People In This Online Group Are Sharing The Movies They Couldn’t Finish Because They Were So Bad And Here Are 30 Of Them
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.

The Mummy - the Tom Cruise train wreck.
The old school one with Brendan Frasier is awesome.
50 shades of Gray. I was out as soon as she walked into Christian s office and tripped over NOTHING. Cause, you know, she s just so quirky and clumsy.
The Secretary was and still is the far superior movie with bdsm.
Cats.
I lasted 30 minutes and then I immediately left the theater. Human faces on roaches creeped me the hell out, as did whatever else I saw in that time frame.
Marriage story.
Why would i want to watch parents fight for two hours. Might as well just eat with my family for dinner
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.

What you didn’t enjoy watching Ong and his friends Katara and Soh-kah acting super serious and depressed?
Noah with Russel Crowe. Gave it about 10 minutes then me and the missus looked at each other.
"Maybe it'll get better"
"That *maybe* is doing a lot of work"
We gave up when the Twisted Rock Creatures just casually arrive and nobody bats an eyelid, or even explains them.
It might get better, but I'm 40ish, so only have a few decades left, and dont want to risk wasting the hours required to watch this again.

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
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?
Indeed. Its essentially an excuse to watch something sadistic with the deniability of going "no its totally because im a devout christian and its about religion and not because im a sick f**k who enjoys watching people be tortured" christians do a lot of acrobatics to do really horrible things while claiming to be basically angelic. Not all christians obviously, but its disturbing that this out of all the versions of the story was by far the most popular movie. Basically going "whats happening to Jesus is so sad" while stroking themselves through a hole in their pocket...
Load More Replies...I have always wondered why people professing their allegiance to a religion wear the symbol of a horrifying death rather than one which shows the love central to the religion's core message.
I'm not a Christian, not anymore, but I understand the symbolism. Jesus' death was an atoning sacrifice, much like the the animal sacrifices of the old testament. Without him, as a "perfect lamb" taking on our punishment and dying in our stead, the whole religion is pointless. The crucifixion is absolutely central to the entire belief system. And yeah, you can say a lot about how messed up that is. Don't kill the messenger.
Load More Replies...south park rip this to shreds. https://www.southparkstudios.com/episodes/d7grkc/south-park-the-passion-of-the-jew-season-8-ep-3
That was a good episode. Even though that show is super raunchy, it's a great and hilarious commentary on society.
Load More Replies...That was exactly the moment I noped out. I went to see it with my religious dad, trying to bond with him. I told him I had to go and spent the rest of the movie sobbing in the cafe of the movie theater. It wasn't even about Jesus, that s**t actually happenned to so many people... My poor teenage empathetic self did NOT need to see and hear what a flogging looks and sounds like in full Dolby surround
I walked out of church when they put it on. Weird thing is, when I backslid I could watch it without blinking an eye. Now that I came back, no way I'm gonna watch it.
Load More Replies...A religious friend picked it and the rest went with it... it was so bad, all the time I was thinking: this torture devices existed already which means many suffered them and died just the same... what makes Jesus different under those conditions??... I'm a pagan but Jesus is a figure I like because of his compassion and fight for those in need, his humanity. This movie disgusted me and made him just another victim...
Christians believe that what made Jesus different is that He, being the Son of God, lived a sinless life and went to the cross willingly. He had no sin of His own, so His death was able to atone for the sins of the world instead. Also super central, the fact that He rose from the dead after and so "defeated the grave" and death. I've heard it explained, just as a way to make it easy to understand, that He took the sins of the world on his shoulders, carried them with Him into the grave, and then left them there and rose again Himself. I do agree it's a super hard movie and not one I could watch regularly, but I did appreciate seeing it at least a couple times (had to look away now and then) because it is historically accurate that Jesus was beaten and crucified (and also because I'm a Christian, if you didn't already suspect from my comment ha :) )
Load More Replies...this movie was just propaganda for christians. when it was playing locally so many churches bought out the theater seats. i think it was made for the purpose of wanting to show what christ suffered for us. which, according to christian doctrine he did so to purge us of our sins as well as to show that suffering for g-d was worth the pain. but, for me, g-d shouldn't demand such sacrifice and to have young children watch this graphic abuse is almost emotiona/mental abuse. but, no one complained or condemned it because it was the bible story of christ. funny how adults can justify this but then complain about animated and not so bloody depictions in video games.
IF you are a religious person (Christian-wise) you already know how much suffering there was in nailing someone to a cross, let alone the flogging, etc. I didn't miss one single frame of not seeing the movie.
