Jared Leto is Morbius in the 2022 movie directed by Daniel Espinosa.
Plot
The project is based on antihero Morbius the Living Vampire. Morbius is Dr. Michael Morbius, a scientist who suffered from a rare blood disease and attempted to cure himself to disastrous results. Instead of being cured, he became afflicted with a condition that was a form of vampirism — the thirst for blood, along with fangs and super strength — and fought Spider-Man. Over time, however, he became a slightly heroic figure in his own right and even headlined his own comic book titles. (Filmaffinity)
Movie Reviews
“It’s just a shame this opening salvo takes itself too seriously to have much fun with the mayhem (…) The movie has too little to distinguish it from the second-tier (or maybe third?) Marvel pack, ending up as more of the same” David Rooney: The Hollywood Reporter
“Enjoy the gasp as it escapes from your throat, dear viewer. Because you’re not going to get another one, at least not from this movie. Better luck next time with the actual undead, we suppose (…) Rating: ?? (out of 4)” Katie Rife: rogerebert.com
“Boring Marvel film (…) The cacophonous ending sets up a sequel, but I hope it never sees the light of day. Actually, considering it’s about vampires, maybe I do! (…) Rating: ?½ (out of 4)” Johnny Oleksinski: New York Post
