Morbius is the Sony Marvel universe’s first major disappointment. Our review:
Sony's Marvel universe has kicked off its 2022 slate of feature films with Morbius, starring Jared Leto as the titular Dr. Michael Morbius. The film experienced multiple delays due to the pandemic. It was originally meant to be released in March 2021 and then in October of the same year and now, finally, a full year after its initial release date, it is finally seeing the light of day. And let me be the one to say: I could have happily waited another decade.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Similar to the inception of the Green Goblin, Michael wakes up in the lab as a murderous superhuman vampire. His face is transformed into a terrifying creature with long fangs and sharp claw-like nails. He can move at superhuman speed, crawl ceilings, and fly. There’s just one catch: he needs to consume blood every six hours.
The central problem of Morbius is a lazy and uninspiring script. No weight or depth is given to any character. There’s little humor and when it tries to make a tongue-in-cheek joke, it fails miserably. Being a villain origin story of sorts, it’s fair to draw similarities with Venom. However, Morbius lacks all charm and devotion to its main character, hoping that lengthy action sequences and jarring images of Leto and Smith’s animated faces will make us forget about how poor the script is.
The friends-turned-enemy trope can be an interesting and compelling catalyst for action — it’s done with some degree of intensity in Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3. What works with Peter Parker and Harry Osborn's feud is that the trilogy took the time to establish the friendship of the pair. We saw Harry and Peter go from high-school best friends to romantic rivals to enemies, making the conclusive fight all the more heartbreaking.
