No, “sympathize” means that you share or understand someone else’s feelings. So, if you say, “I sympathize with the movies being made lately,” it means that you agree with the ideas expressed in those films.
I don’t know if you’re expressing an emotion that we really have a way of describing in English. Maybe you could say, “I almost pity the people who made the movies that have come out lately,” or, “The movies coming out lately have been painful to watch.”
