I’ve been to movies so terrible I left!

https://youtu.be/frdj1zb9sMYI understand the first three, but I have to fundamentally disagree with you as much as humanly possible on Rogue One being terrible. I absolutely respect your right and and opinion to think so, but for me it’s one of the best representations of what Star Wars should be in the space fiction genre.
What was it about Rogue One that bothered you so much that you couldn’t finish?
You are correct and the other person is incorrect. Or possibly trolling.
I didn’t like Rogue One either. 🤷🏻♂️
Cardboard characters, plot holes, and going against everything the original trilogy stood for.
It got on my bad side when they introduced Cassian by having him murder a completely innocent person, something the Empire would do.
Then, later in the film, when it’s his fucking job to assassinate a legitimate military target, he gets all sweaty and - OH - JUST… CAN’T… PULL… THE… TRIGGER… No explanation, no character development… just because… That was when I walked out.
The real reason of course, is more complicated. The original writer/director fucked things up so colossally he was actually removed from the picture and a new guy was brought in to re-write and re-shoot. Cassian’s change in tone was because of the two different creators.
I also found Rogue One incredibly overrated. Nothing that they play up feels earned, and I didn’t get invested at all, possibly for some of the reasons you mentioned.
Rogue One is easily the best Star Wars movie since the original trilogy.
It’s not even a good movie, much less a good Star Wars movie.
There are longer absolute takedowns of it, but I like this one:
but that’s not a high bar.
Barnyard. My daughter and I used to go see EVERY kids movie when she was between 5 and 12 yrs. Let me tell you, I have learned to enjoy some shitastic movies. Then came Barnyard. 30 minutes in, it was so bad, I leaned over to my (then 6 years old) daughter and said “Sweetie, do you like this movie?” She looked at me with the most serious face and just said “No”.
Weirdly enough the barnyard TV show was weirdly good. Like it was bad but also kinda ok in that weird way that after awhile you stop caring that its vaguely bad and it actually ends up ok.
Yes! Battlefield Earth.
I stayed for the whole movie because I couldn’t believe how bad it was.I once took my grandfather, a retired commander of the Land Army, to watch a leftist comedy. While I liked it, he was somewhat uncomfortable, but we watched it till the end.
A couple months later, he wanted to take me to watch a documentary on the life on a wooden ship over months, maintained for historical conservation. I’m not going to say it was the biggest turd I had ever seen in my entire life, but it was a serious contender, but nonetheless I had committed myself to watch it till the end because my grandpa did the same effort for me. In the end, it was him who asked me to leave early because he was bored.
I saw Young Einstein on opening weekend…for some reason. No one left the theater but there were only about 4 of us in there to begin with.
