Morbius is a superhero movie about a doctor who splices his DNA with vampire bats to cure his blood illness only to turn himself into a kind-of vampire.
Jared Leto plays the titular hero and he's not bad but he's not particularly interesting either, he's bland as is the paint-by-numbers story in which he's in. Matt Smith the villain goes a little more ham which is fun but he too doesn't have that much to do. The supporting cast boasts some talent but the narrative in general is so thin its difficult to care about anyone.
Visually the movie is pretty impressive, the action sequences and the way Morbius's powers are displayed are pretty cool. It's really the only reason to watch this, at home, streaming for free, while you're doing something else. It's just diverting enough to half-watch while chores get done. It doesn't have enough of a personality to take much issue with.
At it's best, decent background noise.
Currently streaming on Netflix.
Stream It.
