Morbius
Sony's Spider-Man villain spinoff with zero Spider-Man connections
The brief
Morbius feels like a vampire movie assembled by committee, with Jared Leto sleepwalking through scenes that desperately want to be dark and brooding but land somewhere closer to unintentionally silly. The action sequences blur into CGI soup while the script treats basic plot logic like an optional suggestion, leaving even Matt Smith's scenery-chewing villain stranded without much to work with. It's paced like a 104-minute trailer for a better movie that was never made, all moody lighting and zero emotional stakes. Perfect if you enjoyed Venom's worst moments or need something playing in the background while you scroll your phone.
The verdict
If you have a high tolerance for messy superhero movies and enjoy them as background entertainment or unintentional comedy, this delivers plenty of CGI spectacle and campy vampire action. If you expect coherent plotting, strong performances, or any emotional investment from your comic book films, you'll find this a frustratingly hollow waste of nearly two hours.
