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

The Thin Red Line. I think its purpose was to convey the boredom of war. I was 14, and didn’t want to leave the cinema in case something happened.

Is that the one where most of the actors look the same? If so I agree. I seem to remember falling asleep much to DH's annoyance.

Cool World - the only movie I have ever walked out of.

Highlander 3 - almost the second movie I walked out of but I wanted to know about one of the songs used (and this was somewhat before imdb) so I gritted my teeth and stayed to the end.

Suicide Squad. Turns out the trailer showed the only good bits in the movie, and I would have been better off just watching that.

The aviator. Plus it was on for about 7 hours

FelicityPike · 07/01/2022 20:13

Down Periscope.
We were the only 2 in the theatre.

Vanilla Sky, criminal waste of talent.

Sharkboy and lava girl. Abysmal tosh even for a kids film and it was in 3d which is a nightmare when you wear glasses. I was an au pair in the states and took my charges to see it, they quite liked it!

Prospero's Books. Though the first 2 minutes are an amazing multisensory assault. And then you realise it's like that all the way through.

There is one 10 second patch where it all shuts up and stops flashing and John Gielgud is allowed to say a few lines,.and that's astounding. Then it kicks off again.Confused

The Vanishing.

Quite a long time ago now - probably late 90s, and I remember going to the cinema and we couldn’t decide what to see as the film we’d gone for had sold out. This was in the days before booking online was commonplace.

Don’t remember much about the film except it was 2+ hours of tedious cobblers and at the end someone (hopefully it was the director) got buried alive.

A film with Gene Wilder and Richard Prior, Might have been See no Evil. Dh and I both fell asleep.
Then I had to take Dd to see High School musical 568 (ok 3). I dropped something and got my phone out to find it. The usher pounced on me. I looked around at the cinema full of hyper pre teens on their phones and said “are you kidding?” Stuck headphones in and went to sleep again.

My son made me watch this hundreds of times on DVD, so bad!

Bambi...
... still haunts me, and I daren't go to Richmond Park.

When the dc were young I endured many terrible cinema experiences.
Hands down the worst ever was The Flintstones. I was so bored I wanted to cry, it gave me the same feeling as double physics in high school.

Rodion · 07/01/2022 20:20

I didn't think I had one but I just remembered walking out of a weird film with Nicole Kidman and a young boy naked in the bath together. Couldn't remember what it was called but Google tells me it was probably Birth. Didn't like that at all.

Exhausteddog · 07/01/2022 20:21

I walked out of a Harrison Ford film that I couldn't really understand but I can't even remember what it was Blush
The worst film I've actually endured was the lego batman movie. I was somehow coerced into going when it was meant to be DH with DS. I was quite amazed there were several couples without kids there!

scooterbear · 07/01/2022 20:22

Vanilla sky. Long. Pretentious. Went to see it with my then 79 year old dad who audibly snorted when it started raining frogs.

Double impact with Jean Claude Van Damme in 1991. My best friend and I were on our first holiday without parents in Newquay. We were 16 and thought going to the midnight showing was really cool - worst film ever!! Felt like 4 hours.

HipposHaveNipples · 07/01/2022 20:24

Mother and The Witch. Both an absolute load of wank.

Rodion · 07/01/2022 20:26

Oh also The Imagination of Dr Parnassus. It went on and on and seemed like the sort of long boring contrived story a child makes up "then this happened so they X, and then this happened but y magically happened to fix it just in time, then SURPRISE this next thing happened". Annoyingly it was me that liked the look of it from the trailer and gathered a group to go and see it, so I couldn't even leave!

mumwon · 07/01/2022 20:28

The HIlls have eyes
I don't even like horror movies it was gross - I was out with a group so I was stuck

I'm ashamed to say I was slightly obsessed with that film as a young teen and watched it over and over again. I don't really remember why!? I must watch it again to find out what fascinated me so much...

WestendVBroadway · 07/01/2022 20:28

The first Barry Trotter film, oh sorry Harry Potter . Unfortunately the sequels did not improve at all.

KezzabellaB · 07/01/2022 20:30

Lucy with Scarlett Johansson. Me and DH waited ages for it to come out, really looked forward to seeing it. Then when we did, it was utter shite. Honestly we felt robbed!! Grin

StormyCornishSeas · 07/01/2022 20:30

Lovewrecked (So bad it doesn't warrant a space between Love & Wrecked ) . Nothing else to do on a wet day on a Great British Camping Holiday. Would have walked out otherwise

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 07/01/2022 20:31

Oh and time to wheel out my Atonement story. We’d gone for my birthday. My mate (who has the attention span of a gnat) squirmed and huffed then went to the loo when James McAvoy is dying and Keira is looking wistfully through a window (there was a dead fly involved too). She came back and said in a stage whisper “Is he not fucking dead yet?” Whole cinema cracked up.
