Martine Bancroft: “Michael, what’s happening?”
Dr. Michael Morbius: “I went from dying… to feeling more alive than ever. Increased strength and speed… the ability to use echolocation… and an overpowering urge to consume blood.”
Dr. Michael Morbius: “How far are we allowed to fix something that’s broken?”
Mentor: Until the remedy is worse than the disease.
CONCLUSION
Jared Leto is one of my favorite actors so I was very excited to see Morbius. Not knowing anything about the character I went into the movie with an open mind. Jared Leto brilliantly portrayed Dr. Michael Morbius, who is desperately trying to find a solution for his blood-borne sickness and will go to any lengths to find a cure. The film is built around the relationship between Dr. Morbius and his close friend Milo (Matt Smith) whom he met when they were 10 years old in hospital both suffering from the same deliberating disease. Matt Smith’s character is a little bland, and he’s also portraying a one-dimensional villain. The movie deserved a stronger, more menacing villain.
The plot is shallow and may not be as compelling as it appears in the trailers.
Morbius had the potential to be a great Marvel origin story. It had an original concept, a lead character that the audience can get emotionally attached to. What it lacked was depth.
