Morbius
SCORE: 65
I am so thankful I had the money to purchase a copy of Morbius on
DVD. This Sony created Marvel movie flopped at the theaters. Internet
trolls convinced Sony to release Morbius for a second time. It came back
out at theaters and flopped again. I completely expected Morbius to be a
complete and total train wreck. Morbius surprised me because it is not
horrible. On the other hand Morbius is not that great either. In a lot
of ways Morbius is the typical Sony super hero movie.
There will be spoilers in this review. Michael Morbius has a disease
where he must get a blood transfusion to stay alive. He has a friend
from his youth that also has this disease. This friend has all kinds of
money and uses it to fund research to find a cure. Dr Mobius decides to
use bats to cure them. After many tests he succeeds. There is one small
problem with the procedure. The side effects are horrible. He must keep
consuming blood to stay alive. Then there is the problem of his
benefactor and friend Milo.
Morbius earns wonderful powers thanks to the serum he devises. Improved
hearing, echo location, flight, and more. He can quickly drain the blood
from a human being. The feds are interested in him because of the dead
bodies that appear around him. The issues families will have with
Morbius are violence, blood, bad language, lack of attire, enticement to
lust, and more. The vampires are pretty scary in Morbius.
My biggest problem with this movie that lasts 104 minutes is how choppy
it is. There are so many things left unanswered and not explained very
well. Where did Milo get all his money? There is a reference to a
Russian mad at him for allegedly cheating during gambling. That might be
the answer. Dr Morbius love interest is also not explored properly. He
turns her into a vampire and kills his friend in the end of Morbius. How
did both of those work exactly?
The end credits has two scenes that are very interesting. How does
Morbius know about Spider-Man though? Why would he want to team up with
the Vulture? Motives are important and Morbius forgets about them too
often. When the FBI catch Morbius it makes no sense. He is on the roof
and the cop takes an elevator or climbs all those stairs that quickly?
Morbius feels like a lot of disconnected scenes put together to make a
movie. There were obviously too many cuts.
