People Are Revealing The Movies That Made Them Walk Out Of A Theater, And A Lot Of You Are Gonna Be Maaaaaaad LOL

We recently asked the lovely members of the BuzzFeed Community, "What movie was so bad you actually walked out of it?" And they did NOT hold back, LOL. So, I'm sorry if one of your faves is on the list below, but here's what they said:

Note: Some spoilers ahead.

1. Love Actually (2003) — "It's the only movie I’ve ever walked out on. In theory, I should have loved it, but I just couldn’t bear any of the characters. Because I left in the first half hour, I even got a refund from the cinema!"

What it's about: Set during Christmas time, the film explores the theme of love through 10 different stories.

2. Longlegs (2024) — "It was promising and then took a turn somewhere closer to the end, a turn I was not expecting. I miss the old days when horror flicks were just classic slasher/killer/scare-you-type movies. Not some over-the-top but underexplained types of movies. The acting in it was good, but the storyline was just underwhelming compared to how it was advertised, which is about 90% of horror movies these days."

What it's about: An FBI Agent is tasked with tracking down a serial killer, which sends her down a rabbit hole filled with occult happenings and ties to her own past.

3. Jurassic World Dominion (2022) — "I absolutely love movies. The theater is my church. I'm also a huge fan of event movies and Jurassic Park sits proudly among those films. So of course I will always go into a new entry hoping for something grand. Holy shit did this one fuck the bed! It got to a point somewhere between giant locusts, poisoning the world's food supply, and dinosaur fight club, where I turned to my wife and said, 'Do you want to go?' She kind of giggled and said, 'Yeah, I know, right?' And I said, 'No, I'm dead serious. Do you want to get the fuck out of here?' She looked at me like I had just discovered fire, and we beat feet."

4. Babes (2024) — "The main character was so insufferable. In the first 15 minutes she proceeds to be rude to a movie ticket vendor for no reason when she and a friend go to a movie on Thanksgiving."

5. The Shape of Water (2017) — "Not a terrible movie but definitely not deserving of Best Picture. Especially when it all boils down to a fish fucking noir."

6. Beauty and the Beast (2017) — "My dad and I went to see it in the theater. It was weird, and I hated it so much, so we walked out."

7. Moulin Rouge (2001) — "Felt like I was being battered by music and sound effects the whole time. Non-singers to boot, ruining classics. Just LOUD. Walked out with a headache."

8. The Last Airbender (2010) — "Not bad enough to be funny- just bad. I walked out 30 minutes in and never looked back."

9. The Green Inferno (2013) — "It first started off as this crappy camp horror movie and me and my friend were going to walk out just for the horrible acting... and then the REAL horror movie started. We walked out due to the intense gore that was shown basically out of nowhere, and we’re both horror movie buffs. This was basically felt like a snuff film."

10. Abandoned (2022) — "It's a horror movie with Emma Roberts. The first 20 minutes was nothing but a crying, screaming baby. Nonstop. I couldn’t handle it."

11. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) — "I was there with my boyfriend. I HATE horror movies and sat there with my eyes closed half the time. I said to myself, 'Why am I here? I hate this!' Told my boyfriend I wanted to leave and never went to another horror movie again."

12. Twisters (2024) — "Made it 40 minutes in when it finally occurred to me that I’m supposed to feel bad for these idiots when bad things happen to them after they run directly inside tornados. I couldn’t empathize or sympathize with these people. Here’s a thought…don’t do that."

13. Wonder Woman 1984 (2020) — "I remember being really excited to see Kristen Wiig as the villain, and they teased Chris Pine's return, which also added to my excitement. But, ultimately, it was a colossal disappointment. Extremely cheesy and boring, and the writing was juvenile. I think I made it through the first 30 minutes, and after Kristen Wiig's second goofy-looking costume, I just had to leave."

14. Hostel (2005) — "I don’t mind nude scenes, but it was way too much. One friend stayed and said it got better after we left, but I had had enough."

15. Hostel: Part II (2007) — "I’m all about gore and horror, but I have two younger sisters, and something about all the victims being young women really made me uncomfortable. So much so that halfway through, I leaned over to my dad, who I was at the theater with, and said, 'This is gross, and I feel gross. Can we leave?' I eventually finished the movie when it went to streaming, but it still left me feeling icky. Women have enough horrific things happen to them in real life; we don’t need to add to that, fictional or not."

16. Licorice Pizza (2021) — "Genuinely awful. Bad acting, creepy love interest, and virtually no plot. My boyfriend and I left halfway through and neither of us even cared to look up how it ended."

