Morbius first reactions are here and wow, things are not looking good for this long delayed Sony film. Critics are saying it is an absolute mess.
Morbius First Reactions
Morbius has now been screened and the first group of reactions are not good at all. Those who have seen the film seem to be confused and annoyed, stating that the editing, script, and CGI are a complete mess. And the end credit scene? Well, apparently it just confuses things even more. Where does Morbius lie? The Marvel Cinematic Universe? The Sony-verse? Both? Only time will tell but it seems like this one should have been shelved instead of delayed.
Read on below to see what viewers had to say in these Morbius first reactions.
Well, #Morbius is about as bad as you were expecting. A 2005 plot collides with visually confusing CGI to create a bit of a snooze fest. But don't worry, they've saved the worst for last. Featuring some of the worst post credits scenes you've EVER seen, Sony are off their rocker. pic.twitter.com/TMfVpq95Tn

In #Morbius Matt Smith gloriously hams up the place and Oliver Wood delivers some visual flare to the action sequences.
Aside from that, the bad plotting & messy cgi, confusing editing & worse sound mix result in absolute incoherence

#Morbius proves that no matter how many famous faces or shiny visuals you squeeze in, Sony will always find a way to impressively misunderstand basic storytelling pic.twitter.com/Jxf8bPzi57

Well #Morbius is unfortunately not great (some really shoddy vfx & 00s formulaic plot) & definitely not as fun as Venom. Really confused at the future of the Sony Spiderverse following the post-credits scenes & the editing 🤷‍♀️ Matt Smith is clearly having a blast though! pic.twitter.com/ZCz8aLeUL0

#Morbius is the closest Marvel will come to Another Round, Michael Morbius topping himself up with human blood. It ain't great by any means. Jared Leto should have played it as Paolo instead while Matt Smith tries his best to inject some fun into proceedings. pic.twitter.com/UzCkKGmu4z

Morbius is just as disjointed and boring as you expected it to be.
Clearly butchered in an edit by a studio who had no clue what they wanted to do with it – not that there's a good film trapped in there.
Mid credits are a joke but stick around if you like rolling your eyes pic.twitter.com/XxDvgYYWPF
