This overwhelmingly negative reception reflects the critical consensus of 272 reviews. Most of the criticism comes from the film's lack of structure and coherent script. Morbius, which already missed its perfect release date, moves at a rushed pace while compromising its timeline, characterization, and logic.
The original release earned $163 million worldwide, including just $74 million domestic, on a $75 million budget. It then returned to theaters with the lowest per-theater average in the top twenty, Morbius is a rare movie that essentially bombed twice at the domestic box office.
The relationship between traditional media like film and TV and their naughty cousin internet culture takes many shapes, but nowhere is it that shape more bizarre than the story of 'Morbius' – a film that flopped, and was brought back from the dead only to flop again.

This scene not only proves that Venom and Morbius take place in the same universe but also references Eddie Brock and Venom's actions in San Francisco, which have made them fugitives by the end of Let There Be Carnage.

Why does Morbius call him Milo?
Morbius explains his new nickname by claiming that all the boys previously on Lucien's bed were also named Milo, which makes him the rightful successor of the moniker.
The C+ score is the second-worst of any Marvel adaptation, ahead of only Fantastic Four (2015). Reviewing the film for Collider, Emma Kiely felt that the "central problem of Morbius is a lazy and uninspiring script" and added that "no weight or depth is given to any character."
Russell's star-studded period drama “Amsterdam” collapsed in its box office debut, earning an anemic $6.5 million from 3,005 North American theaters. The movie, which cost $80 million to produce, couldn't overcome bad reviews and minimal buzz and is shaping up to be one of the biggest misfires of the year.
Dr. Michael Morbius, Ph. D., M.D., better known as simply Morbius, is an anti-heroic antagonist from Marvel Comics, serving as an enemy to Spider-Man, Blade, and Ghost Rider. He was a biogenetic scientist who was dying of a blood-destroying disease.
Keaton's Vulture appeared in Morbius' post-credits scene, seemingly as a tease of a future team-up project at Sony. However, there was no explanation for why the character appeared in the SSU.
The violet cracks in the sky symbolize the multiverse breaking, and with this credits scene, the implication is that Morbius (Jared Leto) and his world (which includes Venom and Carnage) are one of the parallel dimensions that is threatening to bleed into Strange's and the larger Marvel cinematic universe (MCU).
During another battle with Spider-Man, Morbius succeeds in feeding on a sample of the hero's radioactive blood. By chance, Morbius is then hit by a lightning bolt at the same time.
The storylines depicted in Morbius are closely aligned with the character's original Marvel Comics narrative. With post-credit scenes hinting at more, no Morbius 2 updates have said a sequel won't be added to the upcoming Marvel movie slate — despite Morbius' negative reviews.
Morbius did not, meaning it was a flop. It actually cost ~$83 million to make and barely made double that at the box office. It fell nearly $40m short of breaking even, losing tens of millions of dollars, making it a massive flop.
Michael Morbius suffered from a degenerative blood disease that destroyed his red blood cells. Attempting to cure himself transformed him into a pseado-vampire. As a living vampire, Morbius suffers from an insatiable thirst for blood that has forced him into conflicts with many heroes, usually Spider-Man.
My biggest criticism of Amsterdam is the inconsistency in pacing and tone. It's not immediately clear to the viewer what the main point of the story is or even what genre it is. Usually within the first 15–20 minutes, a movie should establish tone and give viewers a general idea of where it's going.
Despite being legal, the Amsterdam Red Light District is a controversial area. Critics argue that this industry exploits women and perpetuates gender inequality. There have been several high-profile cases of sex trafficking and forced prostitution in the area, which have further fueled the controversy.
"Star!" was one of the most notorious financial bombs of the 1960s, the main reason probably being that when it was released the public was getting tired of musicals. Certainly, the movie itself has some faults that may not have attracted some audiences.
Cursed with uninspired effects, rote performances, and a borderline nonsensical story, this dreary mess is a vein attempt to make Morbius happen. Morbius isn't telling the most original story, but cool visuals and fast action keep things entertaining.
Imagine living in 2022 and mistaking irony for sincerity. Well, that's what executives at Sony did when they re-released the Jared Leto–led Morbius to 1,000 theaters last weekend, making just $85,000 on Friday, June 3. Overall, the movie averaged $289 in ticket sales per theater, per Forbes.
Milo proved capable of overwhelming Morbius, another Living Vampire, in high speed hand-to-hand combat during their second fight, able to easily dodge his feral attacks, as well as land a number of strikes and blows of his own.
After his initial time as a misunderstood villain, Morbius became more of a hero which set him against the likes of, Daemond and the Caretakers; Vlad Tepes Dracula, AKA Dracula; Marie Laveau; Lilith and her demon children the Lilin; Wayne Gifford, AKA Basilisk; and Phillip Hayes, AKA The Rose.