Still not appropriate for kids and alot of Christians felt the need to subject them to it
Load More Replies...We're talking about a religion where the followers turn a symbol of their saviors death into jewellery and then shame people for being "sinful", despite the fact that their entire iconography is about said dead guy dying for and forgiving their sins. Like... Alright. The man died for nothing, and you're using his death to control people. And bling.
To all the people saying "he died for our sins": I'm confused. He died for our sins, ok. Whatever that means. What did he achieved by dying ?Did it change the world? Did it change people ? Is the world supposed to be a better place now ? Because I'm pretty sure it isn't.
Jesus was an evil c**t sometimes. For one thing, he loved the evil Old Testament Laws. He said that you are not to do away with one jot or tittle of the old laws until heaven and earth pass away. He got mad at two different men in the Bible that didn’t kill their children that cursed them. Should we kill children that curse their parents? No. Jesus said that he came not to bring peace, but a sword. Jesus said that he came to separate families. Jesus came upon a barren fig tree and he supposedly smited it. What a stable genius. Jesus supposedly healed a few lepers, but he didn’t cure the disease leprosy itself. Why not? Was he evil, incompetent, just playing favorites, or was he fictional? Some human beings still suffer with leprosy to this day. Science has largely cured the disease leprosy. Thank scientists! You can keep your teachings of Jesus. Secular morality is far superior to any religious morality.
Yeah, I was 12 when my parents dragged me into it... I am so glad that they are less extreme Christians now, my mother even watched the first Harry Potter movie with me recently, because she wanted to know what we (my husband, my sister, my brother, my nieces...) like about HP. That's growth. She even apologised for pushing such extreme views on us as children, saying I'd probably be less of an atheist if she had relented a bit.
I remember telling my uncle that I almost cried and he was surprised that I didn’t cry. I was like “it was a horror movie with no real plot”, which is basically just the bible, so you get what you paid for.
Always remember that the old time definition of passion was 'suffering'
I remember my biological mom taking me to see this for Easter and I was 12. It scared the hell out of me when they demon kids came for Judas. Oddly enough, bio drew the line at Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets because it would teach me witchcraft
Exactly. He suffered and died for our sins! Why are you children crying?? So gross...
I'm confused. He died for our sins, ok. Whatever that means. What did he achieved by dying ? Did it change the world? Did it change people ? Is the world supposed to be a better place now ? Because I'm pretty sure it isn't.
Load More Replies...My thinking is Jesus's beating was a lot worse than this. I made myself watch it. It wretched my soul.
Well Christianism has always thrived on horrible torture of people and guilt tripping them. Actually that goes for all three religions created in the Middle East. Must be a regional thing. So there's no surprise there. Until I was 12 I went to a Catholic school and the books about the Saints were all dripping with their blood and their torture. The more you suffer the better christian you are and you will be rewarded after you die. No wonder that brainwashing was so loved by the people in power.
If you want to watch a movie about religion and violence, I recommend Silence. It's one of few dramas I have watched more than once.
Brought up religious but noped out later... The sick idea behind the pain and suffering is that it is paying for your sins so you ca go to heaven.... At least, that is what the priest was trying to sell at my mums funeral.... I never had much emotional connection with the katholic church before, but at that moment I was done forever. The movie is sickening, it only feeds the minds of those that see a religion as a way to behave "or else hell is waiting for you"...
It was gory, but I think Mel was trying to show the reality of the whole scene...he really did his homework. He tried to show they've that Jesus showed for man kind, and that sin in its own nature is something that isn't beautiful but horrible in many ways.
Millions of people were crucified. Many for standing up for their beliefs. Jesus isn't the only one. He is just the only one who thought they were special.
Load More Replies...I watched for about half an hour and stopped. It was way too violent! It was filmed so the audience would feel his pain. No thanks!
This movie literally gave my mom ptsd- she has anxiety over it for years
A coworker at the time told me "it's okay...if you like to see a guy turn into pizza". Watched it later and boy was he right.
God damn snuff movie parading as "religion". Utter trash - director and producers should have been arrested.
Not a fan of this just wants to make the real situation as bad as possible to gain money
Real situation? I highly doubt any of these events and supernatural things actually happened.
Load More Replies...Yes that was the point because that's the only people will understand - it's BS but it's their belief.
If that’s the conclusion you have reached about Christianity, then you’ve really missed the mark. For a Christian, death is defeated , the grave holds no dominion over is. Jesus himself said he came to bring life and life to its fullest. I’m so sorry for whatever has caused you to think like this.

