Movies so awful you couldn't finish watching them

Star Wars: The Last Jedi

10 minutes in when Luke Skywalker was milking the engorged nipples of that dinosaur creature thing and cracked a milk moustache I had to turn that garbage off. I know the Star Wars movies are no paragon of story-telling or acting, but holy shit, this was bad. I didn't know if that was the actual Carrie Fisher or her CGI doppelganger, but at that point I didn't care.

The Empire Strikes Back is the only good Star Wars movie; the rest are varying degrees of garbage.
 
Yeah, The Last Jedi made me hate Star Wars, and I loved the other movies so much. I did finish watching it, but only because I was there opening night at the first showing with a group of friends. Haven't seen Solo, and probably won't, and will not see any of the others coming out. Have kinda fazed all Star Wars out of my life since December.

I do put up with watching a lot of stupid things, but I've always made it through to the end, but mostly I'll start doing something else and just leave it on for noise and watch it just enough to keep up with what's going on. However, there is one movie I saw at the theater which made me walk out and not finish watching it, and that was Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice. Within the first ten minutes of the movie, when they were showing another re-telling of Batman's origin, and the bats are all flying around him as a boy in the cave, and they are picking him up, I started looking around wondering if we as an audience were going to walk out all at the same time, but then it was a dream, so I let it go. I made it all the way up to where the two are screaming out about Martha, and I had enough, got up, and left.

I can't get through Twilight. It kills my soul just being in the same house when it was on. Not happening.
 
For a while I thought Ridley Scott would never do worse than Prometheus. The I saw Alien Covenant.
 
Ultraviolet and Layer Cake.

Huge let downs, the both of them. I'm a big fan of the first 2 films and can stomach 3 and 4. But Prometheus and Covenant.. come on.
 
I think I'm easy to please but I liked both of those. Alien 3, though, was a prolapsed asshole prolaspsing into a glorious pink sock prolapse.

I like Alien3 Not as much as 1 & 2 but it's quite good. Alien 4 is a mix-bag, some things are awesome others are horrible. I've never seen the AvP movies and I won't see them ever.

Payback starring Mel Gibson. The violence was gratuitous and the anti-hero Porter (Gibson) was so thoroughly unlikeable that you're left feeling he brought getting shot by his crime partner Val Resnick upon himself. At the beginning of the movie, he rips off a waitress, pays for a steak dinner with a canceled credit card, and beats up on a homeless veteran for his donations. The old adage, There's No honor among thieves.

It's been about 50 years since I read it but, that's pretty much the first chapter of the first Parker book in a popular 16 book series by Donald E Westlake. Which IMHO is the first/only time the movies got Parker right.
