Vampire bat? So, if he spliced his DNA with a fruit bat, then he would have to constantly drink lemonade? I want to see that movie
Your comment made me think of this old 80’s cartoon Count Duckula

Mo Citrus
I’d watch the hell outta that
Lol
The Fruitful Vampire
So let me get this straight : vulture gets teleported to a whole different universe and the first thing he does is magically put together a new version of his vulture suit so he can gather a bunch of people he doesn’t know to fight a Spider-Man they’ve never met?
Yeah basically
@@jamesjames7601 …………….brilliant. Way to go Sony.
Well, not really. He mentions that the teleportation probably occured due to Spider-Man actions (most of NWH events ended up staying public, excluding Peter Parker's identitiy being known), BUT what he says next is "Anyways, Dr. Morbius. You and I are evidently unusual types, everyone's going to be after us, so we should hold together to", quote, "do some good". There's nothing like "Hey let's kill Spider-Man". They gather on the basis of being special and exiles.
Wait, didn't he eventually become friendly with spiderman?
@@theitalianalien8477 He only got off the Spidey must die train because he knew Peter Parker. After NWH, that motivation to not go after Spidey/Pete would be gone
For the score, what probably happened was they used Batman Begins for the temp track, told the composer to "Just give us that," so he was forced to copy it. That happens _a lot_ with modern scores.
Truth. I bet that’s exactly what happened.
What about issues of copyright? Do they pay Hans Zimmer a royalty cut?
@@runninginsept if they just change one note then it's technically different from a legal perspective. Many people take inspiration from others. The new batman score is a few notes away from being the dark Vader theme. I kinda know because i like to compose music as well.
@@amateursoundtracker8877 damn that’s all i can hear now that you mentioned it 😂🤔
@@amateursoundtracker8877 Darth vader theme and the batman theme was composed by the same person I think,I don't think the batman theme is similar to that thou
Lol, yeah, anytime I hear young people say they're getting bored with the MCU, I'm like, "Do you have ANY idea how good you have it? You just lived through the golden age of superhero movies. The genre that was a JOKE for most of my entire life. Go watch Superman 4 RIGHT NOW and be grateful you grew up with the MCU." Then I shake my fist and tell them to get off my lawn.
You’re right, but at the same time it’s going to be difficult to sustain another 10 years of almost 90% success rate. The OG cast is gone now, they should’ve considered rebooting everything & starting from scratch again with an all new storyline
@@Bingo_the_Pug that’s legitimately a terrible idea. How do you guys just wanna see the same thing over and over
@@Buddhistsocialist Reboot doesn't automatically mean "retell the same stories," plus they literally said, "with an all new storyline." These are comic book characters with decades upon decades of source material and a number of different takes on them to pull from.
That being said, I'm glad they didn't reboot, but eventually they'll have to if they wanna breathe new life into it. The MCU as we know it won't last forever
You really brought up Superman 4 out of all of the movies you could've name... What about Superman 1&2, Batman and Batman returns, Raimi's Spiderman 1&2, Blade trilogy, X-men and X2, Batman begins and the dark knight?? All of those movies are better than anything from the MCU. I like MCU movies, but they have so many corny jokes in them, and they turned 1 of my favorite superheroes Thor into a complete JOKE!
The best superhero movies are the dark knight, logan, Spider Verse no mcu movies come close
Hot damn! I haven't heard Dan absolutely trash a movie like this in a looong time.
Reminds me of Movie Fights.
Hoot hoot, y'all!
Also check out his review for the new Texas chainsaw massacre. He hated that one
The movie wasn’t that bad at all. It was just rushed. And tyrese? A cop? The cops were the most out of place in this movie
OWL NATION, baby!
Watched it today. I think the people writing this film were like :
"Let's make a film about Morbius the vampire!"
"Yes, great idea."
"We could have him be very sick, then get some bat blood and he then turns into a vampire!"
"Brilliant, what then?"
"Oh........"
Morbius and The Batman - two bat-related superhero movies that couldn't be more different in vision, intent and execution.
