Today I'm sharing with you the movies that made me walk out of a theater, and it will shock you.

 

Recently, Stephen King took to Twitter and revealed that the only movie he's walked out of (as an adult) is Transformers.

@StephenKing

He then wondered what movies other people have walked out of? So, we posed the question to our BuzzFeed Community, and their responses were kinda surprising:

Note: This article contains mentions of sexual assault.

1. Crash (1996)

"This is a movie about people who fetishize CAR CRASHES. Yup, they are turned on by looking at injured, suffering, bleeding people trapped in smashed-up cars, lying on the street, etc. So, yeah...the movie involves these sick puppies searching for crashes and literally having sex with each other while watching/driving through or even causing car crashes, and then there's a scene with injured people in back braces, and I left the theater then because nope."

2. Fantastic Four (2015)

"The movie spent way too long character-building, and it made the characters uninteresting. Then the big showdown with Dr. Doom felt rushed and forced. I couldn't make it to the end."

3. Red Sparrow (2018)

"I thought it was gonna be a cool story about a girl becoming a spy, and instead, people are being very graphically sexually assaulted."

4. Magnolia (1999)

"My friend and I were just confused and unsettled by the whole thing. I keep thinking I should give it another shot, but part of me thinks it’s better left alone."

5. Epic Movie (2007)

"We saw it in high school just because we were bored, and even though we had spent our own money on it, we walked out. I cannot explain how bad that movie is or how it ever got made. It makes Twilight look like high art."

6. Hunger (2008)

"I tried watching it at home, but it took me three tries. There was so much literal shit everywhere...on themselves, on the wall of their cells...my gag reflex just couldn't take it."

7. What Women Want (2000)

"It's the only movie I have ever walked out of the cinema part way through. It started off quite funny and then turned into this snooze fest romantic pile of blurgh. Looked at my fella, and he looked just as bored, so we left."

8. La La Land (2016)

"My friend and I walked out of it. I know it got a bunch of praise, but oh my god was it boooooring. We tried for what felt like a long time, and when we looked at each other, we both were like, 'Do you wanna leave, too?'"

9. Borat (2006)

"My husband will pretty much watch anything, from terrible '80s action movies to Oscar-winning documentaries to cheesy rom-coms. He’s chill and easy to please. The only movie he ever walked out on? Borat. He still can’t place exactly why, but he loathes Borat to this day. Likes other Sacha Baron Cohen stuff, too!"

10. 12 Years a Slave (2013)

"Halfway through the movie, I mentally and emotionally couldn’t handle it anymore. I never finished the movie, and I never will. Period!"

11. Troy (2004)

"It wasn't because it is exceptionally bad (it's not great either), but I was in college when I saw it. I studied history and was, at the time, in a class that studied the Iliad. I was so mad! So mad!!! It made no sense and changed so much, that I literally screamed at the movie theater that it was bull****. This movie made me later appreciate Oliver Stone's Alexander for being semi-historically accurate (helped me put faces on Alexander's Diadochi — generals, and memorize them easier)."

12. The Call of the Wild (2020)

"The book is incredible; one of my favorites. The movie strikes me as having been written by someone who SparkNoted the SparkNotes page for the book and has never seen so much as a photo of Alaska. The storyline was a far cry from the original, and don’t even get me started on the scene where for some incomprehensible reason someone put a wild boar in the Alaskan wilderness. The whole movie just seemed like a really lazy adaptation of the book. It’s been a year or two, and I’m still salty."

13. Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters (2007)

"I hate to say this because I loved the show: I couldn't finish the Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie. It was so bad, but my friends didn't want to leave. So I just took a nap. When I woke up, I had NO IDEA how the plot got to where it was."

14. Beauty and the Beast (2017)

"The Beauty and the Beast live-action remake was just awful and so, SO dull. My boyfriend and I left because we were just so bored!"

15. The Love Guru (2008)

"Can’t remember how long my friend and I lasted, but it certainly wasn’t until the end. I still don’t even know what it’s about lol."

16. The Master of Disguise (2002)

"I love Dana Carvey, really and truly, but what a steaming turd of a movie. It has been, to DATE, the only movie that I have ever walked out of."

17. Captain America: The First Avenger (2011)

"What a gigantic snooze fest. Sorry, Chris; I adore you and think you’re a great actor. This script was so CLUNKY."

18. Armageddon (1998)

"Liv Tyler and Ben Affleck gave their most wooden performances in that film, and that is saying something."

19. Into the Woods (2014)

"God, that was boring. Every song sounded the same! Great cast, but that can't save a boring script."

20. Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (2010)

"It was just actually insulting how little they tried."

21. Les Misérables (2012)

"A friend wanted to see it for their birthday, but fairly early on, we all kind of were looking at one another like 'Wtf?' and 'Should we go? This is bad right?' Anne Hathaway crushed that one song, but otherwise, that movie was hot garbage."

22. District 9 (2009)

"The found-footage concept is cool, but on such a large screen, it made me and my mom both feel nauseous. If I recall correctly, we only stayed about 20 minutes."

23. Balls of Fury (2007)

"It is the only movie my husband and I have ever walked out on. Sure, it's supposed to be ridiculous; we can handle ridiculous, but this was completely insufferable! No. Too crass and terrible."

24. Friday Night Lights (2004)

"The shaky camera made my husband, who was having chemo, and then me, queasy; we both threw up. We did get a refund."

25. Dude, Where's My Car? (2000)

"I lasted 30 minutes. I was even stoned, so it all should’ve worked in concept, but that movie is just tooooo dumb."

