The worst movie you have ever seen in the Cinema

What is the worst film / most crappiest experience you've ever had in a cinema ?

I'll start. I remember watching the zodiac. I was immature and didn't really understand it-- but it was the most boring film I've ever seen in the cinema.

A few years later I watched Never Let me go. The atmosphere at the end was highly depressive

Star Wars Phantom Menace, by a mile. Just total crap.

I’m ancient enough to have seen the original three SW films when they were released so I was looking forward to the prequels. By half an hour into Phantom Menace, I realised that it was a kids’ film, and a very, very bad one. It’s still the only film I have ever walked out of after paying to watch it.

Evolution it was pretty awful and still sticks in my minds all these years later

Jeepers Creepers. I was so annoyed when you saw the thing that was chasing them in the creepy van! Would have left but was on a date. Turned out he hated it too!

Velvian · 07/01/2022 19:09

Blade 2 (I walked out) and Pirates of the Caribbean 3.

FourTeaFallOut · 07/01/2022 19:09

I give you, 'Godzilla: King of the Monsters'

That Mrs Parker film in the 90s. It was irritating as hell and my boyfriend at the time obviously bought us tickets as he fancied Jennifer Jason Leigh and she got her tits out at every opportunity. Grim

BalladOfBarryAndFreda · 07/01/2022 19:10

Horrible Bosses. Absolute shite, walked out after 10 minutes

BringBackCoffeeCreams · 07/01/2022 19:10

Mars Attacks

At one point somebody starting laughing and others turned and asked what he found funny about it. Nothing apparantly he was laughing at something he was thinking about that happened in the foyer.

Burn after reading and the artist (think that's what's it called, the silent film). Thank God for the talkies.

Kilpitlees · 07/01/2022 19:11

Hop. I never thought it would end.

Unavailableusername · 07/01/2022 19:11

Gangs of New York
Moulin Rouge

These are the only two films I've walked out before the end of. They just weren't my cup of tea.

@MsTSwift

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy - lots of middle aged men in dark rain coats whispering. I felt like crying with boredom.

The Royal Tenaumbaums “ooh aren’t we quirky” no just bloody annoying

Corn brothers films the one with a man with an awful haircut going round killing people with a fire extinguisher. The Corn brothers obviously think a lot of themselves - emperors new clothes imo.

Feel better for that rant!

Oh god, no country for old men - that was a horrible film. My DP still joke about that haircut!

I like the Royal Tennenbaums a lot though.

I am embarrassed to say that I walked out of a screening of Blue Velvet - I was with my (younger) brother and he was just squirming in awkwardness at it all.

I know she won her Oscar for it but I walked out of The Favourite. I thought it was so dull, and generally speaking I love period dramas.

A.I (it stood for artificial intelligence)

MsTSwift · 07/01/2022 19:13

Yes auto correct changes coen to corn well spotted 🙄🙄

They are shite though.

BalladOfBarryAndFreda · 07/01/2022 19:13

I loved Tennenbaums & Tinker Tailor. I generally like Cohen Bros too [shrug]

PruGnu · 07/01/2022 19:13

La La Land. Went with my mum and we came out going through the the wtf did we just sit through motions as did everyone around us. Such a disappointment.

MsTSwift · 07/01/2022 19:13

What annoys me is everyone else thinks they are marvellous.

WobblyLondoner · 07/01/2022 19:13

I wish I'd walked out of the war of roses - Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas. Dreadful film.

ForestDad · 07/01/2022 19:14

Save the last dance. I laughed out loud at the clichéd end scene where the gang bangers' car blows up but the hero isn't there because he's chosen to go dancing with the heroine instead of a drive by shooting. (Spoiler alert).

HeronLanyon · 07/01/2022 19:14

O e walked out of films before but I’m struggling to remember what - I’ve obviously blanked them from my mind they were so awful.

merryhouse · 07/01/2022 19:14

I don't go to the cinema much, so over half the films mentioned I haven't actually seen. (Watched Star Trek quite recently though - good god who thought it was a good idea to spend 20 minutes gently circling the ship in dock?)

Worst I've seen in the cinema was Shazam. We all came out going "that was Really Bad" and have been surprised by its generally positive reception Grin

Apart from that, Woody Allen's September.

I had spent some months watching a WA season on BBC2, and assumed it would be more of the same. Perfect for a first date! (My first ever date, too, and I'd done the asking.) Unfortunately I hadn't realised that Woody was attempting to be taken Srsly as a Srs Drctr. Also unfortunately, it didn't occur to me that I could have suggested to my date that we leave and go to the pub instead...

If it hadn't been for that, September would have been a bit of an arty vaguely interesting film about people and relationships which I wouldn't ever bother recommending to anyone. As it was, it was definitely The Worst Cinematic Experience Of My Life.

(La la land was dreadful. So glad we didn't waste a cinema trip on it.)

A wrinkle in time

Cats closely followed by The Piano