17. Kinds of Kindness (2024) — "Hands down the WORST movie I’ve ever seen, and the first movie I straight up walked out of halfway through. The movie is split into three mini-stories, and I was done after the second mini-story. I’ve never felt more punked from a trailer than when I was sitting in the theater watching Jesse Plemmons eat Emma Stone’s fingers to prove she wasn’t really his wife but someone from an island where dogs ruled and humans were treated like dogs… let that sink in for a little bit and then imagine wasting 40 mins watching that."

18. Lost in Translation (2003) — "Even if you exclude the huge age gap between Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson, the movie was lost on me. An hour in and I finally turned it off. I'm still not sure what it was about."

19. Suicide Squad (2016) — "It was when they were all sitting in the bar, and Harley Quinn gave that awful pep talk. That was the final straw, there were plenty of other terrible moments that preceded it."

20. We Need To Talk About Kevin (2011) — "Walked out because I couldn't handle it. My mate was desperate to see it because he loves Tilda Swinton so I went with him. I had to walk out because it was just misery porn."

21. Rebel Without a Cause (1955) — "Maybe it was because I was in a bad mood that night. Maybe it was because the movie was made 20 years before I was born and I missed the historical and societal context. Or maybe it's just a bad movie. But I didn't last ten minutes into Rebel Without a Cause. I couldn't buy Jim Backus as anyone other than Mr. Howell, and Jimmy Dean's ham-fisted acting (screaming, 'You're tearing me apart!' while pulling at his face) just put me over the edge."

22. Manhattan (1979) — "Biggest load of boring, pretentious and unfunny garbage I have ever seen! It was advertised with, 'All you ever wanted to know about sex, but was afraid to ask,' which was great and gave the false impression Manhattan would be also. How wrong could you get? Enjoyed the earlier-than-planned visit to the pub, though!"

23. The Thin Red Line (1998) — "I haven’t walked out of any movie (and I brought my whole family to see The Core because I thought it would be GREAT) except for The Thin Red Line. It is the slowest, dialogue-heavy war movie ever made. It is also mind-numbingly boring. I’ve seen a lot of bad movies, but I watch them through to the end so I can see how truly bad they are. It takes a lot to get me not to want to see how something turns out. Congrats, TTRL — you are a magic film."

24. The Blair Witch Project (1999) — "The constant unsteady camera movements on a giant screen triggered my vertigo issues. I had a raging headache and nausea for the rest of the day."

25. Weekend at Bernie's II (1993) — "The first Weekend at Bernie’s was one of my favorite movies. The basic premise is that a man was killed by poison, but two of his employees spent the weekend pretending that he was still alive. They set up these rigs to make the body move and stuff, and preteen me thought it was the pinnacle of comedy. So when the sequel came out, I couldn’t wait to see it. So, why did I walk out? In this movie, the corpse was animated by means of voodoo, and at the time, we were living in a haunted house, and I experienced some freaky and terrifying things. So, even though the reanimation of the corpse was done in a comical way, it was too much for me, and I had to leave. I waited outside while my friends finished the movie."

26. Skinamarink (2022) — "Absolutely, talk about the most overrated bullshit movie that was supposed to be so innovative. It is a series of static shocks, background TV noise, no discernible plot, and it thinks it can waste 90 minutes of my time on pure atmosphere. My ass!"

27. Movie 43 (2013) — "Movie 43 is the biggest piece of hot garbage I have ever witnessed. I saw it for free and still wanted a refund. It has such big name actors and then everything about it was terrible. Its like someone blackmailed them to be in the movie. The jokes werent funny, the plot is non existent, some parts were downright disgusting. Worst. Movie. Ever."

28. XXX (2002) — "The Vin Diesel movie. Don't know how it got sequels. To this day only movie I walked out of."

29. Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) — "Slow and tedious, and nothing like this Trekkie’s concept of what Star Trek should be. And did I say slow and tedious? One of only two films I ever walked out on."

30. Bulworth (1998) — "This movie had to be the biggest letdown of the '90s. Watching Warren Beatty rap, 'My pussy, my pussy' was the last straw; I looked at my date, stood up, and walked out. The only movie I've ever left early."

31. House of Gucci (2021) — "That movie was not only horrible, it was also incredibly long. We left with more than an hour remaining."

32. Kids (1995) — "I was in high school when it came out. My mom took a whole bunch of us as a 'scared straight' tactic. I was so uncomfortable that I ran out of the theater and sat shaking in the lobby for more than half the movie. At some point she made me go back in because being uncomfortable was the whole point??"