I mean, this is exactly what I expected. The trailers have looked awful and I’ve never thought it was gonna be good.
I have that same opinion.
I'm in the same boat. Ive never cared for Morbius as a character and I felt like giving it to someone who has already botched a comic book role was baffling. So when the trailer took itself way too seriously I was like "okay, I'm out"
I didnt think the trailers looked bad, but i did get a sense we see a lot of "better" scenes from the movie.
@@joelzedney4299 Exactly. Dan already said the trailer is different than the lousy movie. Trailers weren't bad.
@@joelzedney4299 I saw the movie already I wanted to walk out and there were still one hour left
The trailers didn't even impressed me. It looked bland, uninteresting, and a mess. I'm not surprised that this movie ain't gonna be that great. The previous Venom movies have been very dissapointing so I guess Sony is consistently making a dissapointing cash grab movies in this universe. Such a shame
I honestly think it's better than the venom movies, which i didn't personally care for. It's ok, something to watch, nothing to write home about
The way he’s powers looked were the only thing that looked decent to me was hoping we’d see them a lot since Venom both the CGI and movie in general looked below average for me
Yup and people are supporting this Sony movies
Fastest I’ve clicked on a review lol. I’ve already heard things!
Same here.
Saaaaame!! The face said it all
Same lol.
Yeah! 😂
You know what the issue is? Instead of crafting a movie with its own identity, they went all in on trying to tie it to a larger universe. Not all of us want that. I just wanted a cool Vampire movie about one of my favourite Marvel characters, they could have made it a homage to the old Christopher Lee Hammer films, they could have done SOMETHING, just anything to give it a sense of identity, but it was apparently more important to follow this same tired old cookie cutter formula.
8 seconds in and I’m already loving this review.
More like "More-BS", amirite?
When people talk about the good old days of comic book movies a reminder that 90% of them looked like this. Thanks for this review. I lowered my expectations but apparently not enough.
The more intriguing thing for me is I wish I could see the movie we were SUPPOSE to get. All those clips with Keaton was clearly building this movie to be something else, and it looks like something must have happened that made them shift the whole purpose/plot of this movie last minute.
"It both rushes and drags" 🤣 ok with the pun at beginning and the Whiplash reference, this is why I love your reviews. Not only are they very eloquent and helps us know if a movie is for us or not, they are highly entertaining.
I can almost smell the Avi Arad on this one.
Thanks for the review, Dan! I only wish that the film was better. I am still going to check it out (eventually) but our tastes are very similar so I'm lowering my expectations down to around Electra and Catwoman. Oh well.
Hahaha. It was not bad at all. Electra
And cat woman? They were terrible. This movie isn’t bad at all. Why does this move have to have Spider-Man references to be good?
Thanks, Ryan! I still haven't seen it yet, so your comment gives me hope :)
This verifies that I can continue to laugh at the person who told me Morbius would be better than The Batman.
I guess bedtime can wait another 14 minutes.
Speed thé vidéo it’s 7 minute
The trailers had me worried it would be a bad 2000's comic book movie and it seems it is exactly that or maybe even worse. The whole thing stinks of executives with zero understanding on the character matching pieces of older comic book movies trying to create what they believe will make more money and end up building a weird Frankenstein.
Hey Dan, do you think its going to be anything similar to Venom's reception that its going to defy bad reviews and potentially earn a mainstream crowd that finds it laughably enjoyable?
Well, as one of those who found Venom laughably enjoyable, signs don’t look good
@@DanMurrellMovies ok good to know thanks😅
@@DanMurrellMovies because then I'm going to take itself so seriously and it knew it was a fun goofy time
Yeah, as someone who loved venom this film fell short of my expectations :/
I like it better than the second venom movie at least
I wasn't watching Morbius in theaters unless there was a glowing review from Dan. So status quo for me. Though I admit curiosity as to the monkey paw agreement Matt Smith had. Hes a great actor.
Saw it and liked it. I Say see it for yourself. Take what critics say about a movie with a grain of salt.
