First and foremost, you’re complaining about pacing, not writing. Second, that’s your opinion and that’s fine. Personally, I don’t think every single second needs to move the plot forward. I’m perfectly fine with sections of it being transicions or world building or other stuff.
Your opinion’s fine though. Just go watch something else. However, you not liking something doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily bad, nor good.
If the substance really is the only film that gripped you in the past few years, then you either are terrible at picking movies or you just don’t really like cinema all that much.
