Morbius Twitter Review: Netizens leave mixed reviews for Jared Leto starrer

Sony and Marvel announced Jared Leto as Morbius, a new anti-hero in the Morbius villain universe. Daniel Espinosa directed the film, which depicted the actor’s ambitious quest to heal his uncommon blood illness, which turns him into a living vampire with an insatiable appetite for human blood. According to reports, this is the third instalment in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe.

However, Morbius also starred Matt Smith, Adria Arjona, Jared Harris, Al Madrigal, and Tyrese Gibson, in addition to Jareb Leto. The movie trailer received a lot of positive feedback from fans, who applauded the impressive visual effects as well as the cast’s performances. After seeing the film in theatres on April 1, 2022, netizens had, even more, to say about it. Given that it was Jared Leto’s first solo leading role in a big-budget Hollywood picture, there was a lot of buzz about the project. The character was supposed to feature in the 1998 picture Blade, but his sequence was removed. Morbius would not appear in a film for another few years. Interestingly, Morbius was first announced in 2017 and went through a lengthy director search before deciding on Espinosa.

Meanwhile, after the movie was released, fans took no time to leave reviews on their Twitter handles. While one wrote, ”Loved every minute of Morbius Jared Leto is on fire! Ignore the critics and the haters, grab some popcorn and enjoy!”. Another dissatisfied viewer wrote, “Morbius just isn’t very good. Parts of it, some creative action or horror-ish sequences are actually cool… but the story feels flat, simple, messy, and dated.”

Morbius started ok, but the more it went on, it crumbled into everything I feared it to be. This is one of the most predictable films…. Maybe ever. The editing was very messy and The action did nothing for me, the CGI didn’t help nor did the choreography. pic.twitter.com/2451Mjj4y9

Well, #Morbius is about as bad as you were expecting. A 2005 plot collides with visually confusing CGI to create a bit of a snooze fest. But don’t worry, they’ve saved the worst for last. Featuring some of the worst post credits scenes you’ve EVER seen, Sony are off their rocker. pic.twitter.com/TMfVpq95Tn

Just watched Morbius & gosh the tears in my eyes. The plot, The themes, the characters, the dynamics, the drama, the lore, the emotional moments…everything was garbage from beginning to end. On my way to the hospital, definitely the worst movie I’ve ever seen pic.twitter.com/YoiVFjRN5e

#Morbius as a character was one i enjoyed, Leto did great. & I want to see him again. The film around him was a botch, lack of storytelling due to a ridiculous urge to race to the end credits. So much felt cut, affecting the film’s Flow. I’m getting more hurt that Sony messed up. pic.twitter.com/dJLacXSmPB

Matt Smith must have had severe back pain from single-handedly carrying #Morbius pic.twitter.com/4678v0zLyx

Morbius isn’t as bad as people are saying it is. Writing and plot are pretty trash, but not gonna lie the action sequences were pretty solid, enough to keep me entertained a bit 5.5/10
