I never realised the film was this bad. This review is brutal and more importantly, enjoyable.

It might help if they used the Spider-Man characters people have actually heard of

I'm not a marvel Fanboy. Or a Spider-Man super fan by any means. But even I've heard of Madame Webb. Not whoever this movie is about but the actual madam Webb. Morbius. On the other hand, yeah that one I wasn't necessarily aware of. But Madame Webb I think more people are aware of than you might guess.

The only reason I know Madame Webb is that she randomly started telling Spider-Man what to do in the later episodes of his 90's show, where she felt completely out of place and poorly explained.

I actually prefer the opposite. I don't want them to butcher Doc Ock, or do a Norman Osborn standalone. And the marvel movies show you can absolutely uplift a obscure character and suddenly make them popular.

Sony just are sucking at execution, over and over.

Honestly I liked Morbius, I thought it was refreshing that we just had a cool dark super hero movie without years of MCU baggage, stupid injokes, or meta humor.
