Rated PG-13 (intense sequences of violence, some frightening images and brief strong language). In theaters.\n    <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The issue is personal. Michael (Jared Leto) and his best friend Milo (Matt Smith) both have a lifelong mysterious disease that weakens their bodies and forces them to walk with two canes. Determined, he illegally experiments on himself.<\/p>\n<p>Morbius is then shocked when the trial leaves him bat-like and fanged with a thirst for human blood.<\/p>\n<p>Huh? That\u2019s like if I melded my DNA with a hippo\u2019s and was surprised that I became hungry, hungry.<\/p>\n<p>The tired and gloomy new Marvel movie \u201cMorbius,\u201d which is made by Sony and not part of the massive Marvel Cinematic Universe, suffers from chronic obviousness. Of course, Dr. Morbius (Jared Leto) is gonna become Batboy. Of course, Milo (Matt Smith) is gonna want in on the action. Of course, the character I shan\u2019t name is gonna accidentally wind up a vampire too. Director Daniel Espinosa\u2019s film isn\u2019t a disaster \u2014 just a bat-nap.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"429\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/morbius-2.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Jared Leto plays a demented scientist in &quot;Morbius.&quot;\" class=\"wp-image-21720707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/morbius-2.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/morbius-2.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/morbius-2.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Jared Leto plays a demented scientist in \u201cMorbius.\u201d <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">\u00a9Sony Pictures\/Courtesy Everett<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"688\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Morbius-jared.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Jared Leto in &quot;Morbius&quot;\" class=\"wp-image-21721366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Morbius-jared.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Morbius-jared.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/Morbius-jared.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>The tired and gloomy new Marvel movie \u201cMorbius\u201d suffers from chronic obviousness. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Comic book films are often formulaic, yes, but you need only look to last year\u2019s \u201cSpider-Man: No Way Home\u201d to see that there are ample opportunities for the unexpected. Here, there are only opportunities for Leto to be a creep and wildly contort his body. That is the most predictable part of all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMorbius\u201d is one of Marvel\u2019s growing number of antihero films \u2014 a more palatable one than dumb-as-rocks \u201cVenom,\u201d at least \u2014 about an off-putting person who develops a destructive power that he can\u2019t fully control and whom we don\u2019t know how to feel about for two hours. The viewer struggles to care.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re also aware that there are many, many better vampire stories than Count Dreckula here (check out the Netflix <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> \u201cMidnight Mass\u201d) and not much sets this one apart besides its sexlessness and lack of wit. It\u2019s closer to the horror genre than most Marvel films; however, it\u2019s never scary.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"535\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/morbius-1.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"The vampiric faces in &quot;Morbius&quot; often look like those of &quot;Buffy the Vampire Slayer.&quot; \" class=\"wp-image-21720710\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/morbius-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/morbius-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/morbius-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>The vampiric faces in \u201cMorbius\u201d often look like those of \u201cBuffy the Vampire Slayer.\u201d <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">\u00a9Sony Pictures\/Courtesy Everett<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Aesthetically it steals from a lot of what came before it. In one scene, Morbius stands in the center of a tornado of bats as a booming score blares, just like Christian Bale did in \u201cBatman Begins.\u201d When Morbius and Milo go into vampire mode, their mugs look like emo versions of Spike from \u201cBuffy the Vampire Slayer.\u201d And, come on, an experiment that turns a guy into a bat is a helluva lot like a lab accident making Peter Parker into a spider.<\/p>\n<p>Leto is at his best when he isn\u2019t flying around hissing and using echolocation. He\u2019s well-cast (all the actor needs to do to prepare to play a vampire is wake up), and you believe he cares for Milo (Smith, as we saw on \u201cThe Crown,\u201d does brat well) and his colleague Martine (Adria Arjona). However, the scenes with young Michael (Charlie Shotwell) at the beginning are better and more moving than anything that comes after.<\/p>\n<p>The cacophonous ending sets up a sequel, but I hope it never sees the light of day. Actually, considering it\u2019s about vampires, maybe I do!\u00a0\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
