You might be wondering what it means that Dr. Michael Morbius (Jared Leto), the titular character of Columbia Pictures' MCU-adjacent semi-horror film "Morbius," is a "living vampire." The good doctor didn't have to die to become a vampire, right? Why, yes—in an effort to treat the fatal blood condition that has plagued him since infancy, he combined his DNA with vampire bat DNA.

The fusion gave him super strength, super speed, echolocation talents, and a thirst for blood that is only partially satisfied by the artificial alternative for which Morbius declines a Nobel Prize at the beginning of the movie. (What disease, you ask? You lovely, innocent child.) Simply put, he's a scientist vampire (again, you're asking too many questions). (So, like if Batman was a doctor, then? Wrong universe, but close.)

So the conventional vampire laws don't apply, right? No and yes. Using Morbius' recipe, Loxias Crown (Matt Smith), the former best friend turned fiercest foe, does become a vampire. However, we are unsure if he perished in the process. Due to several reshoots and production delays that delayed "Morbius" on its way to the big screen, that sequence is left off the screen.

Additionally, after consuming Morbius' blood, some characters experience miraculous rebirths that don't entail at all "scientific stuff," as Morbius himself puts it at one point. In short, the nature of Morbius’ affliction is messy and contradictory and not worth thinking about for more than a few seconds, a quality that extends throughout Daniel Espinosa’s misbegotten superhero/horror hybrid.

Leto's performance and the script by Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless contain all the most memorable metaphors: Vampirism as illness? Check. Addiction to vampires? Yup. However, don't expect much in terms of the development of these issues since the movie takes the look-over-there! "whenever things become challenging.

A severe moral conundrum is presented by a superhero whose murders are the direct result of his efforts to aid others. But judging by this movie, which flattens any intriguing aspects of the story of its main figure into cliched grandstanding about the responsibility of the fortunate few to save the unwary many, you wouldn't know it.

The central conceit of the story is that Morbius, a famous scientist whose research facility is supported by Crown's family riches, is carrying out experiments that are so morally dubious that everyone concerned believes it would be preferable to conduct them in international waters. That's hardly a problem, given how wealthy Crown is.

However, the first human trial of the experiment results in the deaths of eight sailors, and soon after, their remains are found on a ghost ship that resembles the one that Count Dracula is kept on at the start of Bram Stoker's novel. (This isn't "Morbius'" sole allusion to other, more logical vampire stories; the ship is called the Murnau after the Nosferatu director.)

The FBI is then purportedly looking into Morbius, who, as you may have surmised, was transformed into a "living vampire" during the procedure. The fact that he returns to his lab with his coworker and love interest Dr. Martine Bancroft (Adria Arjona) just hours after the crime, however, makes it difficult for Agents Rodriguez (Al Madrigal) and Stroud (Tyrese Gibson) to catch up with him.

The primary suspect is moving around unobserved by doing little more than pulling the hood on his hoodie in this front-page story with an increasing corpse count. But that's okay. I want to move on to something more crucial: Is the vampire stuff cool?

I'm afraid not really. The blood in "Morbius" is restricted to the crimson juice boxes Morbius chugs through and the sporadic rusty smear across a character's throat because it is rated PG-13, like most superhero movies. Additionally, despite the fact that prosthetic artists are credited in the film's credits, it might be challenging to distinguish their contributions from the overused CGI.

Although "Morbius" is not a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), it is a part of the so-called "Spider-Verse" and was produced by the same studio as "Spider-Man: No Way Home." However, it has a flaw similar to the MCU in that none of the action scenes in the movie make it clear what is happening.

If the screen isn't already cluttered by the wavy, shaky CGI trails that Morbius leaves behind—think of a cross between trippy tracers and the soot critters from "My Neighbor Totoro"—it's those dang bats. To be sure, earlier action scenes aren't much better. However, the movie's decisive combat is so difficult to follow because vampire bats suddenly appear to help Morbius clean up the horrible mess he's created.

Espinosa pauses for a midair slow-motion picture in almost every action scene, as though aware that it's impossible to understand what's happening. The issue there is that dwelling on these instances makes it clear how plainly manufactured they are.

However, in a contemporary superhero movie, the film's excessive reliance on digital effects isn't all that shocking. Smith's villain is neither of them very sympathetic. Neither is Leto's unremarkable hero, whose most notable quality is the challenging physical metamorphosis the actor endured for the part. No, the one truly unexpected—and thus most disappointing—aspect of "Morbius" is that it is a true horror movie. but only for a short while.

A nurse wanders alone along a spooky, deserted hospital hallway in the middle of the movie, setting off a number of motion-activated sensors as she goes. The attention is drawn to the spot where it vanishes into the horizon when a light suddenly flashes farther down the hallway. a form! The nurse sees the intrusion and flees, her lights flashing. When she pauses to gather her breath, a terrifying hand appears at the bottom of the screen. She yells.

The woman's prone body and the shadowy figure hunched over her are all that are visible when the camera slowly draws back and lingers as each individual puddle of illumination blinks out. Finally, that light also goes off, leaving the screen completely in the black.

Dear viewer, enjoy the gasp as it leaves your throat. Because, at least from this movie, you won't receive another one. Next time, try your luck with the real undead, we suppose.
