While Jared Leto as Dr. Michael Morbius and Matt Smith as Milo are fun to watch, the same cannot be said about the rest of the film. movie is one The origin story of Morbius, the Living Vampire, first appeared in a 1971 issue the amazing Spider Man As a competitor to WebSlinger. Although he started out as a villain, Morbius later became the sort of flawed, Shakespearean vigilante who appears to be the default setting for comic-book heroes.
There’s enough in the story of Morbius—a genius scientist attempting to cure a rare blood disorder and turning into a vampire in the process—to merit an interesting movie. Unfortunately, it is not this. We have a confusing mess that vaguely looks like a ’90s movie, except for the fun and the flying cows (remember twister?), Of course.
There’s something sluggish about the narrative, as if everyone was filling time until a better one came along. The film begins in Costa Rica, and the sinister aspects of the place are underlined with a name ending with “de la muerte”, as we all know it to mean “of death”. The large, fleshy mercenaries who accompany Morbius are terrified and insist that they leave before dark.

Story: A doctor decides to become a vampire to cure a rare disease
Morbius sends them on their way with a wad of cash and a swarm of vampire bats – bad. Rewind 25 years ago and in a hospital in Greece. A 10-year-old Morbius congratulates his newest neighbor, who also suffers from a similar blood disorder. Coincidentally, he calls all the boys assigned to the bed adjacent to him, Milo. Never explained out of laziness or arrogance. The boys become friends. The hospital’s kind and paternal director, Dr. Emile Nichols (Jared Harris), arranges for Morbius to study medicine in New York.
While working towards a cure for his disease, Morbius creates synthetic blood, which has helped countless people, earning him the Nobel Prize in Bargaining. He declined the award because he believed he did not deserve recognition for a by-product of a failed experiment. He begins experimenting with vampire bats, trying to use their genes to correct his condition.
He succeeds beyond belief with only a few side effects – lucky people such as superhuman strength, reflexes and echolocation, and unfortunate ones such as turning into vampires with an insatiable desire for blood. Milo, who has become a billionaire for all of Morbius’ projects, learns that his friend has finally found a cure. Despite Morbius’ warnings, he tries the cure and happily embraces his dark side.
Adria Arjona plays Morbius’ aide and girlfriend, Martin, while Al Madrigal and Tyrese Gibson are two FBI agents on Morbius’ trail. Aside from Leto doing the full act (didn’t he know this was a superhero movie and not next Oscar fodder – the two don’t need to be mutually exclusive) and Smith is having a blast, secondly morbius Going for it is its length. in less than two hours, morbius Tells its monotonous story quickly with dim special effects and sends us on our way. It’s quite a pleasant departure from watching the world tickle around or blow up in kinetic bursts of energy for more than three hours.
