I thought Deathproof got bad reviews and planet terror got OK reviews. Enjoyed the two of them and actually thought Deathproof was the better of the two.

i totally agree with you here! death proof is a love it or hate it movie so im not surprised it was mentioned here, i loved it tho!

only film ive ever actually looked towards the exit door for escape was BOOGIEMAN. i remember asking my OH if i had been asleep halfway through it cos it was so badly thrown together i must have missed something of a plot.

if i had been sober watching Circle of Friends with one of my teenage GFs, i would def have walked out of that.

usually check out reviews / pick out movies that i want to see before i commit to a trip to the cinema. never paying (free passes) does help soften the blow when the movie turns out to be sh!te though

I have only ever wanted to walk out of one film, Revenge Of The Sith.

Wow ROTS was head and shoulders above Episodes 1 & 2. It was the only one out of those 3 that I didn't feel like walking out on!

best cinema experiences i have is when i bum of collge to go to the big cinema opposite ilac... its usually empty and ive a great experience.

seeing 3:10 to yuma by myself i nthe cinema springs to mind, and it was out only a week, but maybe 12 is too early for some

While it's rarely packed except at peak times, it's has it's fair share of trouble. The latest craze is to text throughout the film. Ok, no noise but it's ****ing distracting being in a dark cinema and seeing a mobile phone flashing constantly:mad:

I hear ya on being in the cinema on your own. I went to Gladiator years back and was the only one in a massive screen. Felt like a king!

have yet to walk out of film due to hating it - actually more likely to stay so when someone tells me how great it is I can argue with them. Did leave the matrix due to feeling sick but I'd already seen it twice at that point Also left Undisputed after 20 mins due to the cinema being full of mice [seriously loads of them running around] and my friends getting freaked out.

Thats disgusting. I'm sure they were after paying their way in to enjoy a night at the flicks too, no need for that behaviour at all

The League of Gentlemen's Apocalyspe remains the only film I have ever walked out. A truly deplorable film. We walked out near the end as it just wasn't anything approaching funny.

I have seen worse films in the cinema, but generally I will sit through whatever I go to see though. Its just a matter of not going to see really **** films anymore.

I walked out of "The Good Sheppard" (Robert Di Niro/Angelina Jolie)

As if the film wasn't dragging enough, they decided to have an "Intermission".

I seized on the opportunity and absconded.

I saw Infernal Affairs in the cinema a few years ago. A bunch of skangers came in, probably sneaking in from another film just finishing. They sat through the crappy adds and trailers and as soon as the subtitles came up they left. It was the funniest thing I ever saw at the time.

Man I wish I'd walked out of that one. There's a few hours I'd like back. No regrets going to see it, so many stars, so much promise etc. So much suck in the end though.
