I saw Revenge of the Sith opening day. I was yawning a lot an hour in, and then Natalie Portman started one of her half-assed acting dialogues and a guy in the third row screamed "FUCKS SAKE, DIE ALREADY!". People laughed.
By hour 2, I kept seeing people holding their watches up and pressing the light to check the time. It was pretty bad...

One of the only movies I have ever actually walked out of, and I pride myself for being able to enjoy a movie for being a bad movie....

I wanted to see Meg Ryan's tits. I did. It wasn't worth it. Trying to get some of my money's worth I walked across the hall into the second half of Scary Movie 3 which was equally horrible. Definitely the worst 3 hours I have spent in a movie theater.

Dude. That movie is at 90% on Rotten Tomatoes and it's the *worst* movie you've ever seen in a theater? I will give you credit that you were a teenager and it probably went over your head but if you still feel that way your taste is questionable.

Jennifer Jason Leigh has better tits and you see them a ton in the vastly superior movie Miami Blues. Alec Baldwin at his craziest.

The single worst (and suddenly best) movie I have seen in theaters is The Ring.
About a decade ago I was hanging out with a big group of friends on a Friday night. We met up with another group of people who I did not know, but were acquainted with one of my friends.
Somebody gets the bright idea to go see a movie. We're all arguing about what to see, and then I remember that "The Ring" just came out, and a bunch of people I knew said it was one of the scariest movies they'd ever seen. So I tell this group of about 15 teenagers that we should go see The Ring because it's really scary, and they all agree.
Fast forward to two hours later. Naomi Watts has been wandering around the dreary Pacific Northwest for what feels like three weeks. Nothing inherently scary has happened, besides in the first 5 minutes. I can tell everyone I'm with is getting super antsy/pissed. Some of the more ADD kids are yelling shit at the screen. I'm sweating in my seat because I'm the one who said this shit was scary.
Then there's the false ending -- you know, where she thinks she found the body in the well and saved the girl's soul and the cops show up and everyone is like "Yay, mystery solved" -- I could feel my heart pounding. Oh no. The movie is over, it sucked shit, it was never scary, and I'm the one who said it was scary...
I can feel everyone sort of looking over in my direction... and then this scene happens:
And everyone shut right the fuck up. The Ring is now one of my favorite movies.

I saw that movie opening night with a friend, and the entire theater was quiet as shit for most the movie. Then the part where she opens up the file and the bug falls out and -everyone- in the theater minus my friend and I jumped and yelped. We just started laughing. But it was pretty much just a creepy movie with the slowest build up ever, then it goes into top gear at the end. Only "scary" move I really have enjoyed.
I walked out of Eregon after not knowing what it was and being drug to it. "It's a great fantasy movie from a great book!" Years later this chick is reading Twilight and her shitty taste was fully confirmed.

I will always associate Jennifer Jason Leigh's tits with the psycho in "Single White Female" but Miami Blues sounds like something I could get behind.

The only film I've seen in the cinema that I walked out of wasGodzillawith What's-His-Babyfaced-Name. The reason was that I went to the bathroom mid film and couldn't find my seat again. I ended up buying another ticket the next weekend and seeing it all. Waste of money.
The only film I've ever thought of walking out on, but didn't wasHard Rain. Boring ass film.
Other than that there haven't been that many as I don't often go to the cinema. I could say the Star Wars Prequels but even though they sucked donkyballs I'd still have watched them all in the cinema. Then there was AvP, but still, I don't think I'd have walked out on it. There are probably also a few other films that were boring as fuck that I've managed to repress from my active memory.

I own the series, and yes the first book is very Star Warsy, but the series grows out of it into something original and fairly engaging. The later books also make the first one seem like a little less of a Star Wars ripoff in retrospect. It's also sort of unfair to call anything a Star Wars ripoff, since Star Wars itself is composed of such incredibly generic fantasy elements.
Durza (Robert Carlyle) wasn't Eragon's father in the books or the movie.

I can usually find something remotely interesting in any movie, but this one was tough:
Also, I'll get a lot of flack for this I'm sure, but taking hot chicks to Brazil was probably one of the worst decisions I've ever made. I've never been a big fan of that kind of humor, and add in the fact that the girls clearly had no interest, and to this day that is one of the worst movies I've ever seen.
Honorable mention to Bram Stoker's Dracula. The scene a few minutes in where they are telling the back story and show Winona Ryder "falling" was almost enough to get us to walk out right there. I'm still not sure how we made it to the end, but I'm guessing titties and Gary Oldman probably helped.
EDIT: I enjoyed Howard the Duck and Wing Commander! Well, more than a lot of shitty movies anyway.