Movie was a brilliant portrayal to those that understood the message. You’d have to be quite devout to even comprehend it.
The Emoji movie. It was almost a parody of every CGI kids movie.

In the screening I went to (thanks, dad), I watched a whole group of fourteen year old boys hightail it out of there in the first twenty minutes.
When the least discerning movie audience of all time up and leave so soon, you know it'll be amazingly bad.

It bothered me because the girls weren't even bullies in that one like the first. They just did straight up crimes they could have gotten arrested for.
There was a Mean Girls 2? I guess if it's as bad as OP says, it's why I haven't heard of it.

Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. Huge fan of the books but couldn’t make it half an hour into the movie. Literally walked out of the theatre.
ElectricErik added:
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.
THIS. Omg, I hated this movie. Annabeth is supposed to be blonde, they screwed up the plot, and Clarice is just flat-out not there. The musical is better than this!

Such a letdown that one. They should’ve never made a second one. The first one was so good!
Gigli. I thought it might be comically bad, but no, it’s just the moldy cardboard of movies. Made it through about 35 mins before I realized that I was actively thinking about other things and tuning it out. So I turned it off.

It was actually that film that introduced me to the books! I watched it, thought it was ok, found out there were books and bought them. About a year later I decided to rewatch it because I had fond memories. Wow it was bad. I only got about half way in before I quit

Yeah. That was unfortunate. I mean, how do you take all of that talent, all of that back story, all of that money, and come up with... That?
Twice now they have pooched the dark phoenix story. WHY mess with it. I understand the difficulties inherent in the story but they could have come a lot closer to the story. The same with the monstrosity of the new Murder on the Orient Express. WHY change a classic? Vanity? Hubris???
I was hoping for a feel-good goofy movie and saw “Downsizing” while browsing Hulu. After reading the description, I assumed it’d be something like “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids” and went for it.
It was nothing like “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids” :(
Such high hopes. The first half was really intriguing and then it just went full plop

Dear god...that opening...
The way the movie does that awkward quick jump of King Author getting off his horse.
"....Yes, that King Arthur"
Um...did the narrator think I was thinking of another King Arthur...jesus this movie is going to be so bad...
I actually finished watching the movie. I don't know why I did that, but I did.
The Robin Hood movie. The bad guys have machine gun crossbows. It's f*****g bizarre.
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. I didn't hate this as much as some of the people replying but the whole thing was so goofy and stupid that I couldn't be bothered finishing it.
Into the Looking Glass.
I’m normally a huge fan of Tim Burton’s work but i have legitimately sat down w snacks, full intent on watching it, three times now and i just can’t get into it.
Edit: i know he didn’t direct this one but we all know whenever he’s involved his style gets very heavily incorporated
nah I loved it. It has snape as a worm. It's pure Tim Burton. Also ann hathaway is divine. Always.
The Mummy 3. I loved the Mummy series and Brendan Fraser is awesome but my god that was a hot pile of s**t and the only movie I ever walked out of in a theatre.

William Dafoe is the only thing decent about it. The final plan at the end was terrible to begin with.
The most recent Underworld movie, it was a lot more soap opera and general incoherence than anything, beyond saving
No complaints about it. I liked it. Not my favourite in the series, but not at all disappointing.
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.
It sounds like an awful movie, but damn, your description is hilarious!!
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.

Going overboard. Adam Sandler's first movie. It's amazing how it didn't end his career before it started