Not quite as negative on it as Dan, but yeah- this was a very average movie at best. I liked Matt Smith in the movie and thought the boat and subway scenes weren't too bad, but the CGI devolved into an incomprehensible mess and those post credits scenes were DUMB. And the Batman Begins thing is so on point. As Dan referenced earlier in the week with Mugato, I felt like I was taking crazy pills! They surely weren't using the Batman Begins theme!
I liked Matt in the movie but still felt the whole way through "my god he could have been a GREAT villain given a better script & direction".
Even Leto, despite what I may think of some of his performances, is above this and is more than capable of providing a memorable performance over this flat result.
Who decided to waste a spot on the Sinister Six roster to Morbius?
He's going to look so out of place amid all the BETTER Spider-Man villains
Someone on Twitter said it way better than I could:
“So let me get this straight : vulture gets teleported to a whole different universe and the first thing he does is magically put together a new version of his vulture suit so he can gather a bunch of people he doesn’t know to fight a Spider-Man they’ve never met? “
Think about this carnage is dead Morbious was in maximum carnage. We will never get maximum carnage because no spider man and they killed off carnage so there's no point to have Morbious team up with venom.
@@stefanfilipovits21 I thought that if ANYONE was going to assemble the MCU Sinister Six via Multiverse recruitment, it should be a Mysterio variant.
Sony again proves they cannot make good movies without Marvel's help, on a side note as a kid I always envisioned a Morbius movie to be more horror themed and would play on body horror movies like The Fly or American Werewolf In London
I'm reading an article that said Jared Leto gave all his acting in Morbius that even the director scared of him,
Then I read a comment: damn Leto gave his all for a movie that will be 20% on RT,
I can't stop laughing
You’d think he’d have learned his lesson after his joker/suicide squad debacle
It might be also a problem of the editing and reshoots. Maybe originally the movie had some merit
@@imperialtutor8687 i agree
So many red flags. And they seriously want to make Madame Web and Kraven solo films.
The movie was going to be a disaster from the get going, BUT in the moviemakers' defense, this was originally planned to come out before Venom 2 & No Way Home, so I'm sure that the movie had to be re-edited, which may have resulted in the world-building scenes that were in the trailers to be cut, bc of the delay in the release...
Michael Keaton’s scene gave off heavy “This is Katana, she’s got my back” vibes
So in other words. Sony continues to be terrible. Honestly just sell the rights to Disney everyone would be better off.
Couldn’t wait for this review!!
A vampire living in a world where humans can't be seen bleeding. Can it get even more unrealistic than that.
So, what almost certainly happened with regards to the score is that they used the Batman Begins theme as a “temp score” - this is a common practice of using scores from other films or works as a temporary soundtrack while the film is being edited. The problem is, the film director/editor/producer can become familiar with that temp score, and then ask the composer to make the score be like that temp soundtrack. So, not necessarily the composer’s fault.
Sony simply cannot be trusted to steward live action CBM properties, now. They've spent a decade and a half proving it. I hate that they own the rights to Spidey and his world.
all i hear when i think of morbius is the spidey animated version yelling, "Felicia!!"
The secretary at my Doctor’s office asked if I was going to see this. Told her no and she asked why. “If I go and see Sony’s bad superhero movies they’ll keep making bad superhero movies. How are they going to learn their lesson?”
My headcanon is that the creative team at Sony really pushed for an integration with the MCU, but that when Feige & Co (and maybe Pascal as well) laid eyes on the finished product it was a strong veto and things had to be cut. If Tom Holland is smart he'll stipulate his involvement in future Spider-Man movies by Sony requires him being able to veto tie-ins from other Sony movies, because they clearly can't hire the right people. Into the Spiderverse succeded mostly because it manages to fly under the radar, little interest from Management. I really hope Michael Keaton will not have to play a bigger part in this going forward. (And I'm glad Matt Smith has House of Dragon coming up)
Hans Zimmer is gonna be smacking somebody
And here I thought that this movie would reopen the doors for either the toby or andrew spider-man.
V. disappointed that didn't happen! Majorly wasted opportunity on Sony's part
Those post credit scenes man….
Yeeesh 🙄😕😒
I might see it out of Morbius curiosity at this point!
