Critics have thrown adjectives such as “boring,” “disjointed” and “incoherent” at 'Morbius,' but our reviewer Peter Travers says 'this movie is much worse than that.'
Such adjectives as “boring,” “disjointed” and “incoherent” have been tossed at Sony’s big-screen debut for a minor-league villain created by Marvel Comics in 1971 to pester Spider-Man.
Audience appetite for comic-book antiheroes means you’re going to line up for “Morbius” no matter what anyone says. From Loki to Thanos, bad boys are big box office. And Leto, an Oscar winner who played the Joker in “The “Suicide Squad,” always goes the extra mile. Having finished shooting nearly three years ago, “Morbius” feels like it’s been tinkered with during the period when the pandemic pushed the release dates of mega-budget epics that wanted to wait for theaters to reopen in a big way. That time seems to be now. Look at “The Batman.”
At its core, “Morbius” is a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde ripoff about a good doctor who heals himself thorough illegal experiments that turn him into a monster with pointy teeth. Yes, he gains super strength and speed, but the urge to kill people leaves him feeling guilty afterwards.
