Review: ‘Morbius’? More like moribund. This is just batty

Let me try again: He’s a daywalking vampire, but, no, not that cool cat Blade. “Morbius” is a forgettable, often laughable, entry in Sony’s attempt to fill its own Spider-Man-adjacent cinematic universe, a poorly edited, derivative time suck — pun intended. What’s astonishing is that despite a whole movie, we know very little about Morbius. At one point, Morbius loses focus as the main guy when Smith’s rival character hijacks the film entirely. “Morbius,” a Sony Pictures release slated for theaters Friday, is rated PG-13 for “intense sequences of violence, some frightening images, and brief strong language.” Running time: 104 minutes.
