While Leto’s performance was praised for its intensity, the film failed to stand out in the overcrowded superhero landscape.

Morbius Review
Morbius (2022), directed by Daniel Espinosa and starring Jared Leto as Dr. Michael Morbius, is a superhero film that falls under Sony’s Marvel universe. The story follows a biochemist who turns into a living vampire while attempting to cure his rare blood disorder.
While the movie has a promising premise, blending elements of horror and superhero genres, it struggles with execution. The pacing feels rushed, the plot is thin, and character development lacks depth. Jared Leto delivers a committed performance, but the film’s inconsistent tone and underwhelming special effects fail to elevate the experience. Overall, Morbius is visually dark but narratively underwhelming.
