Hey fellow Morbheads, just finished my 26th viewing of the legendary film (Morbius) and I have but one word to describe the experience: Wow. The film was incredible, to put it lightly. I thought I had noticed everything there was to notice on my 10th go, but I wasn’t even close. Jared Leto’s performance leaves so much up to interpretation, and he truly builds the character presented for is in the MCU(Morbius Cinematic Universe). Every rewatch that I view just leads me further into the Morbi-hole(a term I coined just now), and I spot things I never would’ve seen on my first few gos. The world isn’t ready for Morbius - and I wasn’t either. When I say that I broke into tears every time I watched it, all 26 times, I’m not lying. I cried during the entire movie. I’m not even sure how my body is producing more tears, but I make sure to stock up on XL popcorn and 3 drinks each viewing. My tears are pure sugar water, butter flows through my veins.
Anyway, I’ll try to keep this review short, as the credits are finishing up and I’m about to go in for my 27th round, but know this; Morbius is one of the greatest movies of our generation - or better, this decade. The raw power behind each scene is only amplified by Jared Leto’s stellar performance. If he doesn’t win every Oscar available, I’ll be shocked. To say it was a masterpiece is an understatement. On my 15th viewing, I heard someone yawn during one of the dialogue scenes. I followed him up to the parking lot and decapitated him with my limited editionTM Morbius Blade. (Shop morbiusmerch.com) Please - if you haven’t already, do yourself a favor. Watch Morbius, and watch it again. And again. And again. You won’t regret it.
I was going to watch this movie until I heard critic reviews and changed my mind. But now I’ve been seeing a meme circulating online by people who’ve seen the movie, apparently the best scene in the movie is when Morbius says “It’s Morbing time” and then proceeds to morb everyone in the room.
Does this really happen? Because if this is actually in the movie, I will buy tickets immediately.
Morbius is honestly the best movie I’ve ever seen. I know it sounds crazy, but it touched me. I came thrice while watching it in the theatres. I’m so glad we finally get to see Jared Leto, my favourite actor of all time, in the role of Morbius the living vampire. I thought the plot of the movie was very entertaining and original, and I never could have seen the twists coming. This is a really good change from all this Hollywood propaganda we’ve been fed over the last few decades. The industry needs more people like Leto to play such diverse roles. I could really see myself in the character Morbius, he’s really relatable and fun and quirky. Overall, Morbius is the best cinema experience I’ve ever had and nothing will ever top it. I’ll cherish this memory for the rest of my life, I’ll remember the fabric of the seats and the sweaty atmosphere in the theatre. When Morbius first got on screen, me and the other man who went to watch cheered as loud as we could. I was so lucky to be able to have an almost empty room to see the movie so I wasn’t annoyed by exterior noises while watching. In fact, every time I went to rewatch it now that I think about it, the room was empty. My guess is that everyone was so shocked by Leto’s incredible, revolutionary and profound acting that they had to leave the room. I’m repeating myself, but Morbius is and will always be a true classic, a masterpiece between trash movies from money-hungry studios. When I tell myself I’m watching a movie, Morbius is the kind of cinematic experience I’m waiting for. It was way better than The Batman (2022) and now my favourite movie of all time, a direct cult classic. I’d recommend avidly. 11/10.
After due consideration, I have determined that Morbius (2022) is an important film, perhaps the most important film of the 21st century. What writers Burl Sharpless and Matt Samaza (the creative masterminds who penned the widely misunderstood Gods of Egypt (2016) and the vastly underrated Dracula Untold (2014)) have done here is nothing short of commendable. Director Daniel Espinosa (who also helmed sci-fi gem Life (2017)) brilliantly brings this material to life with his artful direction; the brooding and dark cinematography brilliantly conveys the theme of bats, and is at times reminiscent of the work of Argentõ. Samaza and Sharpless also made the brilliant decision to keep the length at a brisk and efficacious 1h 44m, as they trust the viewer to be intelligent enough to fill in the gaping holes in the plot (after all nothing is as terrifying as ones own imagination). This provides time for far more necessary scenes such as when the villain (brilliantly brought to life by Matt Smith) dances while putting in a well fitted suit; I found this scene in particular to be a wonderful demonstration of milo’s carefully executed character growth from a harmless cripple to eccentric vampire with the disposition of a true thespian of the silent era. Jared Leto gives perhaps his most brilliant performance since Chapter 27 (2007) as Dr. Michael Morbius. I also greatly admired the parallels Samaza and Sharpless drew between the Morbius and Nieztche’s concept of the Übermensch (certainty a rarity for superhero fanfares). I also picked up hints of Cain and Abel in Morbius and Milo’s relationship (after all, is this not a biblical story at heart?). Unfortunately, I cannot delve further into the story so as not to rotten the experience of those uninitiated to Morbius (2022), but needless to say the atypical structure of the second half can only be compared to the works of new wave directors like Godard and Truffaut. I implore any and all to seek out Morbius(2022). although Morbius (2022) seems to have completely flown over most critics heads, Audiences are responding to the film in a way not scene since before the pandemic, and I personally have complete faith that Morbious will become a cult classic in the coming years.