I actually finished it the one time I started it. Worst movie I have ever watched. I remember a chase scene around the boat where Sandler’s character has different shirts on during the same chase. You couldn’t make a worse movie if you tried.
Zombiesaurus.
I love ‘B Movies’ that are amusingly bad. “Ghost Shark” is a particular favourite, but Zombiesaurus (bought for £2 from my local Asda) was so bad I couldnt finish it.
Should have turned off Invisible Man, but my BF was enjoying it.
I literally spent 75% of that movie thinking "NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. Is it over yet? Surely this is the end. Oh god, it's not. F**k." On repeat.
It wasnt even the fact that he was invisible, just everyone not believing the woman over and over....nooope.
It's been 14 years since I broke up with my controlling gas lighting ex. Clearly not long enough to watch this movie. And my ex wasnt ever physically violent.
-10/10. Hated it.
This was a great remake with a very different take on the story. I can see how it would be (like the review above) a trigger for some that have been in abusive relationships but there is a point to it all.
Inside.
It's a French slasher film about this woman who wants to steal a pregnant widow's fetus. I've watched so many gorefest movies to boot and for some reason this one just totally took it to the next level for me and I couldn't handle it.
I actually got quite close to the end and I just couldn't finish it.
I wouldn't recommend it to any pregnant lady or newly mother
Bird box. What a horrible movie. I made it pretty far, but realised like 45 minutes in that I had no way to empathize with the main character, I hated her, the way she treated the kids, and I hated the way every other character behaved. I turned it off.
Not a movie, but a TV show. Glee. When I watched the first episode, it invoked a hysterical rage in me that I'd never had before. The characters are awful. The plot is nonexistent. If you watch it, you'll realise that murder is actually acceptable after all.
Same. I really *wanted* to like it, but couldn't.
Load More Replies..."Wedding Crashers" Don't know the last time I watched a film with so much homophobic commentary, really bad jokes, sexism and men who just want to hear themselves talking. Just thinking about the film gives me the creeps..
Arachnophobia. It's not a comedy, and my husband discovered he's a true arachnophobe about 40 minutes into it. We walked around for an hour to calm him down.
Is it supposed to be a comedy? It's the only horror movie that has even actually scared me. Awful.
Load More Replies...Titanic. I never managed to finish it. Fell asleep 3 times while trying. Don't understand the hype.
I hope you woke up when the boat sinks. Best moment of the movie.
Load More Replies...Dumb and dumber. I know that many people enjoyed this movie, but it was unbearable to watch, I gave up after 15 minutes. Gues I'll never like Jim Carrey movies.
I disagree. But I first watched it as a little kid. There may be some nostalgia in why I enjoy it. Same with Ace Ventura movies.
Load More Replies...The Green Card. The protagonist is not likeable. You know she's committing fraud just to get an apartment with a greenhouse. The guy just wants a green card. There is absolutely no chemistry between that imposter couple. The whole idea of having a greenhouse in your apartment gives me images of infestation problems. The whole movie is just frustrating to watch. You think it's going in one direction and then falls flat.
Tried to watch James Cameron's "Avatar" once. Found it boring and painfully predictable. I never could develop any empathy for those stupid Na'vi.
Artemis Fowl. It desecrated the books and you know, Butler is basically a slave and I think, Eastern -European in the books. Disney in a stroke of genius, make him black! And that is without mentioning the plot. (Kill the mum, combine books, change characters, Fowl Sr.)
God, yes. Eoin Colfer was literally under contract not to speak about how [crud] it was. Absolute train wreck, everything was wrong, and speaking as an Artemis Fowl superfan it viscerally offended me. Im getting angry just thinking about it lol
Load More Replies...Evolution with David Duchovny and Howard the Duck are the only movies I've had to walk out on because they were so stupid and unenjoyable.
There's Something About Mary, and consequently anything with Ben Stiller in it.
Okay, here go's. Forest Gump. I've been told ( vehemently!) that I should have toughed it out but a half hour or so used up my cringe quota for the year.
I have only seen it once and I strongly disliked it. Then was told by my (mercifully) now ex brother-in-law that I just didn't understand it. Dude, there was nothing to understand. A random guy gets lucky almost his whole life and falls into millions of dollars. It was too busy and unrealistic for me, no matter how much social commentary there was scattered throughout it.

Izo (2004), Eyes wide shut, and Queen of the damned. I’m willing to give queen of the damned another try some day, the other two … no, never!
I really wanted to like Queen of the damned as I was an Aliyah fan but it's not a good movie, I think it should have either been a trilogy or a series as they packed too much into one movie.
Load More Replies...Hadn't even heard of half of these; probably explains why. The one I most remember finding unbearable was The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover in the late 80s. I love most of the main actors normally but I still think it was a pile of appallingly pretentious auteurist wnak.
It came on video around Thanksgiving that year and I understand it was the "entertainment" for some unknowing people post Thanksgiving meal. Yikes.

