Even when he teamed up with other spooky antiheroes/superheroes — your Man-Things, your Manphibians — Morbius wasn’t exactly the most compelling player in Marvel’s deep bench of monsters. He felt like a fanged footnote at best. But hey, Sony owns the rights to a stable of Spidey-adjacent characters, and that includes the good plasma-craving doctor.
But it also makes Morbius feel better than ever! And gives him superhuman strength! And the ability to glide on the wind, just like his furry little friends! Whereas once Leto sported a Peter Murphy-esque pallor, he’s now jacked and looks like a superhot rock star — call him Thirty Seconds to Morbius! The downside is that Morbius craves blood, and he has tendency to get a little monstrous when he indulges.
You can tell that the creators want to keep one foot firmly planted in Sony’s ongoing Spider-Verse — there’s a reference to “that thing in San Francisco” for you Venom lovers, and given that he’s listed on the film’s IMDb page, no one’s hiding Michael “Remember when he played the Vulture?” Keaton’s involvement — while dipping a toe or two into some horror-flick territory.
As for Leto, he’s restrained himself from chewing the scenery despite having those bitchin’ fangs, and goes for a more brooding, moody, existentially-conflicted-hero mojo that feels par for the course he’s forced to play on. No actor should have to sell dialogue like the follow-up to a description of his super-hearing — “‘bat radar,’ for the uninitiated”; that’s the actual line — or the solemn declaration that those flying mammals “now greet me like a brother.
엉망진창
Yep. Still gotta watch it tho 😄
It’s not a Marvel movie…it’s Sony
I won’t even call it ‘movie’
I will watch it myself. Thx😊
by comparison, the 2003 Daredevil is good.
Bad editing, bad CGI, bad script.. bad movie even if it was in 2005
Marvel must really love being tarred with off-the-mark tweets like these every time *Sony* shows that they have no idea what they’re doing 🙄
Hell no. It’s not even A bad movie.
Pretty low bar, if we are being honest
Yeah.
It’s a Sony movie with Marvel characters, not really a Marvel movie.
Studies show today's horror films attract mostly younger audiences of 25 years old and less with 42% women and 58% men all of whom want to be disturbed and horrified by what they see
If it's worse than Eternals then I'll give it a miss
Feige had to work as an underling on so many pre-MCU Marvel movies as the guy arguing for better representation of the source material (in both aesthetic and characterization). Now that he’s conquered the world, he still has to put up with the hacks he surpassed.
Well to start it’s Sony
It’s not a “marvel movie”. It’s a movie made of Marvel characters.
I mean, “starring Jared Leto”….are you surprised?
