Morbius is a painfully mediocre superhero origin story.
In recent years, Sony Pictures has been building out their own interconnected franchise of Marvel movies, beginning with Venom in 2018 and spanning a handful of movies, the most recent of which is Morbius. However, while Sony's Spider-Man Universe has adapted some of Peter Parker's famous villains, the live-action series doesn't have their own webhead just yet.
For their parts, the Morbius cast do their best with the material they're given. Leto's Michael is a fine hero, but he's lacking in personality and motivation. Michael starts out being dedicated to finding a cure, but once that's done, it's as if the movie doesn't know what he wants next.
As a result, Morbius isn't a must-watch entry in Sony's Spider-Man Universe. Those already interested in seeing Morbius may find something to enjoy, especially with Leto and Smith's performances. Perhaps the biggest thing the movie has going for it are its MCU connections, which were teased with Michael Keaton's Adrian Toomes showing up in the first trailer. However, these connections are rather minimal and quite puzzling.
