Movies You Turned Off Before The End

Postby the_wolfs_howl » Thu Oct 04, 2007 1:30 am

Have you ever watched a movie for the first time, then turned it off before the end and never went back to it because it was so horrible?

I've only done that twice. The first time was for Disney's The Wild. It was so horrible; it felt like they wanted you to be hanging on until the next joke, and there was only one joke I found slightly funny in a very dumb way. So I left my sisters to it halfway through, feeling disgusted and wanting to write a letter to Disney telling them that their movie didn't deserve to play "Clocks" in it :sweat:

The other one was The Three Musketeers. For one thing, the main character was very annoying, as too many young, stupid heroes are. Then there were way too many sexually suggestive scenes too, so I turned it off and stormed away about half an hour into it.
You can find out things about the past that you never knew. And from what you've learned, you may see some things differently in the present. You're the one that changes. Not the past.

Let's see...there was Xanadu (something didn't feel right), See Spot Run (boooooooooooooring...not to mention gross XP), and I'd say Shrek even though I never got past the first few minutes at a friends house because of some interruption, and then when I tried watching it again the other night, my mom was so disgusted we had to change the channel.

I once walked out of a movie at a movie theater. The Skeleton Key I was dragged to this movie by my friends, having no idea what it was about.

The premise of the story is possesion by some sort of Hoodoo stuff. It was a really uncomfortable movie. I was hoping by the end that good would prevail over evil...

It didn't, and I walked out before the movie ended...leaving my friends in their seats and wonder where I went.

I waited for the movie to end before I went back in to find them.

Not a movie but an OVA: Angel Santuary. It was horrible enough that I had NO CLUE what was even going on when random characters would appear and talk about devious plans or whatever. Once I found out at the end of the 2nd OVA that the brother and sister were holding hands and running away together I was like "okkkk that's enough of that!" and never downloaded the 3rd part...


What I used to do often with movies, watch watch them partway through and then go on the computer to play games. Not that the movies weren't that interesting, but I thought computer games at the time would be alot more fun^^

I turned off the first Left Behind film before it started. When I saw Cloud Ten's other film previews (combined with my already significant theological issues) I came to the conclusion it probably wasn't worth my time. Having now seen parts of it for a Revelation class, I'm sure about that.

I've done this with a few movies. Let me think...

The Ladykillers (Tom Hanks version)

Highly disappointing. Overuse of the F-word (seriously, like, 40 times within the first hour) and just all around rude. My family and I left the theater.

A Chorus Line

Quite literally no plot, and no, plot does not mean sob stories, stories about coming out of the closet, and stories about looking through medical books for inappropriate reasons at age 12 in song and dance form. Worst musical I've ever half-seen.

I know there are at least a few more, but I can't remember any of them at the moment. XD

That's just a Coen brothers movie for you. You have to have a taste for them. Though The Ladykillers wasn't one of their best anyway. . . .
As for me, I'm not easily offended, but there were a few movies that made me squirm uncomfortably in my seat. The two that come immediately to mind are A Clockwork Orange and American History X.

NightWatch.

It was so unlike the book, overhyped, and tried way too hard to be cool at the expense of the characters and the story. Dead with a glossy sheen coating it.

The Fast and the Furious. A friend tried to make me watch it, saying "Trust me, you'll like it!" He was quite swiftly proven incorrect.

Ultraviolet. I watched this in hopes that it would be a good action film, much like Equilibrium. I was wrong. :(

I have turned off many films before they were over... however, the last one was Epic Movie. I think a 2 year old could make a better film, and it would be a lot funnier too.

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. It seemed like it MIGHT have a good storyline. But the ending felt so poorly done that any mystery the film might have created was gone.

And any science fiction film my dad watches. XD His tastes and mine are very different.

Yeah, I actually enjoyed The Ladykillers. The only one recently that I can think of was Kinsey. I turned it off within ten minutes.

I would have shut of Eragon if it wasn't for the fact I saw it in theatres.
That movie was so terrible.
I like the books though.

Uhm...I don't remember the name of it...but Micah and I went over to his friends house to watch movies...and in all honesty...I don't like watching movie's with his friends. 1) they're not christians. 2) their tastes in movies are...highly sexual...at least that's my experience. Uhm..the movie was about some guy that had poison in him and in order to keep himself alive he had to keep his adrenaline up? well at the point where he and his girlfriend go at it in public...we had to just leave the room. we couldn't stand it. So his friend came ina few minutes later...apologizing and drove us home.

Also...I'm gonna get so hit for this...Hot Fuzz (is that the name?:sweat: ) I watched it all the way through. but it's definitely NOT something I enjoy. I want to know what movie it's based on...cause I LOVED the plot...just none of the humor...:shady:

Now...I have a feeling that once Shatterheart sees this...I'm gonna end up :banned:....

Oh man. I can't believe I forgot about this one...

Westender. Horrible, horrible movie. I honestly can't say one good thing about it.

Ok, I didn't turn it off midway, we just fast forwarded to the end to see if it would bw worth watching the mid section.

I looked for youtube clips, but apparently this movie is so bad it's not even on youtube.

I watched about....The first five or ten minutes of Anchorman at a friend's house. I was like..."What the mess is this!??!?!"
I didn't laugh for any of the jokes they threw, and, with my friend hyping it up saying "Omg dude it's sooo funny", I got kind of annoyed and threw in Super Smash Melee.

And most of Will Farrell's stuff I do not like. It's so bad I can't use a contraction on his stuff.
But, I actually wanna see "Stranger than Fiction". Guy has his life typed out for him, lol. Even he couldn't mess that up.

I actually loved Anchorman, but I can see why some people wouldn't. XD I would recommend Stranger than Fiction, though--it's got a far more serious tone and not really any of the typical Will Ferrell humor, if you aren't a fan. Good movie, though. :thumb:

Since I'm the kind of guy who often goes out of his way to watch lousy movies, it takes a LOT for me to give up on one before it's over. Just about the only times I ever bail out is when I'm interrupted or I already missed the beginning. Other wise, even if it sticks, I can usually find ways of enjoying myself during any movie :D

Holy crap. I remember as a young'un absolutely hating the movie Babe. "Heeheee, pigs are definitely stupid!" Such an annoying movie. Probably stopped about 10 minutes in.

And Saved. I should probably go back and try to watch it again -- I hear it's got a good theological message to it if you can tolerate the *ahem* naughtier bits. I am the type of guy who will hate a movie because one character says the F-word, but maybe I've changed. Maybe I can make Saved an exception. It was really funny up until that point. XD

I tend to watch movies through; a movie would have to be really bad for me to "turn off".

If I had rented Hostel or watched it on TV I would have certainly turned it off. Yet I saw it in the cinema (dragged in by friends) and could not turn it off.

On the whole I can't really think of movies I "turned off" except maybe 2001: A Space Odyssey. Not because it was boring or depressing or anything bad. It's just that whole technicolor nightmare ending was just too much for me. Yes, I turned it off five minutes before the end! :)

There are two movies I've seriously wanted to walk out on, but didn't because I was with other people.

The first was Titan AE. I'm sorry, but it was so BORING!

The second was The Devil Wears Prada. Shallow, unfunny, and infuriating. I do not understand why people liked this movie so much. The only good thing about it was the clothing.

Also, I used to like Kevin Smith's movies, but when I tried to watch Chasing Amy, I turned it off about halfway through. I just couldn't take it.