Morbius is, in short, a phenomenal film. It is a beauty to behold for the mind, the ears, and the eye. It is both an original and a clever homage to some of history's greatest films. It is a pioneering achievement in the art of filmmaking, one that shall never be surpassed. This film will draw you in, and it will touch you. It will make you feel a powerful range of emotions which you have never felt before. You will laugh, and you will cry. You will rage, and you will fear. You will be sick to your stomach. You will ultimately feel a satisfaction unmatched by that which you have already experienced.
Morbius is more than just a movie. It's a personal experience. The characters were realistic and beautifully written. I felt like I knew them. Nay; I KNEW them. While I was watching the film, I considered them my closest friends. Their struggles, although foreign, were also relatable. As I watched them overcome their fears and their prejudices in order to save the day, they taught me that I, too, could be the hero. It made me rethink everything I thought I knew about society, heroism, and morality.
This movie is truly a miracle. It cured my cancer, fed my starving children, and brought my grandmother back to life. Daniel Espinosa (the wonderful director of this film) is more than a filmmaker. He is a PROPHET. Mere words cannot express how thankful I am for the existence of his masterpiece. Thanks to Espinosa, we finally have an answer to the age-old question. God is real, and He is Morbius.
∞/10 stars.

When you think of the best movie ever made, the first that come to mind are Interstellar, The Godfather, Venom: Let There Be Carnage or Ant-Man and the Wasp. Well, it's safe to say that the only movie you'll think of now is Morbius (2022), starring the legendary Jared Leto (best known for his role in flawless role in Suicide Squad). Morbius is pure cinema. The acting, the cinematography, the visual effects are absolutely out of this world. There were multiple times throughout the film when I forgot that I wasn't actually there and was merely sitting in a dark, cold, lonely cinema. Every single second of the film was exhilarating, and I could feel the adrenaline shooting through my body at the speed of light. The only thing that I can think of that's negative about this film is that there weren't enough cameos from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Like where the hell was the Iron Man or Captain Marvel? Or where were the cheeseburger references? Aside from that, I think this film will be remembered until the end of time. Thank you, Jared Leto.

Molgius has his own merch too which is a great compliment to Stan lee first of all second of all they will be making morbies nft soon so ima cop that. It also features kung fu panda (another masterpiece) in the scen where mornings is trying to break out of his fast food job making onion rings and cooking peanuts over a campfire while talking to his imaginary friend SpongeBob and Patrick from the hit show looney toons and friends. This is just a terrific movie in general hardcore critics like myself love this movie and I hope everyone here does too if you don’t I’ll find your house and track you down where you live and you’ll be gone.
