Better than expected - 17% is too low


I'm not surprised at the critic score though considering Leto's reputation for hamming it up as well as being an overall d-bag. Critics will let him have it when they get the chance, and as okay as Morbius is, it's not good enough to make the critics hold back.

That's what I have been seeing a lot of. Not great, but not as bad as critics are saying. I heard it's better than Venom.

Finally saw it last night (waited till discount Tuesday). My humble opinion: Venom was entertaining but disappointing, Venom II was pretty bad, Morbius is worse.

I've gotten pretty good at giving movies a break if they entertain me, but this one did too much wrong to get a pass. Sigh. Ah well. . .

I've heard several people say they enjoyed it. A couple on the radio just a few minutes ago, as a matter of fact. Sorry you didn't though. That's the worst. Going to a movie and not liking it. Such a bummer/waste of time.

I liked Morbius the same as Venom. Both gave a good enough setup before all the CGI began. Hardy did a better job carrying the first part of the movie than Leto did, but Morbius had a slightly better villain.

I think I'd go Venom > Morbius > Venom 2

I liked it but would have preferred a different antagonist. The Antagonist Milo was not in comics.

why do we use RT as a barometer as to the quality of a movie? the only way to honestly judge a movie is by the box office. that being said, Transformers 4 made 1.1 billion and has a RT score of 17%.

Morbius is 16%

It’s interesting that Morbius has been panned by critics yet the abysmal Wonder Woman 1984 is close to being fresh with 58% on rotten tomatoes.

I’ve not seen Morbius yet but I can’t imagine it being worse than Wonder Woman 1984.