You’re probably better off waiting for it to hit streaming.
Ok, that was clever 👏
@@stefanfilipovits21 😎
Why bother it’s gonna be More BS anyway
I have to see it. Just to see what they are talking about. I actually read morbious and like him and I'm like how can you mess that up? He does not require spider man to exist unlike venom.
Did you watch the series adaptation of Foundation? Jared Harris' favorite thing is when his talent is wasted.
Would you have preferred this movie if it was Jared Leto playing Morbius as Paolo Gucci? I know you were a big fan of his performance in HOG.
Muffin being a support cat to help Dan get through reviewing Morbius
Dan!! I'm not even that much of a movie fan, but I'm here for EVERYTHING you do. And that opening joke is part of the reason why!! I love hearing/seeing your takes on movies even if I've never heard of them or plan to see them or not. So fun!
0:49 Writers of The Last Witch Hunter and Gods of Egypt ... Uuuuurrrgggghhhh
HAHAHAHAHAH! I've not caught Morbius but this is REALLY all I need to know about it. Thanks Dan! 🤣
Dan, I unintentionally watched your sponsor part and have to say, it was impressively well done.
I agree with you on some of what your saying, they really could have gone deeper, in the mid to last part of the movie it's like you already know where it's gonna go. Which can lose interest. However, keep in mind, if you are someone who loves Jared Leto and just loves Morbius's backstory and character it really revives alot of what the normal person misses. The mortality question, he fights so hard to help find a cure for him and his friend to just survive like a normal person and then realizes he's gone to far. I mean that's a deep issue and a heartbreaking plot. Science will always pose questions regarding morality. I understand they went a little off comic book on it but I'd give this movie a 3.5 out of 5. Once again just my opinion. I'm really dying to see the connection between vulture. But I'm also someone who enjoys the depth of the anti hero characters.
Loved the movie 🎥 as it’s simply a decent vampire film that delves deep into a troubled character that only Jared Leto could pull off
@@knownpleasures "only Jared Leto could pull off"? Are you kidding?.. Leto is such a shit actor.
Im sorry, but are you actual claiming that it's actually a decent movie if only you are a member of Leto's cult?
“Some men just want to watch the world burn.” Or in this case, a flick with already low expectations. I’m still going, and expect a multiverse of bad.
So Sony has failed again at a comic book movie, no surprise there.
Sounds like they took the worst villain plotline from ASM2 and put it on the same franchise
The end credits team up seems to be missing a film before it, Morbius isn't a antihero or villain yet, he just wants to be left alone.
Maybe, this movie is the real evidence that Marvel and Sony have really broken up.
Marvel and Sony only had a deal to co-create the Spider-Man movies. Venom, Morbius and any other spin-off Sony is planning has nothing to do with Marvel Studios.
Why I am not surprised.
Ah yes the Pre MCU Comic Book Movie, where the villain always dies at the end and the credits have a hip new track by a very expensive artist to play us out.... like Steel all over again.
Who has been greenlighting the live action movies for spiderman villains from Sony? Who is writing these scripts? Venom 1 and 2 were shitty. This sounds shitty, the idea for a kraven solo movie sounds shitty.
What is it they are thinking over there?
Just let Lord and Miller run everything spiderman over there. Mix live action and animation. Sounds like the smart thing.
So I'm going to see this tonight but it's against my will. I pre-ordered tickets for The Batman for my buddy and I and to pay me back... He.. Uh.. He ordered tickets to this... Even after I've told him it looks terrible and I have zero interest in it. Not exactly a fair trade but I'm going to try to have fun laughing at it.
I want to see more of Muffin
Me too!

Given how tiny phone cams are, you would think some techie nerd would invent a movie camera that doesn't look the size of a rocket launcher!
Morbius hits Milo with a Kamehameha of bats.
That perfectly sums up the movie. It turned into a DBZ towards the end with a super underwhelming final act. Good thing I was baked.
