Morbius Reviews
Takes the superhero format and sucks the life from it, reducing the usual expansive Marvel feast to the thinnest of gruel.

In the age of multiverses and reality alterations, simplicity has never looked so bright.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 23, 2024
It's a horrific mish-mash of other films that ends with two CGI monsters punching each other into walls while screaming about “ultimate power”.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 4, 2024
The best part of “Morbius” were the opening and closing credits. It had a James Turrell color aesthetic with a dash of Nicholas Winding Refn’s “The Neon Demon” (2016).

After multiple delays, Morbius, the “highly anticipated” new entry into Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, arrives with some of the worst world-building we have seen in a long time.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 24, 2024
Morbius is a thin piece that lacks any reason to entice comic book fans, genre fans, or action fans.

I can't even comprehend how they thought this was worth putting out. Worst of all, it connects itself to an actual good Spider-Man villain.

A terribly dull movie that takes you back to the worst CBM’s in the 2000s. Jared Leto brings dedication, Matt Smith brings charm & is having the time of his life…. But god the script, the editing, the pacing was all terribly brought together

It’s not that Morbius is bad, but that it is so bad that it’s almost unwatchable. Matt Smith is a waste of great talent in a role that sees him go from practically paralyzed to supervillain in a matter of seconds.

From the predictability and zero creativity of the main plot to the heavy reliance on uninteresting, unnecessary exposition, Daniel Espinosa finds his most significant problem in the blatant lack of care in the treatment of the characters.
| Original Score: D | Jul 25, 2023
It comes as no surprise that the extremely delayed Moribus is not the finest superhero movie ever released. The film lacks depth and intrigue. It’s a slow-moving exploration of a character that barely makes the case for its existence.

Rumours circulating about Morbius made me apprehensive about attending the press screening, to begin with. But I went into it hoping for better. Unfortunately, the movie ended up being even worse than the rumours led me to believe.
| Original Score: 1/10 | Jul 20, 2023
In the end, there’s a reason why Gen Z decided that the funniest thing they could say about it was that it was good, with their almost supernatural grasp of irony they can see that of all the things this movie is, good is not even remotely one of them.

Sony Pictures has proved one thing: Morbius succeeds as a vampire film as it drains life from itself.

Honestly, this is probably almost as good a Morbius film as you're going to get where it has a PG-13 rating and no Spider-Man involvement. Changing either of those things would have made it better.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 5, 2023
Morbius is neither as dire as you have heard nor is it incredibly good. It’s mid-tier Marvel, not particularly inspired but not the worst thing I’ve ever sat through. If anything, it kind of reminds me of the Underworld series.

It’s a throwback in form, but not in personality. There’s nothing weird or dated about this movie; it’s just filling a superhero quota.

The movie is only bland and unpersuasive, and would have disappeared without a trace if not for the jolly internet memes that snarkily celebrated it, as though it were a lovably inept thing to be cherished, not chastised, for its flaws.
| Original Score: D | Aug 24, 2022
Leto is certainly up for the role, and I can see where he could have done something special with a better script and more focused direction.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 16, 2022
The enjoyment of the film is certainly lessened by the film's darkness, and I don't mean its tonality.
