Dangerously ill with a rare blood disorder, and determined to save others suffering his same fate, Dr. Michael Morbius attempts a desperate gamble. What at first appears to be a radical success soon reveals itself to be a remedy potentially worse than the disease.
What critics thought
One of the most widely panned superhero films in recent memory, Morbius drew near-universal criticism for a thin, incoherent script and lifeless direction, with the post-credits scenes becoming a particular point of mockery for their baffling attempt to connect to a larger universe. A small minority of critics found modest enjoyment in the film's horror-inflected tone, and Leto's committed performance split opinion sharply — some found it the film's only asset, while others felt his po-faced intensity only deepened the film's problems.
“central problem of Morbius is a lazy and uninspiring script”
Emma Kiely·Collider
“It looks like Morbius might soon cross paths with Spider-Man in one universe or another, but that would be a big step up for him, because his introductory vehicle feels more like a just-average 1990s vampire movie”
Richard Roeper·Chicago Sun-Times
“hits the right notes of fear and longing in a surprisingly restrained performance”
Leah Greenblatt·Entertainment Weekly
“This is confusing stuff, and the appearance of Keaton in a pair of [mid-credits] scenes does little to help the sense that Morbius is mostly incoherent, or at least very at odds with whatever it's trying to say”
