Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

For me it was Lincoln and The Hate U Give. I gave the movies a chance but 30 mins in I just wasn't feeling them. I think for THUG it was a secret showing at a cinema and I'd gone in with the expectation of an action/comedy movie so may not have been in the right frame of mind.
Tangentially: I once saw Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter since the film I wanted to see was sold out. Holy shit, I've never been so impressed by a film. Sometimes having zero expectations really does boost the enjoyability.
Boogie Nights, my wife had enough of it and insisted on leaving.
I wanted to leave the art film "Burnt By the Sun" but ended up apologizing to my date (she liked arty films too). We both agreed it was so bad it was almost amusing.
Key and Peeles “Us” was atrocious I tried to stick it out thinking it would get better but.. walked out.
Not a theater walkout, but... We just tried to watch "Legend" with Tom Cruise, Mia Sara, Tim Curry, and directed by Ridley Scott. It was so jarring, shockingly bad we couldn't last past the 15 minute mark. The writing, the acting, the direction, the music (with bombastic synth stabs), and really terrible editorial/audio fx choices. Also, there is so many feathers just floating around. Honestly, I love b-movie fantasies (Krulletc) but this thing takes itself so seriously and is so cringingly bad we just couldn't get through it.
~~Atlas Shrugged,~~ Cloud Atlas, I think the one with Tom Hanks. Thought it might be an interesting movie because of the title and Tom Hanks, but I could tell within the first five minutes it was nothing but propaganda. I saw a couple other people leaving along with me.
