Critics consensus
Cursed with uninspired effects, rote performances, and a borderline nonsensical story, this dreary mess is a vein attempt to make Morbius happen.
Audience consensus
Morbius isn't telling the most original story, but cool visuals and fast action keep things entertaining.
What resonated with audiences
'Morbius' has been met with mixed reactions, highlighting both its flaws and merits. Critics point to a weak script, poor character development, and underwhelming performances, especially Jared Leto's lead role. The film is faulted for its pacing issues, plot inconsistencies, and subpar special effects. Some argue its PG-13 rating limits darker genre exploration.
