Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film generated various memes that ironically praised it and caused it to trend numerous times. Sony saw what appeared to be renewed interest in the film and decided to re-release it in theaters on June 2, 2022. However the memes did not translate into box office success, as the film only made an average of $289 per theater, causing media outlets to report the film had bombed a second time.

Featured review
Better Than Expected
From all the bad press and reviews I suspect that people were looking for more then it intended to be. Seeing it for free on Netflix might have dampened the pain. This is not an MCU movie. It's trying to be one in the Underworld flair. Maybe too much Underworld. One of the problems is that Jared Leto cannot carry a movie. He needs a stronger lead to work off of. When he has that he's more than enough. The subtlety of the effects works for me. The bad guy Milo was a little too one dimensional and flat. Predictable. Weak writing in that regard. Not enough character development. I can see Morbius working in an ensemble MCU cast. Hopefully he will be given that chance.