U. F. O. if I even remember the name correctly. Had it on vhs (bought dead cheap). The movie is such a boring slog that I tried to watch it on 3 different occasions and fell asleep Every. Single. Time.
Drop dead Fred, about an adult with an imaginary Friend. Was so bad we stopped watching after a few minutes.
5-Headed Shark Attack. Wasn’t even so stupid it was funny, it just had a bad plot, horrible actors and way too-many sequels and prequels.
Those are just all bad. On that note, when you watch those with a drinking game, they get hilarious half way through. 😅
Load More Replies..."From Dusk till Dawn" about 20 minutes or so into it I turned it off and made up my own ending. The vampires killed the actors, their agents who conned them into doing that movie, the writers, the director, etc.
How do you know about the vampires if you quit after 20 Minutes?
Load More Replies...Naked Lunch, Blue Velvet, and Wild at Heart. I've seen detergents leave better film.
I've only seen 6 of these on this list, and most I've never heard of. But I have to agree that Cats was the absolute worst! (I saw the broadway play a few decades ago and that was fantastic!) The only movie I feel was worse than Cats—and not on this list—was Melancholia.
Sometimes a bad movie can be fun. I remember watching "Creature Of The Black Lagoon" in a rep cinema packed with rowdy college students on spring break and really enjoying it. Then there are bad movies that are just plain bad. "A Good Man In Africa" - my partner was a Sean Connery fan at the time and even he stopped watching. "The Story Of O" - it was a midnight showing at a rep cinema and so many people walked out. Most boring artsy-porn film ever, I fell asleep.
Rocky Horror Picture Show. I saw it before it became the camp experience with newspaper, toilet paper, and all the crazy audience participation. I just didn't get it, and ran screaming from the theater. Later on, attended several midnight showings and loved every minute.
World War Z. The only reason I *didn't* walk out of the cinema was because it was raining and I didn't have a jacket with me. It's no wonder that Max Brooks insisted his name be removed from the final film.
I can't believe "Glitter" with Mariah Carey didn't make the cut! It is absolutely the worst movie and acting I have ever suffered through.
Robert Redford's 2013 movie All is Lost. I get it's meant to be all about the cinematography and effects, there's hardly any dialogue and we went into the movie knowing that, but I didn't need 45 minutes to figure out Robert Redford's character can work a boat. There was no build up before or explanation after the main events so we just didn't care about his character at all. Honestly it was just boring and I felt robbed at the end.
The only movie I ever walked out on was Natural Born Killers, despite liking everyone involved with that film, it was a violent mess. A better movie with the same vibe is Kalifornia.
I didn't quite walk out because I'd paid, but worst film I've seen at the cinema was Soloman Kane ( because there was nothing else on ) 1 movie I did turn off is Annie Hall. Not willing to call it a 'bad movie' seeing how much people seem to like it. I guess it's just not for me.
The Stupids. Not sure *why* my brother and i went to see that at a dollar theater. We walked out after half an hour. Still mad about my dollar.
Why isnt The Happening on here? Worst movie I've ever seen in my life. Like so bad it's comical.
That’s the reason. It’s so bad it’s funny, which makes you watch the whole thing.
Load More Replies...Velocipastor. Read the description, thought that it would be at least a funny B-movie. Nope. Not B, C, or even a D-movie. It's all the way down to J-movie. It's just that bad for acting/script work/special effects/pretty much everything. Never made it past 30 minutes of its 70 minute runtime.
The worst movie I've ever seen was Bruno. Not only was it a terrible movie in general, I made the colossal mistake of going to see it with my father. (For those who haven't seen it, it involves quite a bit of full-frontal male nudity, including scene breaks in which the camera zooms in on a dude's wildly swinging genitals.) I think the only reason we didn't leave the theater is that we were both trying to play it cool by pretending we weren't really there.
Velocipastor for me. I absolutely LOVE some B movies. This was a G movie. Not rated G, but that far down the alphabet in quality/acting/script/special effects/etc.
Anyone try watching the Bee Movie...? Yeah, just don't lol. I finished it, barely. Also can't bring myself to watch the Artemis Fowl movie knowing how bad they messed it up.
I went to see Last Tango In Paris at our student cinema. I was so bored after 40 minutes I went into the proj box and spent the rest of the time talking to the projectionist. Se7en. Also at the student cinema. There was so much background sound the dialogue was barely audible and the detectives never switched the lights on when searching a murder scene, they just flashed torches around and seemed to miss stuff simply because it was too dark. I got irritated and left after 30ish minutes. I just went up to the office and hung out or read a film magazine.
To be fair, Fincher is notorious for lowlighting all his movies, to the point it's now an industry joke. But yeah I hear ya

