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\u2019s character is a little bland, and he\u2019s also portraying a one-dimensional villain. The movie deserved a stronger, more menacing villain.<\/p>\n<p>The plot is shallow and may not be as compelling as it appears in the trailers.<\/p>\n<p><b>Morbius<\/b> 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.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zambia\">Zambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zambia.
