Morbius' Rotten Tomatoes score clocks in as the worst Sony's Spider-Man Universe movie yet as critics slam the droll and dated effort. Sony has been attempting to make a shared comic book universe with characters connected to the Marvel webslinger for nearly a decade, finally kicking it off with the Tom Hardy-starring Venom in 2018. With the film netting a surprise box office haul, Sony moved forward with development on multiple follow-ups, including Hardy's sequel Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Aaron Taylor-Johnson's Kraven the Hunter and Jared Leto's Morbius.
Leto stars in Morbius as the titular scientist suffering from a rare blood disorder who elects to afflict himself with a form of transgenic vampirism in the hopes of curing it. Though he is cured and given superhuman abilities, Morbius finds he now possesses an intense thirst for blood, making him a fugitive as he struggles to get a handle on his monstrous new nature. Following multiple COVID-related delays, Morbius is finally coming to theaters this week, though audiences may not rush to the theater in the same vein as the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
