    "I should have walked out of the theater. I was very tempted but I didn't. Other people did, though. I couldn't tell you what was so bad about it though because I blocked it from memory. All I know is that it was terrible and horribly unfunny."

    2. Blair Witch Project

    Artisan Entertainment

    "Three college students lost in the woods, yet any Boy Scout can tell you to follow a river or stream and you will come to homes or a village since people usually live near water. ... Also, two grown men who are afraid of taking the damned map from the 5-foot-tall woman because she said so?"

    3. Freddy Got Fingered

    "I made it to the part where Tom Green swings an infant around by its umbilical cord. At that point I decided I had had enough. What a waste of money."

    4. Pitch Perfect

    Universal Pictures

    "Any of the Pitch Perfect movies. I don’t think I could come up with a worse movie if I tried."

    —mairinshearys

    "I truly believe hell is a never-ending loop of 'Cups.'"

    5. Breaking Dawn: Part 2

    Summit Entertainment

    "I made it maybe 20–30 minutes and had to stop. [The] dialogue was horrible; bad acting, too. As soon as Bella screamed at Jacob about imprinting on her baby (weird on its own) and Kristen screamed, 'You nicknamed her after the Loch Ness Monster?' ... Oof. Major cringe. Still haven’t sat through the watched the rest."

    6. The Tree of Life

    "It was the worst movie I've ever seen. I was looking forward to watching Sean Penn and Brad Pitt. I never got to them. The movie started with weird whispering and then I watched an hour of pictures about space, the Big Bang, and dinosaurs before we turned it off. What on Earth was that? Awful."

    7. Neighbors

    Universal Pictures

    "I love Seth Rogan movies. My husband loves any dumb comedy. You'd think it be a good fit? Nope. We both wanted to turn it off halfway through. Dumb AF."

    —thekellykid

    8. Bridesmaids

    Universal Pictures

    "I think I'm the only person who finds it annoying and unfunny."

    —shellbellgibbo80

    "I watched it several months after it came out and honestly, I think everyone overhyped it. I thought I’d be laughing my ass off. The food poisoning scene is the only one that made me laugh. Otherwise it was meh!"

    —doinfthings

    9. Assassin's Creed

    "I realized 15 minutes in that I didn't care, nor did I remember what was going on in those 15 minutes."

    —mkjono

    "I love the games but this movie was a mess start to finish. [It was] all over the place with the story. ... Out of the five of us that went, only I stayed awake for the whole thing. Such a disappointment."

    —rachaelhutcherson

    10. Risky Business

    Warner Bros.

    "I love '80s movies and I’d heard so many good things about it; so with all this time, I figured I’d finally sit down and watch it. I just couldn’t sit through it. A boring plot and too sexual for me to genuinely enjoy."

    —dolphin4158

    11. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales

    "What a letdown. We switched off after 50 minutes. The dialogue was like a cringey first draft. To say Johnny Depp was phoning it in would be too kind to him. The first Pirates movie was so, so good: fresh, innovative, and funny. This was truly the bottom of the barrel. I googled how it ended because I truly did not want to put myself through any more."

    —superrockstar67

    12. Into the Woods

    Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures

    "I remember going to see Into the Woods in theaters, and my sister and her husband walked out halfway through. I almost did the same thing. I don’t think i had ever been so bored watching a Disney movie."

    —hannahlouthan

    13. A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)

    "I was personally offended by the Nightmare on Elm Street remake. I sat through it, but it was only because I paid for the ticket so I was going to watch it."

    —sweetdmarie686

    "I try to give movie remakes a fair chance. I recently watched the new Child’s Play — nowhere near as good as the original, but I liked the new concept. So I tried to watch the new Nightmare on Elm Street recently but gave up after 20 mins. Jackie Earle Haley is a good actor but his Freddie voice just really wasn’t working for me. It actually pissed me off!"

    14. The Master of Disguise

    "That awful movie with Dana Carvey where he's a spy. We were in the theater and about a third of the way through the movie, my little boy looked up at me and said, 'Mommy, can we go now?' I was SO glad he said that! We left right away."

    —wallacebigsby

    "Master of Disguise! Oh my word, that film was terrible."

    —katkat007

    15. RoboCop (2014)

    "I went to the cinema because friends wanted to see it, and it was so bad. ... I got so angry as they tried to turn it in the end to sell it as some weird anti-violence movie. Dude, I just watched you kill random people for two hours straight and you're not even a little sorry. That message doesn't work here."

    —helenawenk

    16. When in Rome

    Walt Disney StudiosMotion Pictures

    "The only time I have ever left a theater was for When in Rome. I LOVE Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard, but this movie was so bad. What were they thinking?"

    —joelledooley

    17. American Made

    "American Made was so horrible. It had no interesting plot, horrible acting, [and] looked like it was shot on a cellphone and the actors didn’t know they were being filmed. I saw it in theaters with my parents so I couldn’t leave, but I wished I could ask. I even tried taking a nap during it. That movie is so bad."

    —literally_nobody

    18. Event Horizon

    "I walked out because it was so corny and bad. Years and years later, someone mentioned it and I said it hated it so much I walked out. And everyone went wild about how great it was and [how] they couldn’t believe I didn’t like that trash movie. ... It became a really annoying and unfunny running joke about how much I dislike it. I tried to watch it again to see if my opinion would change but nope, still dogshit."

    —audreyt4fe9df5f9

    19. Borat

    20th Century Fox

    "In middle school, my dad took me to see Borat. We left the theater when they were naked fighting over the magazine on the hotel bed. Awkward."

    —abutton1

    "Borat is just embarrassment humor. Twenty minutes was enough."

    —dannyh42f90bcf3

    20. Superbad

    Sony Pictures Releasing

    "I just can't with Jonah Hill's character and all the dick jokes and hooking up with women way out of their league. It just bothers me he is such a douchebag and treats everyone poorly yet he still feels entitled to sex, because he is neither an attractive nor a nice person."

    —toribioernestos

    21. MacGruber

    "That scene where he stuck the celery up his butt was just too much for me. It was just so dumb."

    —kaseym4e463bc93

    22. Meet the Spartans

    20th Century Fox

    "We walked out of Meet the Spartans when had eaten our ice creams. As we got up, about half the cinema were getting up too. How did that film ever get made???"

    23. Murder by Death

    "I’m a playwright, I love Neil Simon (who wrote the screenplay), and it was recommended to me by a friend who said it was better than CLUE (my favorite film ever). NOPE. Not only does Peter Sellers (who most assuredly is not Chinese) play a Chinese character, but it was also the most boring murder mystery I’ve ever had the misfortune of sitting through. I turned it off an hour in, then looked up the ending online. No regrets."

    —katkat007

    24. The Hunger Games

    Lionsgate

    "I’ve tried to watch it three times but it’s just so bad. There’s nothing keeping you glued to the screen. Once they’re fighting, I fought to keep my attention. Then, I just gave up. And apparently there’s many, many sequels. I don’t know how when the first one can’t even be watched in its entirety."

    —shahilj

    25. Iron Man 2

    Marvel

    "Iron Man 2 is an insufferable slog. One and three are fine. But two? I got about 30 minutes in and just stopped."

    —andread14

    26. Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle

    "I love comedies. I love smoking weed. I hated how dumb this movie was. When they started to ride the tiger, I started walking out of the theater."

    27. And finally...Green Lantern