Two which I am certain were only crapped out to retain the movie rights: Riverworld and The Dark Tower. Blech.
I fell asleep during The Revenant, but that was more due to a long work shift, being awake for over 12 hours when I watched it, and biking to and from work. Also not a movie, but I stopped watching the anime Eden's Zero before season 1 was over. Same creator as Fairy Tail, and it felt like the creator copied his own homework a little too much with the two series despite the different settings of the worlds. Gave up at around episode 15.
There are three movies I've not been able to finish: I Heart Huccabees, John Carpenter's Vampires and Love & Friendship. Appalling. All very different and all very awful. As for the movies mentioned on this list I've only seen one. Haven't even tried the rest.
Tusk. I love horror and I appreciate original and gore and general fùcked up shīt but this was just kind of annoying like "hmmm what can we do to try to ride coattails of human centipede but reign in the gross factor?" A walrus.
I’m just lucky I’ve never seen any of them. Thanks for the heads up on junk to avoid. Much appreciated
An '80's Western which name I have thankfully forgotten, IIRC about the James brothers and the Younger brothers teaming up for a benk heist with much graphic violence. I soon tired of the bullets and bloodshed, and walked out -- my only escape from a film, ever.
I really loved Black Swan!! What did you dislike about it?
Load More Replies...In Germany we have a show named SchleFAZ (schlechteste Filme aller Zeiten); translated as worse movies ever. The movies get comments of two funny guys (in screen boxes), little sequences in with this guys talk about the s**t they saw as far, and such stuff. That movies on the show are really, really bad. They would perfectly fit here.
Those movies here that I watched, I watched until the end because I hate not having closure. Some were so predictably terrible that I never even bothered.
I literally stayed up until 3am on a work night to finish reading the Douglas Preston/Lincoln Child novel, "Relic." When I heard they'd made a movie out of it, I was thrilled--until I watched it. The authors didn't know any better at the time, so they ceded total creative control to the studio. The studio apparently "couldn't figure out who to cast" as Pendergast, the character in the novel who held all the disparate plot threads together--so they just cut him out entirely. Turned a very well-written book, that I stayed up way too late at night to finish, into a cheesy B-movie horror flick that made no sense. Apparently the studio wanted to turn another Preston/Child novel into a movie; I remember seeing trailers for it. The movie never got made--Preston and Child learned their lesson after Relic, and insisted on having more creative control over the film. The studio basically said, "Do it our way, or it doesn't get done." The studio was very surprised when Preston and Child...
Birdemic 2. Was on one of the Pluto TV channels one day, and while I hadn't seen Birdemic, I enjoy really bad horror movies (in part because they're too bad to be scary), so figured...worth a shot. Absolutely not. Scenes so repetitive, no pacing to speak of, omg the jellyfish scene. Actually, just go watch the jellyfish scene. It's the best one in the film, at least as far as I saw.
Everything Everywhere All at once. First movie I walked out of in 20 years
Why didn’t you like it? It’s one of my favorites
Load More Replies...Am I smart or just lucky? Haven't watched, or intended to watch, a single one of those movies.
Dracula 3000, I just couldn't get past the first 5 minutes, and I tried, but it was sooooo bad
Yea I agree with almost all of those. I left the theater for a couple of them. Didn't bother watching all the way through for the rest.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I know, I know. It's considered an iconic film. My husband watched it and said he'd like to watch it again, but with me. I gave up around 40 minutes in. I looked at him and went, "What's the point of the movie? And where the hell is this story going?"
It was a stage musical long before it became a movie, I suspect that most stage musicals don't have much plot going on.
Load More Replies...The Lighthouse. I actually did make it through the movie because a coworker really wanted me to, but it was gross. I know it was supposed to be deep and resonate with me, but I just couldn't get past the absolute grime I felt all over my flesh watching it. And there was animal cruelty in it. Which I told him off about at length the next time I saw him.
I think that was an actors acting movie pick, vs. a story played by actors that people just enjoy. As soon as someone gets into 'process' I'm struggling.
Load More Replies...I couldn't get more than halfway through "Nightmare Before Christmas". It was just so boring....
Noooooo! This is my favorite movie of all time 🤣 I'm sorry you didn't enjoy it!!
Load More Replies...“What’s Up Balloon to the Rescue” is my contribution to this list. (To be fair, I fully expected it to be terrible because of a friend’s recommendation to “just… just watch it”)
miss peregrine's home for peculiar children. I love the book series and I hate the movie. After I saw the trailer I knew I wasn't going to last long in it. I mostly hated that they switch the love interest from red hair with fire power with blonde girl with air powers.
