Review of Morbius (2022) by Zeldanerd — 12 Apr 2022

NO SPOILERS.

Full disclosure, this is a terrible movie, and if you're not a fan of terribly written, stupid movies with no logic, you won't have any fun with it. But me, I absolutely loved this movie, I legitimately had a BLAST with it. The fight scenes were so messy but had a certain comicbook-esque charm to it, so while I couldn't tell you what happened in a couple of end-film scenes, I did have a lot of fun. I laughed more than a few times at how serious the tone and dialogue was (supposed to be), and how it just utterly failed at trying to be a horror drama. But, all that being said, I do think the movie succeeded in a few aspects, namely Jared Leto's acting was surprisingly spot on and he stayed in character, even through the cringe worthy lines. Matt Smith also did a surprisingly remarkable job in the movie, delivering a very entertaining over the top performance. Smith very clearly understood the kind of movie he was in and did a very good job playing that key, over the top ridiculous role. Also the movie was just very fast paced and entertaining, which worked really well for some scenes and not so much for others. My favorite scene in the movie was definitely the scene when Morbius transformed for the first time, because it felt the most like the fun, over the top gruesome movie it was supposed to be (damn pg-13 rating). Although the story here is very by the books, and the writing is downright abysmal, I had a lot of fun with this movie, and if you think it's the worst piece of s**t you've ever scene, then I get that. I just had a lot of fun with this movie, and the post credit scenes were very confusing and extremely fun at the same time.
