Yeah, I can see your point. My sister had to walk out of "Passion of The Christ". I'd rather leave, get my money back or a credit to see something else. Once, I told the theater I was on call and had to leave, and could I get a credit to come back to see something else later, they said sure.
(you can't use that! ha! ha!)
I was very close to walking out on Hancock, don't know why I stayed, still mad at that!

I walked out on World Trade Center because I just couldn't handle seeing the pain and extreme suffering etc.
I wish I would have walked out on The Shawshank Redemption. That bothered me in a lot of ways too.
Usually, I will not leave a movie if it's just boring. For me to walk out, it has to be generally bothering me emotionally.
I was a big "Mission Impossible" fan when it was on TV in the late 60's. But I just couldn't follow the movie, and to my knowledge it is the only movie I have walked out on. Probably just me-I go to a couple movies a month and rent that many a month or more.
I have not been to a movie in years cause I refuse to pay the high price of a movie when you can rent it for alot cheaper . so the last movie I walked out on was forces of nature starring sandra bullock and ben affleck . I hate the price of movies now , they are just outrageous and yes I understand it is because they have to pay the stars of the movie so much but in all reality the way the economy is movie prices are just not a neccessity in my point of view . I d rather stay home and watch tv it is cheaper and i dont have to waiste gas to go see something i might not like anyway.
I didn't see it in the theater, I watched on DVD, it was pretty painful. Very moving and insightful though.

I wanted to walk out on Mission Impossible 2, but I was with my 16 year old son and he wanted to stay. (It was mostly because I was with him I wanted to leave. Didn't think some of it was good for him to see.) Also one violent part bothered me a lot.
(There are probably many movies I might have walked out on if I had been viewing them by myself.)
I can honestly say I have never walked out of a movie (unless I did in Jr. High or something but I can't remember if I did or not)...never really wanted to. My husband and I won't go see movies that are really questionable as to whether or not ONE of us will like them. I mean...I've seen some movies that I personally don't enjoy but wouldn't have walked out of them.
I must say I'm surprised at some of the movies on this list...but to each his/her own!
Not to mention that trailers and reviews can be extremely deceptive.
Especially comedies!
Has anyone else noticed that with some comedies every funny scene is in the trailer???
That just cheeses me off. I could save my $$$ and watch the trailer 10x for free instead.
