So Bad And Here Are 30 Of Them Years back, I used to love the no-effort parody movies like Epic Movie, Scary Movie, Superhero Movie, Meet the Spartans etc.

Until I watched Scary Movie 5.

When 5 came out, I couldn't see it immediately at the time so I forgot about it and rented it years later. When watching it I realised none of the jokes were funny because they all relied on referencing and parodying the horror movies of that time which were no longer relevant. It was a slog and I turned it off and returned it half way through.

Mother hood is hard. Especially when you factor in having your own problems that you can't solve but to be expected to have it all figured out for your tiny humans . Also PP depression is very real and a lot of women can feel a disconnect . Therapy helped my friends thru it but she's in a world with no mental health help , stressed beyond beliefs about giving birth to one child without her support system and ends up with 2 of them to take instead of one. She's also trying to treat them the same and not show favoritism. I think she's honestly expecting the worst outcome because she's lost anyone she's loved so she is keeping distant and having a disconnect can be a coping mechanism to try and lessen the emotional pain if she looses one or bite of them along the way . I love your comment. I agree with you.

Most people who didn't read the book liked the film version. But since I'd already read the book — which was brilliant and genuinely terrifying — I was really disappointed at how the plot and the premise were mangled by the film. If you like really effective, well-written horror — whether or not you enjoyed the movie — go read the book; it's short but so intense that you won't be able to put it down.

Zombie vs the ninja. Old 80s trope. It was so bad, the ninja were wearing those 80s pastel Glad trash bags as uniforms to sorta look like mortal combat. In one scene, a guy shows off how strong he is by uprooting a tree... It's just a prop, so he lifts it up, the roots are flat so it can stand on it's own. This is like a 6ft sapling. The audio the play is like someone felling a 50ft redwood.

Great movie! I believe if you finished it you would think differently. I also don't think the main character was horrible. She was struggling with being pregnant, which happens a lot. Not every women feels an instant love and excitement when pregnant. Also, she treated the kids that way for their survival. I am a big supporters of gentle parenting, but if I was in this situation with my child, and it was either being "terrible" to my child by threatening him to take it seriously, or him dying, I would absolutely do whatever I had to.

I hated the book. I mean, it's end. The actual book is pretty fantastic, but the end is pointless. Watched the movie expecting to not like it and wasn't disappointed. The book has a sequel but I couldn't read half of it. And the author (can't remember his name) is good. I read his other works, really creative, a horror gem, but bird box is definitely not. Or maybe it is and it's all about the second book. 🤔