Get in touch with HACKWEST at WRITEME dot COM if you want to recover your scammed funds or get some legal counsel on how to go about it. They’re the best and most legit team out there. West helped to recover my lost Bitcoin of about $289k worth. I saw their reviews and reached out, got back all my funds with my return on investment. Superb I must say!
Inception. I went with a group of woman for a birthday party. I tried to stay and watch the entire movie. Really, I liked my friends. Had to leave. Slow. Boring. Did I mention boring? Give me some drecky super hero movie any day.
“Don’t Look Up”. It’s two hours of “oh look, Leo DiCaprio is smacking himself on the head and everyone is blurting out the word f#ck three times in every sentence, isn’t it just so quirky and edgy???” Um…no, it’s not. It’s pretentious and insufferable.
I‘m gonna get a lot of downvotes for this one but I‘ve never been able to finish „the godfather“. I think it’s just boring.
Scarface I’m sorry too hard to emphasize with such a horrible character. I know he gets gunned down in the end but still the journey to the ending is hard to watch also th f word is used too much so much so that I had enough and quit watching it.
For me it was parasite. I did finish it, but only because i kinda promised my mom id watch it, and it was a literal herculean effort. I get its one of those artsy films, but really there isnt any point. Its not really saying anything specific, its just a situation thats a bit weird that plays out. Not weird enough to be suspenseful or anything, just weird. I found it agressivelly boring.
New and old jumanji. Grease, a lot of new mexican productions, most of the horror movies. They're boring and predictable
I liked Jumanji. I haven't seen Grease tho. What exactly did you not like about Jumanji?
Load More Replies...Not a movie, but a TV show. Glee. When I watched the first episode, it invoked a hysterical rage in me that I'd never had before. The characters are awful. The plot is nonexistent. If you watch it, you'll realise that murder is actually acceptable after all.
Same. I really *wanted* to like it, but couldn't.
Load More Replies..."Wedding Crashers" Don't know the last time I watched a film with so much homophobic commentary, really bad jokes, sexism and men who just want to hear themselves talking. Just thinking about the film gives me the creeps..
Arachnophobia. It's not a comedy, and my husband discovered he's a true arachnophobe about 40 minutes into it. We walked around for an hour to calm him down.
Is it supposed to be a comedy? It's the only horror movie that has even actually scared me. Awful.
Load More Replies...Titanic. I never managed to finish it. Fell asleep 3 times while trying. Don't understand the hype.
I hope you woke up when the boat sinks. Best moment of the movie.
Load More Replies...Dumb and dumber. I know that many people enjoyed this movie, but it was unbearable to watch, I gave up after 15 minutes. Gues I'll never like Jim Carrey movies.
I disagree. But I first watched it as a little kid. There may be some nostalgia in why I enjoy it. Same with Ace Ventura movies.
Load More Replies...The Green Card. The protagonist is not likeable. You know she's committing fraud just to get an apartment with a greenhouse. The guy just wants a green card. There is absolutely no chemistry between that imposter couple. The whole idea of having a greenhouse in your apartment gives me images of infestation problems. The whole movie is just frustrating to watch. You think it's going in one direction and then falls flat.
Tried to watch James Cameron's "Avatar" once. Found it boring and painfully predictable. I never could develop any empathy for those stupid Na'vi.
Artemis Fowl. It desecrated the books and you know, Butler is basically a slave and I think, Eastern -European in the books. Disney in a stroke of genius, make him black! And that is without mentioning the plot. (Kill the mum, combine books, change characters, Fowl Sr.)
God, yes. Eoin Colfer was literally under contract not to speak about how [crud] it was. Absolute train wreck, everything was wrong, and speaking as an Artemis Fowl superfan it viscerally offended me. Im getting angry just thinking about it lol
Load More Replies...Evolution with David Duchovny and Howard the Duck are the only movies I've had to walk out on because they were so stupid and unenjoyable.
There's Something About Mary, and consequently anything with Ben Stiller in it.
Okay, here go's. Forest Gump. I've been told ( vehemently!) that I should have toughed it out but a half hour or so used up my cringe quota for the year.
I have only seen it once and I strongly disliked it. Then was told by my (mercifully) now ex brother-in-law that I just didn't understand it. Dude, there was nothing to understand. A random guy gets lucky almost his whole life and falls into millions of dollars. It was too busy and unrealistic for me, no matter how much social commentary there was scattered throughout it.
Load More Replies...Game of Thrones. They turned it into a porn movie. How many actors and actresses did NOT take their clothes off?
Izo (2004), Eyes wide shut, and Queen of the damned. I’m willing to give queen of the damned another try some day, the other two … no, never!
I really wanted to like Queen of the damned as I was an Aliyah fan but it's not a good movie, I think it should have either been a trilogy or a series as they packed too much into one movie.
Load More Replies...Hadn't even heard of half of these; probably explains why. The one I most remember finding unbearable was The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover in the late 80s. I love most of the main actors normally but I still think it was a pile of appallingly pretentious auteurist wnak.
