Since I’m selective about what I see in the theater, consider this my least favorite films of the year. A deciding factor on where a movie ends up on this list is how willing I am to rewatch it. (Or in this case, if I was forced to rewatch some of these.)

5. Uncharted– Yet another video game adaption that misses the mark. The action is fairly ludicrous, and despite the likability of the actors, they all feel miscast in their roles.
4. Thor: Love and Thunder – A decent concept, but a poorly executed plot, a love story lacking chemistry and non-stop mediocre jokes ruin the whole thing.
3. Jurassic World: Dominion– While there are some nice moments with both the “Jurassic World” cast and the ‘Jurassic Park” cast, the much-hyped team-up never pays off.
2. Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore– Despite some twists and turns and the specter of a war between wizards and normal humans, the film is bland, with even more forgettable characters added to the franchise.
1. Morbius – Attempting to franchise a mediocre Spider-Man villain gives us a film where the pacing is weak, the characters are forgettable, and the special effects are mostly a mashup of CG and slow-mo that just look like a big mess half the time.
