desray Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 I only did once ( so far). That movie was so horrendous that I can't believe I'm watching it...that's The Monkey King starring Aaron kwok and Donnie Yen. I thought Donnie Yen's portrayal as the Monkey God will be great but alas this turned out to be a total flop...I walked out in the 2nd or 3rd act. Complete utter rubbish. Sent from my Tapatalk Pro
YANG Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 AhTiong financed production, made to AhTiong and Westerners"ohhs ahhs" taste, what to expedect?
westendboy Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 Walk out, no, sleep through huge portions of it, yes. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows, Part II was a snooze
Horchai Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 Walked out of the recent Lion King. The slow pacing, endless singing and lots of children in the cinema providing comments or crying made it worse. Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk
dsj88 Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 Guardians of the Galaxy II. Walked out after 1/2 hour. Nonsensical crap.
desray Posted January 1, 2020 Author Posted January 1, 2020 Walk out, no, sleep through huge portions of it, yes. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows, Part II was a snooze Haha...same here. A lot of "sleep-through" movies for me as well. But only 1 movie that I literally walked out. The CGI is atrocious and clearly Donnie Yen's portrayal as the Monkey God just didn't live up to my expectations. Maybe too much "journey to the west" themed fatigue sets in back then.
desray Posted January 1, 2020 Author Posted January 1, 2020 Guardians of the Galaxy II. Walked out after 1/2 hour. Nonsensical crap. Oh...Guardians Part II for me quite okay leh...though the plot kinda cheesy no doubt. :P

Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk Lion King when released in the theatre, I didn't even bother to go and watch it as the animation is too "life-like"...sometimes animation is much better because of the comical facial expressions of those animals...but you can't tell Simba whether he was happy, angry, sad etc...all those emotional moments simply does not translate well into this beloved Disney property. I guess some animation properties are best left untouched. Heard the Lady and the Tramp is coming up...

Of cos I didnt catch it either. Haha. Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk

Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk This trend of life like CGI in movie originated from Jungle book. It seems like whatever Director Jon Favreau touched, the film turned to gold. Look at Star Wars Maladorian series in Disney + which receives a lot praises from fans and viewers around the world. Back to a jungle book, the first time people saw how realistic the CGI on animals look, everyone jumped on it. But look at Jungle Book 2 directed by Andy Serkis which did not receive well by the movie goers went straight to Netflix. Just like Cloverfield Paradox. I think movie goers these days wanted good story line instead of remakes from Disney classics. From human driven characters like cinderella, Snow White, to Aladdin and now to animated characters.

Chowbotak Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 Never walked out of any movies as I don't watch movies alone. Slept in many kids movies as a dad with kid and even movies like Star Wars, Braveheart. The rest I cunt even remember the movie titles
jeromelang Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 Bugis street was so bad I walked out. Natural Born Killers was so good so enjoyable when i realised how much a thrill i was getting seeing people cut down like meat i had to go off. Was in a trance for couple of hours after leaving the theatre...

The rest I cunt even remember the movie titles Me too, slept during the show most of time while my kids watched.
xiao_vin Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 the only movie i walked out is Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life. This movie won Palme d'OR & nominated for Academy Awards Best Picture. it is complete crap to me
YANG Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Terrence Malik's films tends to be very "elaborate" on characters... So... Some kind of patience is required.
desray Posted January 13, 2020 Author Posted January 13, 2020 In 2020...I hope no movie will make me walk out halfway.
YANG Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Then u should avoid films directed not only Terrence Malik, but also Edward Zwick as well as ...perhaps Clint Eastwood.
Audio Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 ....huh? How could anyone walk out on a Clint Eastwood movie?? (Audio)
YANG Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Got a few lah... My colleague cannot tahan FLAG of OUR FATHERS, Bridge of Madison County... both he said was a waste of his Clint Eastwood $$$... I never seen the last one, as well as Jersey Boys, Gran Tourismo as well as The Mule, but i certainly see(to some impatient folks), to get adrenaline pump from FooF, one have to sit his butt thru the film roughly 70mins then can feel the excitement.
Audio Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 We walked out of the cinema only once. It was in the 80s at Westwood Los Angeles. We were there to watch Pink Floyd "The Wall". Great theater, you choose your seat.....whole theater was almost empty on a weekday afternoon...no more than 10 persons in this vast space meant for hundreds. Fantastic sound system....unbearably loud and clean!!! The portrayal of violence and blood was too much for my wife.... though I was having a whale of a time listening to "The Wall" this loud with the awesome graphics painting alternative visions I had in my mind listening to the album. A good example was "Goodbye Blue Sky" where that gigantic metal bird soaring menacingly over the sky....wow!! We walked out during "The Happiest Days Of Our Lives" - (You!, Yes, you! Stand still laddy!!) proceeding into "Another Brick In The Wall Part 2"......faceless children singing "We don't Need No Education......." Sad, huh?....but no choice, wife's face was beginning to pale.....LOL (Audio)

Flags of Our Father, cannot remember.....Letters From Iwo Jima, nice......Jersey Boys was very good, Gran Tourimo was attention grabber enough and I love the Mule, I didn't know it was a Clint Eastwood movie until I saw it. (Audio)
YANG Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 Mystic River if not played by Sean Penn... could be draggy as well.
Jagdpanzer Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 ....huh? How could anyone walk out on a Clint Eastwood movie?? (Audio) I wonder what kind of movie buff walk out of Clint Eastwood movies !!?? He/she must be damn boring
Jagdpanzer Posted January 14, 2020 Posted January 14, 2020 I walked out from From Vegas to Macau.. star studded cast including Chow Yuen Fatt, Carina Lau, Steven Chow and Tony Leung. Waste of talent to act in such slapstick Guardian of Galaxy Part 2 - I walked out after the intro song from ELO ended or 10 minutes after the show started.
