'Morbius is like a paycheck movie: time for Leto to punch the clock and get on the comic-book train. But this reluctant vampire has so little flavor that he’s closer to the invisible man.'
sports his signature beard and long silky black hair parted down the middle, though for a good stretch he doesn’t give off his usual Jesus of Beverly Hills glow. That’s because he plays the sickly Dr. Michael Morbius, who is cadaverous and sunken-eyed, hobbling around on a pair of forearm crutches. Morbius, a science wizard, has spent his life trying to come up with a cure for his mysterious ailment; along the way, he invented artificial blood. But now he’s going for broke.
Even if you’re not familiar with the “Morbius” comics, which first appeared in 1971, we’ve seen monsters like this one many times before — in “The Reptile” and old Tobe Hooper films, and in movies I can hardly think to name because the whole feral chompy look and gnashing vibe of Morbius the vampire supervillain and brooding antihero, while true to the comics, has a generic demon flavor to it.
At first, Morbius has no control over himself. He makes mincemeat of the mercenaries, which brings a couple of cops, the earnest Stroud and the cutup Rodriguez , onto his tail. Are they investigating a criminal mystery? Not really. A mystery requires at least two moving parts. But Morbius, though he now needs blood to sustain him, doesn’t want to be a killer; that’s his torment. For a while, the packets of artificial blood that hang in his laboratory freezer work just fine.
