THE FOLLOWING REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR MORBIUS. IF YOU HAVEN’T WATCHED THE MOVIE, WE SUGGEST YOU TO NOT READ THIS REVIEW. YOU’VE BEEN WARNED.

Morbius, a third entry in the Spider-Man universe is a straight-up disappointment. I don’t know what they were trying here but I didn’t like it at all. It might be the worst movie ever made by Sony. It is a horror movie that doesn’t make you scared at all. Dr. Michael Morbius is attempting to cure a rare blood disease that’s been affecting him since childhood. Morbius basically is a vampire, but one might think, doesn’t he have to die first? Well no.

You see, he had gone to a cave and captured many bats whose DNA he plans to extract and create a serum that he will inject into himself. But he can’t do that because it violates the rules or laws of medical ethics and therefore he conducts this experiment on a cargo ship with his assistant Dr. Martine Bancroft and a few mercenaries. The experiment begins and as they proceed, we knew things were bound to go wrong as always.

He fuses his DNA with bat DNA without having to die which gives him abilities like super speed, super strength, heightened senses, accelerated healing, and a forever appetite for blood. But instead of using actual blood, Dr. Morbius created artificial blood which works just like human blood, and for that Dr. Morbius rejected the Nobel Prize at the beginning of the movie.

Morbius’s best friend Milo (Matt Smith) learns that the serum Morbius created is successful and no longer needs crutches to walk and proceeds to take the serum and turn into a vampire. Unlike Morbius is fighting the urge to not feed on people, Milo on the other hand just accepts that to survive he has to feed and therefore starts feeding on people which kills them.

When I was watching this movie, I genuinely felt bad for all the actors that worked in this movie. I believe Jared Leto was the wrong choice to play Morbius even though he put great effort to make the audience love his character, unfortunately, it wasn’t convincing. Matt Smith’s character felt like a total waste. The action scenes of this movie were also not so interesting that people will go crazy.

Anyway, we see Milo without his shirt dancing which created so many memes, lol. He heads to a bar where he suddenly feels like a Superman or more like Superman lite. After flirting with a girl and then getting yelled at by those guys he heads out of the bar, waits for those guys to come out, and kills them as he embraces those powers. By the way, Morbius and Milo both kind of look like a monkey, I don’t why everywhere time I see that look, I laugh. Don’t get me wrong.

In the final act, Morbius and Milo face off against each other and that’s more or less the entire movie. Both fight each other and then a few minutes later Morbius stakes Milo and we don’t know if he died in the process.

The post-credits has to be one of the worst post-credits scenes ever with Morbius meeting Michael Keaton’s MCU Vulture and he asks for his help saying that Spider-man is involved in getting him away from his universe and bringing him into this universe. The worst part is Morbius ending line is “Intriguing.”

In the end, I feel like if Spider-man is going to show up and I hope it’s not Andrew Garfield because I think it will be the biggest letdown and the reason for that would be very poor writing. Morbius doesn’t excite me in any way, the performance by every actor is great but it can’t be highlighted because of the very bad writing from the writers.

“Morbius has to be one of the worst movie ever made, it had so much potential, yet because of very poor writing, it failed!”
