"Morbius" is out now in theaters, and the reviews for the film are less than stellar. Starring Jared Leto as Morbius the Living Vampire, an obscure villain from Spider-Man's rogues' gallery, the film ranges from entertaining to incomprehensible depending on the scene. After being delayed six times (filming ended on the project in 2019) and facing backlash over how its end credits scenes duped moviegoers, we shouldn't be too surprised. The odds were always against "Morbius" and the odds proved right.
Which isn't to say that "Morbius" is all bad; it's actually one of those movies that's so bad it becomes entertaining again. (In our latest episode of the "Take the Black" podcast, I called it "'The Room' of superhero movies.") But there were some genuinely good things to come out of the film, such as the chaotically fun performance of Matt Smith. Jared Leto, who plays Michael Morbius himself, also did a pretty solid job.
