Morbius is a 2022 American superhero horror film based on Marvel Comics featuring the character Morbius, the Living Vampire, produced by Columbia Pictures in association with Marvel. Distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing, it is the third film in Sony's Spider-Man Universe (SSU). Directed by Daniel Espinosa and written by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless, it stars Jared Leto as Dr. Michael Morbius, alongside Matt Smith, Adria Arjona, Jared Harris, Al Madrigal, and Tyrese Gibson.

Plot
Biochemist Michael Morbius tries to cure himself of a rare blood disease, but when his experiment goes wrong, he inadvertently infects himself with a form of vampirism instead.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) One problem with the movie is that due to runtime being at 104 minutes, the pacing is rushed, so it makes the movie hard to follow at time and felt like it was dragging on and on and it felt like 2 hours in our mind.
 * 2) While it is to see that Michael Keaton reprises his role as Adrian Toomes / Vulture for five years, many people were confused, as Michael Keaton is playing the same character from Marvel Cinematic Universe.
 * 3) Also, supposedly, this is due to Doctor Strange's second spell in Spider-Man: No Way Home that erases everyone's memories of MCU Peter Parker, except that's not how the spell works. The spell was meant to return people from outside the MCU back to their home universes.
 * 4) The problem is that Toomes is from the MCU, which means he should have stayed in the MCU with only his memories of Peter Parker erased instead of being transported to the SSU, making it plot hole.
 * 5) Uninspiring and ugly visual effects and aesthetic, especially The Spider-Man graffiti that is quite blatantly a screenshot lifted directly from Spider-Man.
 * 6) A young Michael Morbius being stomped and beaten by bullies due to his rare blood disease is hard to watch.
 * 7) The CGI for vampire Morbius' face is very sub-par that looks like it was from video game cutscenes, like PS3.
 * 8) Jared Leto was a poor choice at playing as Michael Morbius, since it sounds like he was sleepwalking and lifeless.
 * 9) Clichéd, lame and unexciting action sequences, especially the scene with the boat.
 * 10) Very atrocious and groan-inducing dialogue that sounds like if its written by teenagers or child.
 * 11) Laughable post-credit scene with Adrian Toomes wearing back in Vulture suit in terrible cgi due to reshoots.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Matt Smith does a good performance as Milo as he brings a lot of energy and loudness to his role as the villain.
 * 2) Despite being generic, Morbius's vampire makeup look pretty good.

Reception