It came on video around Thanksgiving that year and I understand it was the "entertainment" for some unknowing people post Thanksgiving meal. Yikes.
Load More Replies...Aquaman! Coudn't stand the CGI overload. Even Jason Momoa could't save it for me!
U. F. O. if I even remember the name correctly. Had it on vhs (bought dead cheap). The movie is such a boring slog that I tried to watch it on 3 different occasions and fell asleep Every. Single. Time.
Drop dead Fred, about an adult with an imaginary Friend. Was so bad we stopped watching after a few minutes.
5-Headed Shark Attack. Wasn’t even so stupid it was funny, it just had a bad plot, horrible actors and way too-many sequels and prequels.
Those are just all bad. On that note, when you watch those with a drinking game, they get hilarious half way through. 😅
Load More Replies..."From Dusk till Dawn" about 20 minutes or so into it I turned it off and made up my own ending. The vampires killed the actors, their agents who conned them into doing that movie, the writers, the director, etc.
How do you know about the vampires if you quit after 20 Minutes?
Load More Replies...Naked Lunch, Blue Velvet, and Wild at Heart. I've seen detergents leave better film.
I've only seen 6 of these on this list, and most I've never heard of. But I have to agree that Cats was the absolute worst! (I saw the broadway play a few decades ago and that was fantastic!) The only movie I feel was worse than Cats—and not on this list—was Melancholia.
Sometimes a bad movie can be fun. I remember watching "Creature Of The Black Lagoon" in a rep cinema packed with rowdy college students on spring break and really enjoying it. Then there are bad movies that are just plain bad. "A Good Man In Africa" - my partner was a Sean Connery fan at the time and even he stopped watching. "The Story Of O" - it was a midnight showing at a rep cinema and so many people walked out. Most boring artsy-porn film ever, I fell asleep.
Rocky Horror Picture Show. I saw it before it became the camp experience with newspaper, toilet paper, and all the crazy audience participation. I just didn't get it, and ran screaming from the theater. Later on, attended several midnight showings and loved every minute.
World War Z. The only reason I *didn't* walk out of the cinema was because it was raining and I didn't have a jacket with me. It's no wonder that Max Brooks insisted his name be removed from the final film.
I can't believe "Glitter" with Mariah Carey didn't make the cut! It is absolutely the worst movie and acting I have ever suffered through.
Robert Redford's 2013 movie All is Lost. I get it's meant to be all about the cinematography and effects, there's hardly any dialogue and we went into the movie knowing that, but I didn't need 45 minutes to figure out Robert Redford's character can work a boat. There was no build up before or explanation after the main events so we just didn't care about his character at all. Honestly it was just boring and I felt robbed at the end.
The only movie I ever walked out on was Natural Born Killers, despite liking everyone involved with that film, it was a violent mess. A better movie with the same vibe is Kalifornia.
I didn't quite walk out because I'd paid, but worst film I've seen at the cinema was Soloman Kane ( because there was nothing else on ) 1 movie I did turn off is Annie Hall. Not willing to call it a 'bad movie' seeing how much people seem to like it. I guess it's just not for me.
The Stupids. Not sure *why* my brother and i went to see that at a dollar theater. We walked out after half an hour. Still mad about my dollar.
Why isnt The Happening on here? Worst movie I've ever seen in my life. Like so bad it's comical.
That’s the reason. It’s so bad it’s funny, which makes you watch the whole thing.
Load More Replies...Velocipastor. Read the description, thought that it would be at least a funny B-movie. Nope. Not B, C, or even a D-movie. It's all the way down to J-movie. It's just that bad for acting/script work/special effects/pretty much everything. Never made it past 30 minutes of its 70 minute runtime.
The worst movie I've ever seen was Bruno. Not only was it a terrible movie in general, I made the colossal mistake of going to see it with my father. (For those who haven't seen it, it involves quite a bit of full-frontal male nudity, including scene breaks in which the camera zooms in on a dude's wildly swinging genitals.) I think the only reason we didn't leave the theater is that we were both trying to play it cool by pretending we weren't really there.
Velocipastor for me. I absolutely LOVE some B movies. This was a G movie. Not rated G, but that far down the alphabet in quality/acting/script/special effects/etc.
Anyone try watching the Bee Movie...? Yeah, just don't lol. I finished it, barely. Also can't bring myself to watch the Artemis Fowl movie knowing how bad they messed it up.
I went to see Last Tango In Paris at our student cinema. I was so bored after 40 minutes I went into the proj box and spent the rest of the time talking to the projectionist. Se7en. Also at the student cinema. There was so much background sound the dialogue was barely audible and the detectives never switched the lights on when searching a murder scene, they just flashed torches around and seemed to miss stuff simply because it was too dark. I got irritated and left after 30ish minutes. I just went up to the office and hung out or read a film magazine.