33. Blade Runner 2049 (2017) — "Man, I don't know what it was, but my partner and I could not get into it. We weren't the only ones either. We walked out about half way through, but multiple people had walked out before us. The theater was probably half full when we sat down; by the time we left, it had dwindled to less than a quarter. It was bad."

34. Dumb and Dumber (1994) — "Never encountered a film so accurately titled. Five minutes in I turned my friend and said we can still get our money back. I only laughed once and that was at the bitterness of my lost time."

35. Lone Survivor (2013) — "I was genuinely interested in the story, but the violence was too realistic. I began to feel sick to my stomach and had to leave to avoid passing out."

36. Barnyard (2006) — "Had a free ticket and some time to kill. Walked out after roughly 20 minutes. It was so boring, dumb, and unmemorable that I truly don’t remember what made me leave. Though I do remember thinking bulls don’t have udders. *sigh*"

37. Paranormal Activity 4 (2012) — "My friend and I were so disappointed within the first 10 minutes we decided to leave. It was terrible. There was nothing cohesive about the opening sequence to the first five minutes of the movie, and we were just like, you know what, this is not going to be a good time for us if we stay here. We ended up leaving and going to a sports bar."

38. Grown Ups 2 (2013) — "My mom & I decided to take my nieces and nephews to the movies. We decided on Grown Ups 2. It was absolutely the worst movie. People started leaving within a half hour. The kids begged us to leave, and we finally agreed. It was terrible."

39. The Hangover (2009) — "It started and I think I got about 20 mins in and just walked out I knew I was in for an irritating time otherwise."

40. Spring Breakers (2012) — "It was by far the worst movie I have ever seen in my life. It made no sense. This random group of girls went on a spring break trip and then turned into drug dealers over the course of what a week? Absolutely terrible, terrible, terrible. TERRIBLE!!"

41. Jaws 3-D (1983) — "I went to the theater with a friend, and the seats were perfect, row 7, center. It's impossible to convey what a train wreck this film seems determined to achieve, starting extremely low and only getting worse. Pathetic in every way. Script: appalling. Production values: gruesome. Acting: none. Direction: insipid. Verdict: a brazen cynical insult to Benchley and Spielberg's original. After an unbearable seven minutes, my friend and I looked at each other, said, 'No way,' stood up, and walked out."

42. Battlefield Earth (2000) — "I knew it was going to be bad, but I had no idea it was going to be THAT bad. I went to see it with some friends, hoping it would be good for a laugh, but it couldn't even meet the incredibly low expectations I already had. We barely made it 45 minutes before we left the theater."

43. The Nutty Professor (1996) — "It was just a series of bad fat jokes. At the time, I was fit but still found it offensive enough that I left. Today I am one of the people he was targetting and I'm proud of my past self for not sitting through that garbage."

44. The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (2004) — "The second she said she and Michael had broken up, I was OUT. Years later, I've actually watched it, and it's actually not that bad....but it doesn't hold up to the original at all. RIP, Michael, my teenage crush. I would also like to say that in the books, they get married, so....the sequel's a little disappointing!"

45. Terms of Endearment (1983) — "If this isn’t the worst big-budget studio film ever made, it’s certainly a contender. Why would anyone want to sit through a movie night about someone (Shirley MacLaine’s character), a person with no redeeming qualities?"

46. Spider-Man 3 (2007) — "When the musical numbers started, I looked around the theater to see if I was being punk’d. I literally LOL'd and got up and walked out."

47. Tenet (2020) — "Still don’t know what it was about and never will because it won’t ever get any more of my time."

48. Autumn in New York (2000) — "It was so boring I fell asleep during the movie. Once I woke up I looked over to my friend who had also fallen asleep! I woke her up, and we left the theater. It didn’t seem like we missed anything."

49. American Hustle (2013) — "To this day, I still do not understand the critical acclaim that American Hustle received. It's the only time I had walked out of the cinema in my whole life. It was painfully dull, the pacing was all over the place, the characters lacked any depth. Even thinking about it now makes me angry that I wasted a cinema outing!"

50. Simply Irresistible (1999) — "I nearly walked out when the magic crab showed up, and did walk out when they kissed and started floating. This is still the only movie I’ve walked out of and requested a refund for."

51. Finally, Mobsters (1991) —"Worst movie EVER. I went to see the movie with friends, so I was forced to sit through it, but when it was over, I was so pissed I went directly to the box office and demanded a refund. (I didn't get it, but I definitely gave them my two cents!)"
