Worst movie ever. Hilariously bad. Most of the theatre walked out.

Very few. Mostly at film festivals, where I think my time could be better spent at some different screening.

"Rabbit Pix", an esoteric Italian film about naked teenagers living together in a house and eating breakfast.
"Boarding Gate", an excruciatingly slow crime drama with Michael Madsen and Asia Argento.
"At Ellen's Age", an incredibly arduous German film about a flight attendant who joins a militant vegan group. I actually walked out during what I thought was the final scene (I'd miscalculated and had a screening that was about to start at another room), but later found out it went on for another 40 minutes.

Ah, just thought of another one: "L.A. Zombie." It was literally gay zombie porn. I blame myself for this. The signs couldn't have been clearer. I don't know what I expected.

I'm gonna get slayed for this, but the only movie I've ever walked out on was Patriot Games.

The only movie I've walked out on was Dave Chapelle's Block Party.

was it because you had read the book and were disappointed in the changes? Or just because you didnt like the movie?

Finally saw the last 30 minutes of Avengers tonight.

I would have appreciated it a lot if you all had let me know that it was actually a little worse than the middle section of the movie.

I've never walked out of a movie, but the one movie during which I actually fell asleep in the theater was "Star Wars: Attack of the Clones."

This was kind of a warning. Wasn't it?

Pretty made for TV, but it could have been worse. It could have had Samuel L Jackson hopping out of a crashing helicopter like it was the lowest rung of the ladder to a playground slide.

Yeah, I kind of don't understand the hype and good reviews this movie got. It seemed like standard comic book fare to me. The characters were paper thin. The acting was just terrible. Scarlett Johansson was especially bad and Samuel L. Jackson was cringe worthy. The action sequences were pretty top-notch, but seemed a little jumbled in places. I must admit that I'm not a big comic book or action movie fan, but that hasn't stopped me from enjoying the hell out of The Dark Knight series and the first two X-Men films.

I don't believe that you didn't see the last 30 minutes of the film. Back when it came out and you made your largely-complimentary remarks on it, before you decided to play up your disdain for it, you referenced things that happened at the very end of the movie.
And if you're referring to the final scenes ("the whole world knows it... every world knows it"), it's no more over-the-top grandiose than Gordon's silly speech at the end of The Dark Knight.

this was surprisingly funnier than I ever could have assumed.
