Topic: Movies you haven't been able to finish watching

Here's a new one: Clerks. - Got 15 Minutes in. I want those minutes back.

Off the top of my head, Semi-Pro, College Road Trip, Machine Girl, and Space Chimps. I saw Space Chimps on a 12-hour flight to Japan, and it was bad enough that I elected to sit there with nothing to do rather than watch that movie.

I only watched it because my dad rented it and wanted me to watch it with him... he didn't like it either.
Ninja Edit

Enter the Void is all I can think of at the moment.

Food, Inc. ...Think I might do that right now.

Contrary to what many have said in this thread, I actually really liked the Godfather. Indeed, it is long (almost too long), but if you really pay attention to the story, it is very moving and epic and is just such a masterpiece.

But, too each his own, I suppose.

One movie that I DID finish (only because I was at the theatre with my friends) but felt was quite terrible was the Social Network. Almost everybody says great things about it, but I found it to be such a boring and un-emotional film. I swear, the only character I actually felt something for was that Eduardo guy who (sadly) got screwed over by Mark so many times throughout the movie. The introductory argument of the film felt dry and too long, and it didn't help that both characters are talking way too fast to even remotely understand them. There were also scenes throughout the movie that I felt had no significant effect on the plot or characterization, such as the boating scene where the twins have a race. Plus, it had one of the worst endings I had ever seen in a movie: Mark clicking on the Refresh button every few seconds to see if his ex-girlfriend has added him as a friend on Facebook.

Done!
_{eye opening, to say the least}

You sicken me, sir.

@ Mickeymac - You hate Clerks? How?!!! That thing was like the platform for like every awesome movie since (slight exaggeration).

As for myself, I never turn a movie once I start. I don't care how bad something is, I can usually find at least one redeeming quality about a movie. And after all, my philosophy is that someone has made something and as such the least I can do is watch the whole thing. That way, you can make arguments about it being bad. In my opinion if you turn off a movie, you can't bag it out because you never saw the whole thing. If I do fall asleep, I try to watch the movie later, or intend to. The only reason I fall asleep is from exhaustion...

Thats not to say I don't hate movies. To this day, I still bring up the fact that my mates wanted to go watch Date Movie instead of seeing Thankyou for Smoking. I hate them for it.

As for bad movies. The only movie I have ever seen that does not have a single redeemable quality is called Irish Jam.

Terrible.

So many wrong things about this post. Alright not wrong. Our opinions differ. But I do feel like you completely missed the point of several aspects of the film.
1. The characters talking to fast: teenagers talk fast. Fact. It felt incredibly realistic to me, and the opening scene is actually probably my favorite in the movie. I've popped it in just to watch that opening.
2. The boating scene is very important to the movie. The twins (I can't spell their name. Vinklehaus?) were trying to remain "gentlemen of Harvard." They were trying to restrain themselves. But that huge loss caused them to snap, especially when they realized that the Facebook had expanded into the UK. Here they were, losing the biggest race of their lives, while this little nerd they hired was mooching off their idea, making tons of money, and gaining notoriety throughout the world. And that's when they finally decide to sue him.
3. The ending is open to debate. I thought it was kind of touching, but I can see why some would be underwhelmed by it. But there's no real "ending" to the story, you know? There couldn't be. It's still going on right now.

I agree with Kid A. The refresh clicking showed his vulnerability and his desire to be liked.

Eragon. It was SOOOOO different from the book I just couldn't take it anymore.

Eragon is actually keeping me from reading the book, which is a shame.

^ That's probably the worst movie ever made that was based on a book. Don't go near it unless you want disappointment. D:

Even if a movie isn't necessarily good, I usually watch it all the way through. There are only a few that I could not stand and shut off. Unless it's a romantic movie; I can do romantic comedy once in a while, but romance movies just suck
If I actually sat down to intentionally watch the movie, I probably wouldn't shut it off, although I really hate romance movies.Never know...

The only movie I can think of right now was Dragon Wars. I bought that movie cause I am a huge fan of dragons and was thinking it was going to be something like Reign of Fire. I watched about 30 minutes of it and that was it. The acting was horrible in it the storyline made no sense. The next day I traded it to Gamestop for cash.

The only movie that I actually walked out of a theater was the first Hulk movie I think right there says it all.

lol, man you have it completely backwards. The Hangover, while somewhat overrated, was still hands down better than anything Judd Apatow has done. And they weren't trying to cash in on the Judd Apatow fame, as director Todd Phillips has made several comedy classics himself, including the 2003 classic Old School (one of the funniest movies of that decade) which came out before Judd himself became a big director and household name. Todd Phillips has a style all his own, in that his comedies are actually funny.

So many Nintendo Lifers putting down the Godfather.

Just saw part of the Pokemon Zoroark movie and can honestly say it's one of the worst things I've ever witnessed. Really astonished that these movies are released theatrically in Japan. Even for a kids movie it was dire.

Yes, this shocks and horrifies me. Godfather 1 and 2 are two of the all-time greats.
People seem to hate it for silly reasons, too. "It's long." "It's about bad guys." Be reasonable now, people; lest you wake up with a horse's head in your bed
