Morbius (2022) - Movie Review

 Morbius - I Like the Part is When We Came Together and Pretended to Like this Movie

Rating - 1/10

"It's Morbin' Time!"

    Morbius is the kind of movie that makes you question every creative decision that went into making it. From start to finish, it feels like a studio experiment that escaped the lab before anyone remembered to give it a soul. Jared Leto, in all his method-acting glory, delivers a performance so dry it could turn a vampire back to dust. He walks through the role like he is too cool for it, yet somehow still manages to overact at every turn.

    The story itself is an incoherent mess that tries to balance tragedy, science fiction, and superhero action but fails miserably at all three. Scenes jump around with no rhythm or emotional weight, and the dialogue sounds like something generated by a malfunctioning AI. The movie wants to be dark and edgy, but it ends up feeling like a parody of itself. Even the action scenes, which should at least be fun, are buried under murky CGI that looks unfinished. The supposed flying sequences look especially bad, with Morbius zipping around in a cloud of purple mist that makes it impossible to tell what is even happening.

    Matt Smith is the one saving grace here. He seems to understand that this movie is ridiculous and leans into it, at least bringing some energy to the screen. Leto, on the other hand, treats every line like it is Shakespeare, which only makes the nonsense script more unbearable.

    And then there is that post-credit scene. The Vulture suddenly showing up out of nowhere, trying to tie Morbius into the MCU, is one of the most confusing and desperate moments in recent movie history. It feels like Sony wrote it five minutes before release and just hoped audiences would not think about it too much.

    The effects are bad, the tone is all over the place, and the story is boring beyond belief. Morbius is not just a failure, it is a fascinating disaster that became a meme for all the wrong reasons. Every time someone says “It is Morbin time,” it is not out of love for the film, but because the movie is so terrible it became ironically legendary. Sometimes movies are so bad they are fun to watch. This one is just bad.

Civil War (2024) - Movie Review

Civil War - Another Gripping Alex Garland Film Rating - 7/10 “They’re not the good guys. We’re not the bad guys. We’re just trying to tell the story.”      Civil War is a gripping and unsettling film that imagines an America torn apart, not through some far fetched science fiction lens, but through the eyes of those trying to make sense of it, journalists on the frontlines. Directed by Alex Garland, this film does not hold your hand or over explain its world. Instead, it drops you into chaos and asks you to observe, to feel, and to interpret what you see. It is intense, grounded, and deeply uncomfortable in the best way possible.      The cast delivers sharp and believable performances that make the story feel almost too real. Kirsten Dunst gives one of her most grounded portrayals, showing both weariness and courage as a photojournalist who has seen too much. Her quiet strength contrasts beautifully with the reckless energy of her younger colleague, pla...

Drive-Away Dolls (2024) - Movie Review

 Drive-Away Dolls - An Ethan Coen Miss Rating - 5/10 "Some trips just do not go the way you think they will."      Drive-Away Dolls tries to mix crime, comedy, and a road trip adventure, but it ends up feeling uneven and a little hollow. It has moments of charm, yet the story never fully delivers the excitement or emotional pull that it promises.      The plot follows two best friends, Jamie and Marian, who hit the road for a fresh start. What begins as a simple drive quickly turns chaotic when they cross paths with criminals and get tangled up in a mess they never asked for. The film plays with quirky humor and offbeat characters, but it struggles to keep a consistent tone from scene to scene.      The performances are solid. Margaret Qualley brings a playful energy with an accent you'll either love or hate, and Geraldine Viswanathan adds heart and relatability. There are fun moments of dialogue and flashes of clever writing, but they...

Tenet (2020) - Movie Review

Tenet - Nolan is Getting a Little Too Confusing Rating - 7/10 “Don’t try to understand it. Feel it.”      Christopher Nolan’s Tenet is an ambitious and cerebral spectacle that pushes the boundaries of what a blockbuster can be. It is bold, stylish, and brimming with confidence, as Nolan once again dives into the complexities of time and perception. From the first gunshot that moves backward through glass to the film’s explosive final act, Tenet demands your full attention and never lets up.      The concept of time inversion is both fascinating and overwhelming. Nolan constructs a puzzle that feels like it is folding in on itself, and while the science might not always add up, the sheer audacity of it is thrilling to watch. Every scene feels meticulously crafted, from the choreography of reversed fight sequences to the massive set pieces that blur the line between forward and backward motion. Visually, the film is stunning, and the practical effects and...
