The Marvel movie stars Jared Leto as the titular Dr. Michael Morbius, a scientist who tries to find a cure for his rare blood disease and subsequently transforms into a vampire. The movie is the third film in Sony's Spider-Man universe, which also includes both Venom movies.
The project languished in development hell for years, bouncing between numerous directors and versions of screenplays. Its release was also delayed several times due to the pandemic.
I’ve heard this is super good, so they keep having to push it back because we aren’t able to handle it yet, because it’s that good, that we need more time to evolve as a species to be better prepared to handle a movie this good https://t.co/fYfamkNQrX
So, was Morbius worth the wait? We'll, uh, let these tweets speak for themselves:
🚨 Spoilers ahead!!! 🚨
1.
Morbius wasn’t even that bad it just needed better acting, casting, plot, directing, characters, effects, lighting, scenes, structure, soundtrack, and editing
2.
having No Way having Morbius Home spoiled spoiled for you for you
3.
Actually, Dr Michael Morbius is the name of the doctor and Jared Leto is the name of the monster.

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

I just watched morbius. The movie bought tears to my eyes.The plot, the acting, everything about it was just amazing. It was so good that I left the theatres midway because it was way above my standards. Sony outdid itself , It's the greatest movie of the decade!🔥 #MorbiusSweep

Morbius? What we NEED is less bs.
11.
morbius and fantastic beasts back to back is a solid case for just not making any more movies
12.
I love how they’re perpetuating Morbius as a “Marvel Legend” when in reality he’s got about as much clout as Big Wheel https://t.co/UvMaN0Hk3b

no one wants to work anymore, people only want to watch morbius. entire theaters keep selling out to ravenous crowds watching morbius
14.
uh oh. looks like the script for MORBIUS (2022) has leaked
15.
I say without without exaggeration or hyperbole that I don’t think I’ve seen a superhero movie that’s worse than MORBIUS. I genuinely can’t think of anything I liked about it. Matt Smith was awake?

i knew morbius was already destined for disappointment because there's no way it could have topped the intimidation, drama, and sheer wife guy energy of castlevania dracula
21.
Y’all think it’s funny to trash Morbius but what if you replaced Morbius with Women.

Jared Leto looks sooooo close to human he just missed the mark by a lil bit. can’t fool me.
24.
If Sony keeps making movies as bad as Morbius then we are gonna get an Amazing Spider-Man 3 that is actually the worst superhero movie ever
