Leave your thoughts about Morbius.
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleAgainst all odds, Morbius is an intelligent, human story. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattSwedish-Chilean director Daniel Espinosa (Life) gives it all a dark sheen, and shoots the pair's inevitable confrontations less like traditional comic-book clashes than something from The Matrix. |
| Film ThreatBenjamin FranzSeek this out if you like superhero films that are especially dark. |
| Screen DailyTim GriersonThis horror-action picture offers modest genre pleasures and a consistently spooky vibe, resulting in a film that has been designed chiefly to ensure future sequels, although the story includes enough emotional shading and robust set pieces to be an engaging standalone feature. |
| New York Magazine (Vulture)Bilge EbiriFreed from the shackles of elaborate world-building or jokey, family-friendly tentpole-dom, this is a tight, brisk little over-the-top thriller, with plenty of atmosphere, effective jump scares, and a couple of genuinely moving performances at its heart. |
| Vanity FairRichard LawsonThe curious fun of Daniel Espinosa’s film is in how it embraces the gothic mythology that inspired it. Morbius does eventually become a cluttered slugfest, as all things must. But for much of its run it is a stylish, intriguingly toned story of a man trying to thwart mortality. |
| The New York TimesManohla DargisMorbius is a ghoulish, suitably downbeat tale of madness, hubris, suffering and weird science set in a world that offers little solace. And while most of it is as predictably familiar as expected, it does something unusual for a movie like this: It entertains you, rather than bludgeons you into submission. |
| ConsequenceLiz Shannon MillerMorbius, at best, will be remembered as the latest effort on Sony's part to make its nascent Sinister Six franchise happen. And, like "fetch," it's hard to see that happening. |
| Paste MagazineJesse HassengerYet there’s some kind of invisible force here, hurrying things along in the hopes of a future team-up, making sure this feature film arrives more undead than alive. |
| Original-CinJim SlotekYou do get the sense that Swedish director Daniel Espinosa really wanted to make a horror film instead of the usual super-hero origin-story-punctuated-by-carnage. |
