It’s a little weird that my 2 1/2 star rating kind of feels like a hot take. I don’t quite understand everyone absolutely shitting on this film. Jared Leto I thought was very good as Dr. Michael Morbius and I would say the opening 45 minutes or so was totally solid. There were even a couple decent horror movie moments. Plus I really loved that they used 100% practical effects in this. Well, I mean there’s some CGI, but it looks really, really good and it’s only used very, very sparingly. 😬😬. Admittedly, a lot of the dialogue is terrible. There’s very low stakes. The mid and post-credit scenes terrible.
Still, I actually enjoyed the bulk of this movie much more than I thought I would. Saw with my oldest son and his 3 best friends. They also thought it was much better than expected. I’m not gonna recommend it for everyone, but if you were interested in watching it before then you might still get some enjoyment out of it.
