Scott Pilgrim and Arrival are the only two movies I've wanted to walk out of.
Not the worst movies, but man they were excruciating to sit through.
Scott Pilgrim has 7 boyfriends to fight and I think at one point he has to fight an extra one and I just about left right then.
Arrival was so lame and obvious, and full of fake cloudy computer grading that made everything so depressing. It was easily the worst theatre experience Ive ever had.

Clearly you mean The Arrival with Charlie Sheen right? Because no sane person would walk out of Arrival directed by absolute ####ing legend Denis Villeneuve.
Don't even respond. I don't want my hopes dashed.

Arrival was a brilliant film. Easily one of the best sci-fi movies of the last decade or so.

Personally I thought it was OK, and had it's issues. I wouldn't walk out on it, or call it a horrible film but I think it got a lot more praise than it deserved.

Arrival was good, but I had the twist figured out well before it was actually revealed (as I imagine most sci-fi fans would). I had to explain it to my wife at the end though.

Amy Adams elevated the f out of that movie.

Speaking of space films. I was disappointed in Interstellar. It was okay, but I don’t think it delivered on the hype surrounding it. It was pretty much typical Christopher Nolan, but set in space.

I was actually really surprised at how much I didn't get into that movie.
well it was all so stupid, even good pilots generally were lucky to shoot down one or two planes through out their whole tour, let alone in 20 minutes, I liked the bit about watching the fuel but then why would he waste a plane by ignoring the gas gauge, why would he land in German territory, why did the kid have to die from a simple fall?
The whole film felt like a cack handed attempt to build tension and drama
The 1958 film with John Mills was actually a far better story if you have a chance to see it
I really agree about the 1958 film is was really good, and seemed to feel a lot more character driven.
I think they took a naturally interesting and good story and beat us over the head with it.
I still hope they never try to remake movies like Midway for example which is such a deep story. They tried to encorporate elements of Tora Tora Tora into Pearl Harbor and they just made a mess of it.
I will state that one of the better more stunning and interesting movies is still Red Tails.

Worst movie ever? Has to be Zardoz. Hands down. This movie is almost so bad it's funny - but the laughing at the movie only lasts for about 15 minutes at the beginning. After that, it becomes a steaming, unwatchable, impossible to understand act of madness. The first 15-20 minutes of so though?? The best most terrible movie you can watch. Remember, this is intended to be deadly serious.

How dare you put down Zardoz, the film had enough naked T'n'A for any 14 year old when it came on BBC2 art film slot on Friday night
You know those are characters, right? Those two (David Lawrence and Paul Spence) have been part of the independent drama scene in Calgary for a very long time. "Terry and Deaner" would show up at Loose Moose on a regular basis. That "home movie" was just a style of film, which was common at that time for comedy: The mockumentary. It's a legitimate (low budget) movie that was not made by a couple of random dudes, but aspiring independent artists portraying the culture that they had experienced. I personally found it compelling to see how perpetual party-boys handle serious crises like health scares.
You don't have to like it, and you can still consider it the worst movie ever, but I think all of that deserves consideration.
I do know that is was scripted, moreso describing the lens through which I experienced the movie
