People In This Online Group Are Sharing The Movies They Couldn’t Finish Because They Were So Bad And Here Are 30 Of Them
Movies make you travel to a different world and experience hundreds and thousands of lives, let you into the minds of people who think not the same as you, and help to detach from your own problems. It is a popular way to spend time but you want it to be quality time as there are more productive ways to spend a couple of hours of your day.
Some movies are so bad that you don’t need to finish them to know they are not worth your time. To make other people aware of such movies, Ramaal2000 asked Reddit users, “What movie did you start watching then said ‘F**k this, I'm not finishing this?’”
Are there any other movies that made you stand up in the cinema and just leave, or turn off your computer, TV, or other devices because they were so unwatchable? Let us know in the comments and upvote the submissions you agree with the most.

Marriage story.
Why would i want to watch parents fight for two hours. Might as well just eat with my family for dinner

Everybody was raving about how good this movie was. And it was very well made. But it's just sad. A marriage splitting apart is awful and showing it so realistically is depressing.

Noah with Russel Crowe. Gave it about 10 minutes then me and the missus looked at each other.
"Maybe it'll get better"
"That *maybe* is doing a lot of work"
We gave up when the Twisted Rock Creatures just casually arrive and nobody bats an eyelid, or even explains them.
It might get better, but I'm 40ish, so only have a few decades left, and dont want to risk wasting the hours required to watch this again.

A Wrinkle in Time.
Trash.
Krakenzmama added:
I really was looking forward to AWIT. I had a rough time as a fifth grader in the 1980s and it was THE book that saved my soul as a kid - I saw myself as Meg- I read and reread it until I was an adult.
So I was truly excited to see this movie with my bf and his kids. After I left the theater I was mad for weeks every time I thought of it.
I didn't mind how it was cast. but the writers skipped over chapters of the book, practically made Oprah the star of the thing and totally made everything up from whole cloth after Meg and Cal escaped Kamazotz. It wasn't even the cliff notes version - it was like the kindergartner version after the saw the trailer once and tried to make the ending deep when they didn't earn it.
Trash indeed

The Passion of the Christ, and I remember the exact moment.
(spoilers?)
In one of the first scenes where Jesus is being tortured by the Romans, Roman One reveals his Cat o’ Nine Tails with barbed hooks. He slams it against a wooden table, and pulls it back to a shower of splinters. He then proceeds to send chunks of Jesus’ back everywhere.
I thought to myself: just kill him already.
And then I found myself wondering: was THAT the point of all this gore-porn? To drive home that the only end to pain and suffering was through THE DEATH OF CHRIST?
Just as I was about to give Mel Gibson grudging respect for maybe almost making a point, Roman One flips Jesus over and starts all over again on Jesus’ front. “Nope,” I thought to myself, “Mel was enjoying himself too much when he made this.” My girlfriend at the time noped out hard, and I definitely wasn’t going to refuse.
The worst thing was leaving and seeing the CHILDREN that these church people brought to see this movie that was rated R solely for violence, their eyes either buried in their seats or dilated to the size of dinner plates, and (I assume) blaming themselves for what they were seeing on screen.
F**k that movie. Happy Easter?

Could have been the next Harry Potter and I felt terrible for Riordan. They should have used kids like they did in the Harry Potter movies because they start out 11-12 years old in the books. I don’t even think they read the books til the second one because they gave Alexandra Daddario a blonde wig in the second movie because her character is in fact supposed to be blonde. And they meet a bad guy in the second movie that they shouldn’t even think about until like the 3rd or 4th book.
So yeah, bad movies.

The Robin Hood movie. The bad guys have machine gun crossbows. It's f*****g bizarre.
Edit: For anyone that hasn't seen it and is curious, the first scene has Robin Hood in the crusades where the crusaders wear modern gear and flak jackets and they hut hut hut around a bombed out city clearing houses with longbows half drawn at the shoulder like they're spec ops dudes but they get pinned down by an automatic ballista that's basically a machine gun nest but it's OK because they fire a flare arrow over it which calls in an air strike from some nearby trebuchets. I didn't hate this as much as some of the people replying but the whole thing was so goofy and stupid that I couldn't be bothered finishing it.