26. Father Stu (2022)

"Such a bore. It started out really slow and was hard to follow, but I gave it the benefit and thought that it would get better as it went on, but it never did. Only movie I’ve ever walked out on."

27. Cats (2019)

"Some friends and I realized the cursed Cats movie was playing at the same theater as a movie we wanted to see, so after ours was finished, we popped into the Cats room out of morbid curiosity. We caught about two and a half musical numbers, and they were oddly hilarious but terrifying. The movie was nearly over, but we didn’t stick around to see what happened with those creepy-ass creatures."

28. Thumbelina (1994)

"I went to see it with my sister and a friend, but we kept leaving the theater to play the video games upstairs. We eventually left the theater altogether and went home. If an animated movie can’t keep kids’ attention, that is not good."

29. 10,000 BC (2008)

"A $105 million budget, and I couldn’t get more than 30 minutes into the movie. It was so slow, the acting and directing were subpar, and the art was not nearly as immersive as necessary for this sort of epic. I love Steven Strait and Roland Emmerich, but it just didn’t work."

30. The Master (2012)

"It was so boring, and I wanted to like it. I got to the point where I just didn’t care about what happened and just got up and left. Still have no idea how that ended and can’t believe it got so many Oscar nominations."

31. Hellboy (2019)

"I’ve never walked out of a movie, but I should have with the new Hellboy. There were a lot of good actors in it, but it has to be the worst movie I’ve ever seen."

32. Dead Ringers (1988)

"It was 1988, and my friend and I couldn't take it even after the beers we consumed in the theater."

33. And Bug (2006), which someone WISH they'd walked out of.

"I will always regret not walking out of Bug. Worst movie I have ever seen, and it still holds true all these years later."

’No guarantee’: Hamilton drops F1 bombshell after history-making victory Lewis Hamilton is just one win away from another world championship. Source:  AFP Lewis Hamilton stunned Formula One on Sunday when, hours after winning the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, he admitted that he did not know if he would still be in the sport next season. Speaking during a post-race news conference, the six-time world champion told reporters there was “no guarantee” that he would continue and added that “there’s a lot that excites me with the after-life - time will tell!” Hamilton’s victory, a record-extending 93rd of his career, in Sunday’s race clinched Mercedes’ record seventh consecutive constructors title - an achievement he attributed to the team’s “unsung heroes” and the leadership of team boss Toto Wolff. Both men are out of contract at the end of this season and, for that reason, the subjects of much speculation. Watch the 2020 FIA Formula One World Championship™ on KAYO. Every practice, qualifyin

LA Rams LT Andrew Whitworth playing younger as time goes on Despite his status as one of the oldest NFL offensive lineman, LA Rams left tackle Andrew Whitworth is playing like he’s in his prime The LA Rams  brought back venerable offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth for another three-year run with the team as the starting left tackle. As the offseason began,  we  explored what options did the Rams truly have for their left tackle  position.  We concluded that, for better or worse, the Rams had no alternative. They had to bring back Whitworth. Of course, when a player is nearly 39 years old and at one of the most physically demanding positions of the NFL, you would expect age to impact performance somewhat. And yes, it has. Perhaps not in the way you might expect, though.  You see, after six games, Whitworth is performing at one of the best levels of his lengthy career. With a little help from his friends Per Pro Football Focus, he is the best offensive tackle in the NFL. And for all inten

  Last month, Britney Spears finally married Sam Asghari in  an intimate ceremony  at their Thousand Oaks home after almost six years together. Instagram: @britneyspears The pair first met in October 2016, when Sam was cast as Britney’s love interest in the music video for her single “Slumber Party,” which was filmed in a Beverly Hills mansion. Colin Tilley ADVERTISEMENT Britney made their relationship Instagram official in January the following year, when she shared a photo of herself having dinner with Sam on New Year’s Day. Instagram: @https://www.instagram.com/britneyspears/?hl=en And Sam has previously shed some light on his and Britney’s first meeting and how their romance came to be, admitting to  Men’s Health  in July 2018 that he “had butterflies” before he met the pop star. Colin Tilley “She said, ‘Hi, I’m Britney,’ and I said, ‘I’m sorry, what’s your name again?’” he said at the time. “I tried to be funny. I don’t think anybody got it.” Vivien Killilea / Getty Images for GLA

Colorado Rapids • Seattle Sounders Football Club • American Professional Football League

Three questions: Sounders at Rapids Max Aquino / Sounder at Heart The 2020 MLS regular season has been a roller coaster for the  Colorado Rapids,  having had five straight matches cancelled because of a COVID-19 outbreak. I talked with Abbie from the Burgundy Wave to get a sense of what’s going on ahead of the match with the  Seattle Sounders . Sounder at Heart:  So, this is a really weird season for the  Rapids . What’s it been like being a fan during this roller coaster? Burgundy Wave:  It’s been a tough season for Rapids fans. We came into 2020 with a lot of hope after  Robin Fraser  took over last season and they started with a road win and a home win, which was great. Then the MLS is Back Tournament happened and they struggled to get going again, which really shook everyone’s confidence. Getting a big (first) win in Sandy against RSL and bringing home the Rocky Mountain Cup was huge and right as the Rapids were picking up momentum, the COVID-19 outbreak ran through the club. But n

Juan Karita/AP Socialists in Bolivia are celebrating a historic victory after a candidate handpicked by their ousted leader, Evo Morales, was on course to win the country's most important presidential election in a generation. Luis Arce — a former economy minister during the Morales era — is poised to be officially confirmed as the winner after his main rival conceded, even before the official count from Sunday's election was complete. Hours earlier, Morales, who is in exile in Argentina, announced what he calle
