Have you ever walked out of the cinema or turned off a DVD part way through because you have been so bored or disappointed with the movie?
I fell asleep in the cinema watching 'the last three days' i found it so boring
The last Dvd i switched off was Battlefield Earth

Bloodrayne 3 ...see above
What Just Happened - Didn't seem to follow what was happening, or more to the point -care
Tango and Cash, Daredevil and Chicago are ones I've walked out of. I would have liked to have left Transformers 2, but was giving lifts home to others who wanted to stay and watch.
Turned White Chicks DVD off, as I just couldn't see the point.
For me these days, the benchmark of a good film is one where I stay awake throughout.
I have sat through some right rubbish on DVD or stuff I have recorded, but I tend to skip to the end on fast forward "just to see if it does get any better" and get the gist of what happens to the characters (ie. if they get shot etc)
Last film I properly turned off was Dirty Rotten Scoundrels!
Lasted 25 mins I think. Beyond awful.
I also switched off Ghost Ship and 28 Weeks Later, but for a very different reason. I can usually handle horrors, but they had moments of gore which made me feel quite ill. I eventually resumed them though, good films
My girlfriend and I were watching 'Before the devil knows you're dead', we turned it of out of utter boredom with aroud 40 mins left. Even repeated scenes of a topless/naked Marisa Tomei couldn't keep it intresting.
Twilight. Gave up after about ten minutes. Wasn't for me
Loads of people I know love that movie. I think it looks like boring shite.
Saw the end coming a mile off.A film about the Holocaust(albeit seen through a child eyes) does not a classic film make.
I have never fallen asleep in the cinema before either, I would find it impossible to sleep with a big bright screen and loud surround sound, so even if I was exhausted (if I was I would probably not go the cinema) I wouldn't be able to fall asleep.
I like to watch a film all away through no matter how bad they are though.
I usually trust my tv mag.The film reviews are pretty much spot on.
They gave this one 4 out of 5.I'd give it 2 out of 5 and that's being generous.Boring shite indeed.
I have walked out of the cinema once - The Talented Mr Ripley
If I hadn't been with a group in the cinema box, I would have walked out on Enduring Love
The Talented Mr Ripley is one of my favourite films... :eek:
last dvd i switched off half way through was munich. Again just got bored of it. Will give it another chance one sunday afternoon or something.
