Could also pick a good number of Disney/superhero things from the last year or two, like Little Mermaid, Flash, Quantumania, etc. A number of the made-for-Netflix action movies. Things where you feel a sheen over everything, like they made as few decisions before shooting as possible because "fuck it, we'll figure it out in post with computers." So you get muddy lighting, unconvincing digital sets, obvious green screens, a lack of imaginative camera placement/movement because they don't know what the final shot will look like yet, etc.

Basically any movie that costs 200+ million dollars where you think "why does this look like shit?" And the answer is usually "lack of pre-production, indifference to quality of post-production, or both."