Hearts AND Armour. (CORRECTED!)
I have absolutely no excuse other than I paid $1 in the Blockbuster bin for it and needed to win the "Worst movie" contest with a bunch of friends on Fantasy Movie Friday.
I won.
I still win with it.
I still haven't watched all of it.
Note to anyone who attempts to watch it - whenever the blonde heaves her bosoms, tosses her hair, and yells "Let me fight him, I'll fight him" take a drink and you'll be dead before the end of the film, so you'll be out of your misery anyway.
FYI: You don't know bad cinema until the bad guys have the evil henchmen in a sword and sorcery flick is wear a spangly rooster costume fight chicken style alongside the guy in a sequined top hat surrounded by knives and bowtie on top of an ape suit.
YUP, folks - it's THAT bad.

Years back, I used to love the no-effort parody movies like Epic Movie, Scary Movie, Superhero Movie, Meet the Spartans etc.
Until I watched Scary Movie 5.
When 5 came out, I couldn't see it immediately at the time so I forgot about it and rented it years later. When watching it I realised none of the jokes were funny because they all relied on referencing and parodying the horror movies of that time which were no longer relevant. It was a slog and I turned it off and returned it half way through.

Should have turned off Invisible Man, but my BF was enjoying it.
I literally spent 75% of that movie thinking "NOPE. NOPE. NOPE. Is it over yet? Surely this is the end. Oh god, it's not. F**k." On repeat.
It wasnt even the fact that he was invisible, just everyone not believing the woman over and over....nooope.
It's been 14 years since I broke up with my controlling gas lighting ex. Clearly not long enough to watch this movie. And my ex wasnt ever physically violent.
-10/10. Hated it.

Inside.
It's a French slasher film about this woman who wants to steal a pregnant widow's fetus. I've watched so many gorefest movies to boot and for some reason this one just totally took it to the next level for me and I couldn't handle it.
I actually got quite close to the end and I just couldn't finish it.

Bird box. What a horrible movie. I made it pretty far, but realised like 45 minutes in that I had no way to empathize with the main character, I hated her, the way she treated the kids, and I hated the way every other character behaved. I turned it off.
What do you think ?

Not a movie, but a TV show. Glee. When I watched the first episode, it invoked a hysterical rage in me that I'd never had before. The characters are awful. The plot is nonexistent. If you watch it, you'll realise that murder is actually acceptable after all.

The Green Card. The protagonist is not likeable. You know she's committing fraud just to get an apartment with a greenhouse. The guy just wants a green card. There is absolutely no chemistry between that imposter couple. The whole idea of having a greenhouse in your apartment gives me images of infestation problems. The whole movie is just frustrating to watch. You think it's going in one direction and then falls flat.

Sometimes a bad movie can be fun. I remember watching "Creature Of The Black Lagoon" in a rep cinema packed with rowdy college students on spring break and really enjoying it. Then there are bad movies that are just plain bad. "A Good Man In Africa" - my partner was a Sean Connery fan at the time and even he stopped watching. "The Story Of O" - it was a midnight showing at a rep cinema and so many people walked out. Most boring artsy-porn film ever, I fell asleep.

Robert Redford's 2013 movie All is Lost.

There was no build up before or explanation after the main events so we just didn't care about his character at all. Honestly it was just boring and I felt robbed at the end.

The worst movie I've ever seen was Bruno. Not only was it a terrible movie in general, I made the colossal mistake of going to see it with my father. (For those who haven't seen it, it involves quite a bit of full-frontal male nudity, including scene breaks in which the camera zooms in on a dude's wildly swinging genitals.)

I literally stayed up until 3am on a work night to finish reading the Douglas Preston/Lincoln Child novel, "Relic." When I heard they'd made a movie out of it, I was thrilled--until I watched it. The authors didn't know any better at the time, so they ceded total creative control to the studio. The studio apparently "couldn't figure out who to cast" as Pendergast, the character in the novel who held all the disparate plot threads together--so they just cut him out entirely. Turned a very well-written book, that I stayed up way too late at night to finish, into a cheesy B-movie horror flick that made no sense. Apparently the studio wanted to turn another Preston/Child novel into a movie; I remember seeing trailers for it. The movie never got made--Preston and Child learned their lesson after Relic, and insisted on having more creative control over the film. The studio basically said, "Do it our way, or it doesn't get done." The studio was very surprised when Preston and Child...

