The Eternals - Could have been amazing if they weren't trying to tell like six origin stories AND THEN a team-up story in the same film

Honorably mentions:

The Marvels - The first act was some of the best post-Endgame stuff in the MCU, the bickering between the three leads really reminded me of how the Avengers fought in the first Avengers film. It really was a shame that they just said "sorry" in a cornfield and released all the tension right at the end of the first act.

The Substance - Had the potential to be a timeless classic but it forgoed poignancy for 40 extra minutes of absurdist, overindulgent and redundant body horror

The New Mutants - They should have never hired the director of The Fault In Our Stars for a movie like that

LEGO: The Adventures Of Clutch Powers - Too much setup without payoff

We’re All Going to the World’s Fair - HORRIBLE pacing really hurts this movie even though the story, atmosphere and worldbuilding were incredible
