What are some movie's that you watched in the theater but weren't really getting into? So much so that eventually there comes a part or scene in the film that is so stupid, offensive, unfunny etc. where you just give up on it...your "done" moment?

Here's what I mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0iiNJAbxhI

Explain your done moment, first the movie then the actual scene where you (at least mentally) go, "Done!" and consider walking out...

The most recent one for me was when I saw Happy Feet and the penguin voiced by Hugh Jackman says to his son, "You ain't a penguin unless you can sing..." :whatever:

I was already iffy about the film to begin with but my niece and cousin wanted to see it...

"DONE!" :walks out:

You?
 
For me it was during Mortal Kombat Annihilation when they start traveling in those American Gladiator balls. I was like 10 years old when I saw it in theaters and even back then I thought it sucked.
 
For me, I could take all the crap in 'The Punisher', including his miraculous recovery from multiple shots in the chest, coming out of secrecy to the media, fighting el mariachi, hatching a dastardly plan involving a water hydrant and a henchman's alternative lifestyle (shock! horror!), but the car park scene with the flaming skull (made up of cars) was the straw that broke the camel's back...
 
i was actually sort of enjoying Jeepers Creepers, until they run over the creeper with their car, and huge ass wings pop out of his back. i was done.
 
I have never walked out on a movie or felt the need for a done moment, i normally stick it out until the end.
 
I've never walked out, though it has slipped in my mind couple of times...

Kummelin Jackpot. This was a third movie by a popular Finnish sketch group Kummeli. I really enjoyed their tv-show's (Kummeli and Mankeli) and their first movie Kummeli Stories was good. Second movie Kummeli kultakuume is one of the best comedies I've ever seen. So I was expecting much from Jackpot. Unfortunately it was very dissapointing. I think I laughed once. The fact that I haven't slept at all the previous night and the screening was at 10:00 am had something to do it. I just wanted to go home and sleep. I was tired, hungry, angry and it didn't help at all that the movie sucked too. I don't remember exactly what was the moment where I thought "Shait, I'm outta here.", but I didn't leave 'cause 1) I was curious to see the whole movie and 2) I paid for it.

X-Men: The Last Stand. You know, I hated this movie before it came out. The trailers and tv-spots gave me little hope that it might not suck after all. The opening of the movie was, hmm, medicore. Titles were okay. Beast in the government, umm wtf? Fast forward -> Cyke dies. Okay, I knew that, sucks to actually see it and no one seems to care. Fast forward, Xavier dies. Okay, I knew that too but I didn't wan't to believe it. After that I thought I'm leaving, but again I stayed for the same reasons I stayed for Kummelin Jackpot.

Tokyo Story. Old Japanese flick from the 50's. I didn't know it was a drama movie, nothing wrong with drama but a long boring drama movie. I thought it was some kinda yakuza/gangster flick. I should have checked first. I was fcking tired because I had gone to school 07:00 am and left there 04:00 pm and straight to the movies. I fell asleep couple of times during the movie. I wanted to get out, but I couldn't 'cause friend of me had asked me to come see it with him. So I just fell asleep again, and again.

(There could be few more, but I can't remember them right now.)
 
Miami vice, i thought the film should just end, and it was the hour and a half mark..and they were on a boat..and i was like..how long is this movie, and my friend was like 2 and a half hours, and i literally said "thats it" and left, went and saw clerks 2 which i loved.
 
Every five minutes of Tideland I thought "I am not enjoying this movie, I should turn it off." But I kept watching...
 
The Missing. Once some crazy indian started climbing a cliffside like a spider, I walked out. Only theatre flick i've ever walked out on.
 
LXG: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. i cant really remeber what part bu i do remeber just sitting there cussing myself about the money i could have used for beer.

There's like 3 minutes of movie after that scene.:huh:

It's so funny you say that 'cause I was just about to complain about stupid happy feet. I'm trying to watch it on dvd right now, and I wanna' puke. Why did all those critics say it was so good? Well, they are critics and live in Bizarro world, what's good is bad and vice versa.

I hate how in happy feet some of the good music they used has been runed into crap and it is a real insult. All that crap about penguins finding a heart song and the sugary sweet B.S. made me sick. I think I'd rather watch Barney.

Anything to jump on the bandwagon and make toys, that's all it is, hype it up and make an hour and a half long toy commercial.

They aren't even cute, except when they're babies, and they over do it then.

Just a very stupid movie. And it bothers me Hugh Jackman's in it, but he does do musicals, and seeing him in other stuff other than Wolverine just sucks 'cause I think he was a bad choice, he's a musical nancy boy.

So much for a real man's man tough guy.

Happy Feet sucks, and Hugh Jackman's turned into a musical nancy boy, who cried a little too much as Logan. BOO!
 
I almost walked out of Man of the Year; I've never seen such inconsistency in tone before. Or since, really.

It was the part when the female protagonist starts to have a mental breakdown in her office cafeteria, and it goes from slightly amusing to dead to somewhat disturbing. Should have walked out and saved myself an hour....
