Morbius mixes horror with superhero action, but it faced criticism for its pacing, script, and weak character development. Though Leto’s acting and the special effects received some praise, the movie failed to impress critics and viewers alike, earning mostly negative reviews. Despite its poor performance, it has attracted a bit of a cult following because of its notorious response.
