unenjoyable
Lacking any pleasure
Unenjoyable describes something that fails to provide pleasure or satisfaction.
The word is straightforward—simply the negation of enjoyable: The movie was unenjoyable from start to finish.
It's milder than saying something was actively unpleasant; an unenjoyable experience might just be dull or tedious rather than awful.
