WHAT TO KNOW
CRITICS CONSENSUS
Cursed with uninspired effects, rote performances, and a
borderline nonsensical story, this dreary mess is a vein attempt to
make Morbius happen. Read critic reviews
AUDIENCE SAYS
Morbius isn't telling the most original story, but cool visuals and
fast action keep things entertaining. Read audience reviews

Not the epic disaster we expected...It is, however,
generic as all hell.

A case of (the filmmakers) had a character, but didnt
quite know what to do with it. I think its quite a
messy plot that doesnt always make that much
sense A bit different with the horror theme, but
nothing special.

If it were just a ride in a theme park, Morbius would
be fun enough. But it is not.

TOP CRITIC
Morbius, at best, will be remembered as the latest
effort on Sony's part to make its nascent Sinister Six
franchise happen. And, like "fetch," it's hard to see
that happening.

Simply put, Morbius is one of the laziest, shallowest,
most pathetic attempts at a movie blockbuster in
some time.

The effects-laden film with its hollow storyline ends
up being filler between web-slinger releases and it
makes sure you know that thanks to all the SSU
references.

admit that this is the best I've seen from Jared Leto
in a while and the chemistry he shared with Martine

The tone suits what's going on and I enjoyed the

eventually grind the film to a halt on a few
occasions. I'm also all for a darker hero/anti-hero

here, it just didn't work for me. So, why didn't this
film work? Well, I was instantly turned off by the first
scene, as the discovery of the bats is literally the
opening sequence. Just a couple of scenes later he's
already injecting himself and the cure begins to
work. It's almost like the first act of the film was
condensed to five minutes. Moving along, there are

important plot points seem to be brushed over as

good stuff, but it's sacrificing its characters in the
process. On top of not really caring about what was