A comment I saw on another video "A vampire trying to survive in a world where no one bleeds"
I just watched this film for the first time the other day. I didn't think it was all that bad, no masterpiece certainly, but nothing as vapid as to warrant such an infamous reputation So, with the arrival of such gems as The Marvels and Madame Web in mind, would you like to reassess this film in any way?? You do have anything you'd like to say to Jarred Leto???
I LITERALLY CANNOT believe that Sony have made ANOTHER bad movie! Who ever saw this coming. This is what you all get for giving them money for those godawful Venom movies.
Yeah. The score. I was watching and looked at my brother and asked, "isn't this from a Batman movie?"
When I got to the end of the film and the credits started playing my immediate reaction was "wait, that's it?". The ending was just so unsatisfying, makes zero sense (see below) and didn't tie into almost any of the plot threads, like what was the purpose of the officers???
Spoilers Below
I truly don't understand Milo's plan there, he wanted to persuade Morbius that it's a gift so he decides to kill everyone Morbius cares about and then tries to kill him????? Meanwhile I don't think Morbius says a single line of dialog in that entire sequence.
Some movies can pull that off, this one juts left it feeling even more empty.
I finally got around to watch "Morbius" and I had no expectations. None what so ever, yet, I was baffled. "Morbius" is bad. It's "Catwoman" and "Batman & Robin" bad. No energy, no suspense, just a blurred mess of a Sony movie.
Yes, Dan's review AND a cat named muffin!
So disappointing. My teenage self was all about Morbius from the Spiderman animated series. Sony, please sell these characters to the MCU and stop butchering our childhoods.
Yeah, the animated morbius was GREAT. His relationship with Felicia was really interesting, his anti-heroism was handled incredibly well for a kids show, and those weird hand-sucker things he had were genuinely creepy.
This movie didn’t live up to the negative hype for me. I was expecting a real dumpster fire. Just saw Morbius and it was….fiiiiiine, i thought. Wasn’t good, but definitely didn’t think it was as bad as most have been saying. I found it kind of entertaining in a silly cheesy way. 🤷🏾♂️
Yeh man I thought it was ok,these reviews are borderline slander it was atleast a 6 out of 10 maybe even 7
This was a really good 90s camp flick. The major flaw was the lack of baroque, techno soundtrack. This was a salvageable movie. They pulled back when they should've leaned in.
Camp films are fun and quotable though. This is neither.
I had the same thought about the film telling and not showing. I remember when he meets Milo at the hospital and kind of makes fun of him a little, and then the next scene they're best friends. But we have no idea why or when that happens, we're just told that they are. And the whole movie is like that. It feels like there's scenes missing.
The whole first half felt like it was rushing to get somewhere, and then the second half just dawdled around not doing much at all. The pacing was sooooo off. The actors were fine, just the direction and writing were the things to blame.
Jared Leto has a good track record with superhero movies.
...this is a joke right?
@@tjlanglois1989 I being ironic. So yes.
Dan Murrelbius
Love that Totoro Singin' in the Rain poster.
need more of ur cats in the reviews 🥺
My friend and I do reviews, you hit every note. Additionally, we know kraven the hunter and blade are upcoming movies...missed opportunity for post credits...if blade was allowed to be referenced by the mcu. No love relationship between leads, edit problems such as the "cure" still having 2 on the table after milo leaves....its soon bad. And the post credits....
SPOILER 🚨 I couldn’t wait to see this movie. And I WAS NOT HAPPY. Correct me if I’m wrong but the beginning of the video they show him getting bit from the bats…. Just to later have the serum turn him into the Vampire…. WHAT?! It was mashed and the ending credits were completely useless.
Vulture: Idk why im here but what’s up?! You wanna kill Spider man?
Morbius: uh…. Yeah sure why not
He lured the bats with his blood and brought them to his lab
@@ryans.4715 ahhh got it
The amount of people i've seen saying 'it's not that bad' and 'it's not MEANT to be an Oscar winner' is truly disappointing and depressing. This is Catwoman-level bad. And i'm sure those mouth breathers love that film too.
The director’s resume is enough to know it’s a bad movie!
You wrong !!! Daniel Espinosa have directed Jake Gyllenhal, Ryan Renolds , Gary oldman , Denzel Washington and Jared Leto !!! That´s Quality !
