Tied into the highly lucrative Spider-verse, Morbius stars the divisive but frequently compelling method specialist Jared Leto as a scientist crippled by a blood disorder whose self-devised cure turns him into a vampire and forces him to try to control his bloodlust. His similarly crippled friend, erstwhile Doctor Who Matt Smith, acquires the cure/curse too, and the rest really writes itself. As usual, tiresomely protracted CGI fights abound and a post-credits scene dangles the prospect of a sequel, despite this film's poor commercial and critical success. File alongside Tom Hardy's Venom films: some isolated merits, but overall just for Marvel completist fanboys.
4/10
