Morbius

There didn’t seem to be much of a point to this flick--either in its execution, nor in its reason to be. Nor is the backstory for the characters particularly deep or all that compelling. The action sequences are okay, but not especially spectacular, and if you’re trying to make the case that the protagonist has anything special and unique about him… he doesn’t. Morbius’ one unique power, echolocation, doesn’t actually work in the way it’s depicted here (and it bears more than a passing resemblance to The Dark Knight’s radar/sonar/microwave mapping trick—so its both wrong and derivative). Maybe that’s the best summation of this film—wrong and derivative--and that’s not exactly the tagline you want to throw on the poster. I suppose this flick isn’t awful, but it is hardly necessary. Making a cinematic universe is difficult. Witness this effort if you don't believe that.
