Morbiushas no reason to exist as an actual movie, but maybe thats why it worked for me.

Smiths eyes arent haunted like Letos; theyre hungry.
But they also seem meant for each other, since opposites attract and repel in equal measure.
Mad-scientist movies always give us protagonists who grow to belatedly regret what they have created and/or become.
But guess who else gets their hands on Morbiuss experimental vampire potion?
(You dont need to guess; there are only like four other people in the movie.)
Milo isnt perturbed by his transformation.
He even dances a little jig after slaughtering a couple of cops on the subway.
The action scenes seem to be shot more for beauty than coherence, a trade-off Im happy with.
I have no idea, but it looks tremendous.
But see if you might watch it with an open mind.
