Alright, so today, we are going to be reviewing the latest superhero film that was made by Marvel, and Columbia Pictures. Starring Jared Leto, and others, let’s discuss Morbius.
Plot: When a scientist named Michael Morbius (Jared Leto), his surrogate brother, Milo (Matt Smith), and a female scientist named Martine Bancroft (Adria Arjona) discover that synthetic blood from bats can cause super powers on humans, it is up to them to stop the spread of the blood, and prevent many people in the human race from becoming psychotic.
Okay, even for a Marvel film, Morbius, the latest Marvel film, is not all that good. Yes, there was great action at points, and things like that. And yes, the concept was nice too. And how could one not like the compare/contrast deal with certain characters in this film? However, the execution with the story, and the whole idea with the synthetic blood didn’t seem to be all that well developed. Even then, the film has a great many other problems as well. The film seems to go way overboard with the violence at times. Quite honestly, part of me was rather surprised that Morbius didn’t receive an R-rating with the amount of violence that occurred at certain points in this film. Like really? What’s worse is that, besides Morbius, and possibly Milo, the characters don’t seem to be all that fun, and can be a little too depressing to watch onscreen at times. The ending also seemed to feel a little rushed as well. Well, on the brighter side, at least there was some cool flying around, and CGI effects at points.
And that’s my review for Morbius. It does have some cool action sequences, some cool CGI effects, and things like those, I’ll give the film that much credit. However, it’s not one of those feel good films, Marvel, or not, that you’d want to watch over and over again. Still, I would say see it at least once if you want to be fully caught up on the Marvel film series, if not for other reasons.
Final Grade: D+