“Don’t Look Up”. It’s two hours of “oh look, Leo DiCaprio is smacking himself on the head and everyone is blurting out the word f#ck three times in every sentence, isn’t it just so quirky and edgy???” Um…no, it’s not. It’s pretentious and insufferable.

Scarface I’m sorry too hard to emphasize with such a horrible character. I know he gets gunned down in the end but still the journey to the ending is hard to watch also th f word is used too much so much so that I had enough and quit watching it.

For me it was parasite. I did finish it, but only because i kinda promised my mom id watch it, and it was a literal herculean effort. I get its one of those artsy films, but really there isnt any point. Its not really saying anything specific, its just a situation thats a bit weird that plays out. Not weird enough to be suspenseful or anything, just weird. I found it agressivelly boring.

Not a movie, but a TV show. Glee. When I watched the first episode, it invoked a hysterical rage in me that I'd never had before. The characters are awful. The plot is nonexistent. If you watch it, you'll realise that murder is actually acceptable after all.

The Green Card. The protagonist is not likeable. You know she's committing fraud just to get an apartment with a greenhouse. The guy just wants a green card. There is absolutely no chemistry between that imposter couple. The whole idea of having a greenhouse in your apartment gives me images of infestation problems. The whole movie is just frustrating to watch. You think it's going in one direction and then falls flat.

Sometimes a bad movie can be fun. I remember watching "Creature Of The Black Lagoon" in a rep cinema packed with rowdy college students on spring break and really enjoying it. Then there are bad movies that are just plain bad. "A Good Man In Africa" - my partner was a Sean Connery fan at the time and even he stopped watching. "The Story Of O" - it was a midnight showing at a rep cinema and so many people walked out. Most boring artsy-porn film ever, I fell asleep.

Robert Redford's 2013 movie All is Lost. I get it's meant to be all about the cinematography and effects, there's hardly any dialogue and we went into the movie knowing that, but I didn't need 45 minutes to figure out Robert Redford's character can work a boat. There was no build up before or explanation after the main events so we just didn't care about his character at all. Honestly it was just boring and I felt robbed at the end.

The worst movie I've ever seen was Bruno. Not only was it a terrible movie in general, I made the colossal mistake of going to see it with my father. (For those who haven't seen it, it involves quite a bit of full-frontal male nudity, including scene breaks in which the camera zooms in on a dude's wildly swinging genitals.) I think the only reason we didn't leave the theater is that we were both trying to play it cool by pretending we weren't really there.

Also at the student cinema. There was so much background sound the dialogue was barely audible and the detectives never switched the lights on when searching a murder scene, they just flashed torches around and seemed to miss stuff simply because it was too dark. I got irritated and left after 30ish minutes. I just went up to the office and hung out or read a film magazine.

I fell asleep during The Revenant, but that was more due to a long work shift, being awake for over 12 hours when I watched it, and biking to and from work. Also not a movie, but I stopped watching the anime Eden's Zero before season 1 was over. Same creator as Fairy Tail, and it felt like the creator copied his own homework a little too much with the two series despite the different settings of the worlds. Gave up at around episode 15.

I literally stayed up until 3am on a work night to finish reading the Douglas Preston/Lincoln Child novel, "Relic." When I heard they'd made a movie out of it, I was thrilled--until I watched it. The authors didn't know any better at the time, so they ceded total creative control to the studio. The studio apparently "couldn't figure out who to cast" as Pendergast, the character in the novel who held all the disparate plot threads together--so they just cut him out entirely. Turned a very well-written book, that I stayed up way too late at night to finish, into a cheesy B-movie horror flick that made no sense. Apparently the studio wanted to turn another Preston/Child novel into a movie; I remember seeing trailers for it. The movie never got made--Preston and Child learned their lesson after Relic, and insisted on having more creative control over the film. The studio basically said, "Do it our way, or it doesn't get done." The studio was very surprised when Preston and Child...
