Morbius

************Spoliers*************

I don't understand why the world needs to hate on Jared Leto. I think he's a very well-rounded actor and does his role to a T. It's not like he's some sort of blanket actor like Tom Cruise who can only do action movies and make the same face in every movie and scene he's in. Jared Leto actually takes his time to learn his character and there's such a difference between his Joker and Morbius. They very different characters and he proves it.

 Now moving onto the movie I genuinely enjoyed the movie from start to finish. I will say that I am probably a little biased because I am huge on vampires I can watch almost any vampire movie and love it. Hell if I can be one I would. The only thing that I think bothered me was that it was an origin story. Now wait wait wait, hear me out before you just start throwing shame at me, like some cheese shame wizard (yes, a Big Mouth reference). I am genuinely just tired of our superheroes having origin stories. I feel like all of those origin hero movies, especially the ones owned by Disney should be on Disney+. They are going to be the same type of story rinse and repeat. Our hero is going to be normal, have some sort of ailment, or weakness. Then they get stronger by something and then on top of that they're going to not know how to use their powers and fuck up a lot and something or someone that is close to them is going to push them forward because now that someone or something starts to act villainous and they realized they can change the world and not themselves, boom hero born. I genuinely rather see Heroes be heroes when it comes to the big screen that is. Now don't get me wrong I thoroughly enjoyed Morbius like I said. The directors actually paid homage to his original colors towards the tail end of the movie. The story also flowed very well I was not confused I was not lost on any part. They did seem to gloss over a few things like as soon as his girlfriend turned we didn't see any more of that or her I'm sure that's just the setup though for the next movie. Also how his friend decided to take a vial without us knowing but I think that was cool and part of the mystery because we were wondering if our main character was actually killing people that were close to him. But I can understand the director's point of not immediately telling the viewer about any of these things it would almost kind of start to feel like he was being blatantly obvious as if to say the viewer was unintelligent. As I'm sure i can speak for most viewers we don't want to feel that way at least not anymore. So I can simply respect the creative decision to gloss over a few things. In conclusion overall I would give this movie an 8 out of 10. If I wasn't a vampire fan maybe a seven and a half out of 10. Again my only reason for not giving it full marks was simply because it was just another origin story and I'm already wanting more from that character.

Later nerds till next time!