@@angc1456 Dont put garbage like Jared Leto in the same sentence as those other guys. And a directors resume is not the actor that have been in their movie, it's the actual movies..
The movie isn't out, and I'm not a critic, so I haven't seen it early. However, from this review and the Fandom review I'm going to predict the movie, as has been suggested that we can.
Matt Smith, Milo, is Morbius' childhood friend. He somehow also becomes a vampire and is the villain of the movie. He is responsible for the killings that we see in the trailer that are being investigated by the police and are attributed to Morbius. Morbius will have to fight him to stop him, and perhaps probably kill him.
There's your Morbius movie from someone who hasn't seen it.
Spoilers
Good job
So we've gone from spoiling a movie major plot point with the trailer to false advertising the movie with a trailer full of omitted scenes.
I know IW and Endgame did trickery but at least it was to get fans speculation focused in a direction that would less likely spoil the movies while still being interesting.
Avi Arad and Tom Rothman strike again!
Morbius, "It threatens to get interesting, but...." Dan Murrell
I will watch it when it streams, but I am not venturing into a theater with $15 popcorn and miscellaneous viruses to see this movie. Got to stay healthy, going to a gaming convention soon.
Looks like Sony got the wrong notes. Instead of making an MCU movie, they made an average DCEU production instead. And why are we still casting Jered Leto in comic book movies? Hasn’t he hunka-hunka’d enough?
I knew it was bad from the movie poster alone. Perhaps it did give me 2000’s superhero movie, but without the nostalgia. I also just wish Hollywood would stop trying to sell us Jared Letto as an actor.
Sony has all of these characters and no idea what to do with them. It was Venom with a vampire. You take a villain, don’t give him a hero so instead come up with some generic other villain who has the same powers as him but without any moral compass and let them fight. Throw in a side dish of generic love interest and a hint of Spider-Man and release it.
Sony, just give up and let Marvel use their characters the way their supposed to be
If this movie was released 12 years ago, it might had a chance. Not today, in 2022
Between this, Venom's and Spider-Man's after credits scenes, it feels to me like Sony keep going "we're in the MCU!" and Disney are just like "No you're not!"
Well, Dan is more tolerant and forgiving with movies than I am, so if he doesn't like it, I won't waste my time! OHH and 19% on Rotten Tomatoes, ouch!!!
Rotten Tomatoes score is 16% now
low key i would just watcch this for matt smith.
Jared Leto in a bad movie?!? The Devil, you say! 😄
I’m pretty sure Jared Leto wanted to be in this movie because he wants to believe he’s a real-life vampire who never ages.
I got regal unlimited and Im still skipping this movie.
Thanks for seeing it so we don't have to. Your sacrifice is appreciated 🙏
During the pandemic Marvel switched the release order to put Spider-Man: No Way Home ahead of Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness. As a result, those two films and the somewhat related Sony films had to change around everything that had to do with the multiverse and it looks like it really shows
I’m a sucker for vampire action and my mother and I even like Van Hellsing as a guilty pleasure. This looks below even my threshold. Thanks for your review.
Daaamn that's a throwback. Van Helsing is like the most 2000s movie ever; it's hammy and cheesy and takes itself WAY too seriously and that makes it fucking hilarious. I know what I'm watching tonight.
Van Helsing is certainly a guilty pleasure and it's largely saved I think by Hugh Jackman. Put Jared Leto in that role instead and it would have been a complete disaster.
Hee hee - sucker for vampires 😁😁 Punnage
Van Helsing is vampire camp (campire? lol ) and it earns it's place as an eminently fun-yet-ludicrous movie. I disagree with the sentiment that it tries to play it straight - it literally makes fun of itself the entire time.
The editing was horrendous in this movie. Felt so choppy.
Why'd I know it would suck? 🤧 RIP Jared Leto acting career. I had high hopes. I'll probably watch it anyways.
I gave up on the Sony universe when I heard "Rolling down the street like a turd in the wind" line in the Venom trailer
🕷🚫🧛🏿🚫😔👎
