Morbius [Jared Leto]

Cotts72

Was looking forward to this all along but reviews are leading me to think that it may be worth waiting for a streaming release

The White Wolf

Sony singlehandedly dismantling many fond childhood memories from the 90s TAS and the worst thing is that there's more to come. How the fcuk can Amy Pascal and Avi Arad get away with this bollox.

Is the film that bad?

Saw it today with low expectations and it was fine, weak 3/5

Well, perhaps to no great surprise, Leto gotta Leto; in this instance, pretending to be disabled, even between shoots to the extent he was given a wheelchair so he could go to the loo quicker 🤦🙄

Agent Coulson

Just like the Vemon films it's a hit at the box office so there will be no stopping Sony making more.

Hit simply by sheer scale. It got beaten to the top spot in every major market it was released in that also saw the release of sonic the hedgehog 2 (UK, France, Germany, Australia) and in most of those market it got beaten comfortably. It made 4 million in the UK, Sonic 2 made 6.5. In france 2.7 million to Sonic's 5 million. It only comes out on top because it opened across south america, the middle east and Asia. While Sonic 2 only opened in a number of european markets and australia (where again Sonic beat it)

And Fantastic beasts 3 is dropping after Sonic leaving it 2 weeks in the us box office with 2 bigger films ahead of it to scratch together enough before Dr Strange comes in and pushes it out entirely at the start of May. It's not going to make it.

I remember a friend saying a couple of years ago: "Well, I'm glad that Leto's film career is taking off. It means we won't have to listen to any more God awful Emo tripe"...... At this stage, I welcome back "30 seconds to Mars"

My gods this was dreadful.

How does Jared Leto keep getting work? I know his a big deal back in the emo band days but bloody hell.

That was awful how does leto keep getting lead roles

Muck absolute muck.

Only manage an hour and had to turn it off.

It felt like big sections of the movie were chopped out and just jumped to the next section of the script.

If this was a made for TV it would still be terrible.

I'm done with these super hero type movies because they are ALL terrible.

Ah in fairness this one is a pretty clear outlier in the genre... it's like if some random person off the street half-watched a few other superhero movies while scrolling their phone and decided to have a bash off it themselves. It's just bland and empty, without any charm or personality or reason for being.

Unfortunately the same lads wrote Madame Web, so I'd say that's a nailed on bust as well. They also wrote Gods of Egypt, which is another dumpster fire. One of their surnames is "Sharpless", which kinda sums up their writing. Blunt and devoid of craft. Why do lads this bad get given big money projects like this?

As one tiny little bright spark, I did think Matt Smith was decent though.

I liked Matt Smith hamming it up Nic Cage style, best part of it

is this bad in a good way or just bad? I enjoyed God's of Egypt, it was camp non serious easy watching, dislike most marvel films though as they are soulless
