Morbius (2022)


Ah Morbius, what a film to start this blog with. So I'm not going to break any ground here when I say that Morbius is bad. It's boring, it feels like it was made in 2002, it's weird and I can't understand what anyone involved at any level was thinking. Don't watch it, it's a 2/10 at best.

SPOILERS AHEAD

So maybe I missed something but Morbius is like "I'm going to use this injection I've created that kills bats and also humans to kill Matt Smith and then I'll kill myself", he successfully murders Matt Smith but then doesn't murder himself- is there any reason why he didn't do that or did he just change his mind about suicide without telling the audience?

Also where the hell does that final fight take place? It's like under the city in an absolutely monstrously sized place, but also the bats that Morbius became mates with earlier can get there? Unless it's different bats? Is the movie implying that Morbius is mates with all bats now? Surely not. Why isn't Matt Smith also mates with bats? I don't understand anything.

This movie also does the thing I hate most in superhero movies- same v same. Some good superhero movies have done it (Black Panther for example), but I hate watching two characters with the same powers fight. It's always boring and the hero usually wins because they just wanted it more I guess? Or maybe the power of love or something I dunno. Morbius wins because he has the power of bats and his dead girlfriends blood.

The post credits scene was confusing and weird and I don't understand how the Sony universe is going to develop. Why does Vulture get transported into a new dimension and be like, I bet this is because of Spider-Man, a teenager in Brooklyn. The Avengers are fairly well established in his world, did he think the Thanos snap was also due to Spider-Man? Also, if I arrived in a new dimension, I'd be like, where are my wife and kids? Not, where is Jared Leto, the man with vague powers who wants to kiss bats.

Also I do love teenage bullies in these films, always so unrealistic. When they showed them bullying Matt Smith as a child I had to not laugh, it's so ludicrous and just not how kids behave.

I've kicked the crap out this film a lot but honestly the acting isn't too bad and they're genuinely trying, Jared Leto isn't as terrible as I expected and I just feel like it was doomed from the start. Bad script, poor direction, poor special effects and overall just a concept and character that no one put their heart into. You can make any story work, but you have to write it well. Morbius was not written well, and I wonder if we will ever see this character again.

It was bad.

ALL THE MOVIES I SAW AND FORGOT TO REVIEW

Me when I should be writing reviews^ Alright I got a bit lazy and stopped writing reviews but I kinda wanna pick this up as it was a bit of a laugh and I’m still of to the cinema big time and seeing stuff so I’m gonna do a speed run reviewing all the stuff I’ve seen (that I can remember). Oppenheimer (2023) IT WAS LIT! He blew up a big bomb but then felt really bad about it. But I’m raging because beforehand people said you would see his dick and we didn’t see Oppenheimers dick. We did see some boobs and bums but I was promised his dick. 9/10. Barbie (2023) I sang I’m just Ken in the shower for a week. It was funny, well performed and well written. There was one rant that didn’t really land at one point, and there was no need for Will Ferrells character to exist in this movie. 8/10. Haunted Mansion (2023) Utterly forgettable, why didn’t you release this in October? 2/10. A Haunting in Venice (2023) I poo’d my pants! It was much better than someone’s bloody died on the Nile. I had fun a...

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Lokimania

  I called this review Lokimania which I now realise may be misleading, given the distinct lack of Loki, but you needed reminding to watch Loki, or at least refresh your little mind. This movie was the definition of MID in my opinion, more like bloody Ant Mid: QuantumMIDia. There was a couple of decent moments, one joke I enjoyed was at the end, but for the most part this movie is weirdly light on jokes. Oh I'm just gonna spoil this by the way, it's like a 6/10, it's just a movie. LITTLE ANT SPOILERS AHEAD Alright so Modok was weird right? With his little bum and massive head? I don't think I liked it! But I think that was the point? I dunno, that all was weird and his death was weird. Oh the one joke I liked was at the end when he was having this realisation like "wait is all this terrible stuff gonna happen... Nah it'll be fine". That was a good joke I liked it. I am being so lazy with this review but the movie was lazy too, it was just a movie, like it ...

69 (2023)

  Ok so disclaimer I watched this on a plane lol. But I promise I was locked in! Gave it my full attention and didn't let my opinion be affected by the actual human shit that was my in-flight meal. Okay so bloody ages ago, an alien humanoid species (just humans tbh) do some travelling about and Adam Driver is one of them but then oh no they got asteroided out of space and crash land on earth but Christ on a bike it's during dinosaur times. It was really nice to watch a film about dinosaurs without Jurassic being in the title, I'm gonna start there. Adam Driver and a young girl (not his daughter) are the only survivors. His real daughter is dead, which is sad. It's also sad that Adam Driver is a bit stressed in this film for all of it, bloody dinosaurs all over the place, pricks. The young girl is annoying but real young girls are annoying so I guess that's a good acting job? She also doesn't speak English, so has a hard time communicating with ol' Adam. Adam...
