Jared Leto. © 2022. Sony Pictures/Columbia Pictures. In association with Marvel. Directed by Daniel Espinosa. Going into Morbius felt like going to Burger King but you want to leave right away but you stay instead. Well, that's how I felt when watching the film. I knew that the film was going to be bad and as expected, it was bad yet watchable. That's the nicest thing I can say to this film.
In the film, Morbius becomes a living vampire after curing himself of a rare disease. But his longtime friend discovers his powers and takes it in his own way of damaging the city and Morbius himself. My expectations going into Morbius was going to be low and as expected, it's low but there's some decent moments in the film. Jared Leto is decent in the role but sometimes unintentionally funny. The title graphic design is pretty cool. Matt Smith was easily the best part of the film. He's a great actor and it sucks that he has to work with a shitty script. But he was entertaining and he should've been morbius. Some of the visuals look cool and the subway fight scene is the only scene I actually enjoyed and had fun with it. Besides that, nothing much else. The film falls flat into it's screenplay. I feel bad for the director and it looks like a lot of the film was cut and made the editing very poor. The editing is fast paced but bad. There's not enough time to develop characters or moments that make the film more impactful. Not enough time to stick with the characters. There are a bunch of city shots and it just "stops" the film even though those shots look beautiful. The villainy set-up is too cliché and now overused many times. They could've used a different set-up like accidently killing his mentor or being the first test subject. But wait, there's more. Morbius story felt very rushed and there was no emotional connection between Morbius and his human form. There's no stakes in the film and I didn't felt nothing when certain characters died. Adria Arjona's character felt empty and the love relationship was just randomly there and I didn't feel any build up to that moment. The action sequences were very mid. The final sequence was lackluster and it was all over the place. The score is not good and they even copied Hans Zimmer score in one scene where Morbius was inside a tube with the bats. I don't know how they got away with it but here we are. The cinematography looks bland and it's coming from a award winning cinematographer which is disappointing. There's some cool shots but some shots felt weird or not fitting. The supporting cast outside of the villain were boring or uninteresting. The jokes weren't funny but I chuckled in some. I even forgot the ending because how bad this film is. But there's some good cheesy moments I will give credit. But even the cheesy moments didn't save this mess. I was so uninterested with these characters and I checked out half way into the movie. By the time the film was over, I was only interested in the post-credit scenes and those were even bad as well. It didn't make any sense whatsoever with the connection with Spider-Man. No actually beef with him and it does a disservice with Morbius and Vulture. Sony with their false advertising makes me baffle. In the end, this film was a total disappointment and I didn't enjoy this film a lot. Originally this film was around a "C-" but now, it's going to be lower after I wrote my thoughts of this film. Fuck the writers and Sony for their false advertising. Uninteresting, mess, and almost complete waste of time. Now Playing in Theaters. Just wait for streaming on Netflix. Vizeit Score: "D" Copyright © 2022. Vizeit Studios. All Rights Reserved.
