Of course, they were in the sugar business…
Of course 'The Joker' showed it could be done. Catwoman being an 'anti hero' did seem to suggest she could be an interesting character to front a film [as it started as a Michelle Pfeiffer spin off] but the 2004 film is pretty indefensible.
I liked the part when Morbius said "I am venom" and did that ridiculous roar. Truly one of the most unintentionally hilarious moments of 2022. And now Sean has to do Madame Web. Ohhh boy. I haven't seen it but I do not plan to because I could tell that it's absolutely horrendous. And so will Kraven the Hunter, no doubt. And as for Venom 3... well, we all know how that'll turn out.
@arvinroidoatienza7082 It's a toss up between Madame Web and Borderlands. Borderlands has an even lower Rotten Tomatoes score (friendly reminder that an RT score is not a subjective rating, it's the percentage of positive critic reviews).
Enough is ENOUGH! I have HAD IT with these motherf*cking Morbius memes on this motherf*cking web! Everybody strap in! I'm about to stake some f*cking hearts!
I’ve got a friend who swears blind he can remember Leto saying “it’s Morbin time” in the movie, and that the studio must have cut it out post-release 😂
That the mispronunciation of "Nobel" went unaddressed as evidenced in the final cut is depressing further proof of how we're REALLY living in the dumbest timeline.
This gives me more respect for Anne Hathaway. When she’s method acting it’s to keep her character choices consistent across long days. She communicates her needs to her cast and crew members and asks for her alone time when needed. No crazy antics, no harassment and no massive tabloid fodder. Method acting is not an excuse for being an asshole Or unprofessional.
Matt Smith's performance was a breath of fresh air. Like, if Jared Morbo was choking you for 90 minutes but every so often Matt Milo Smith would come and smack him to let you go so you wouldn't die.
Personally I find more hilarious that Sony saw Morbius and still thought it was a good idea to hire them again for Madame Web. It's like those hacks that kept writing for blockbusters in the 2010s that nobody liked but they kept getting work
@@bigbearkat2010 My theory is that they wrote both projects around the same time given 'Webb' has two other writers [one being the director] who probably worked on the script subsequently so they might well have finished working on 'Webb' before Morbius came out. It's like how Terminator 3+ 4 were worked on at the same time so they get credited for both movies [although several ghost writers worked on 4/Salvation so it's debatable how much of there work was in the final film].
Given this film, "Madame Web", and the two "Venom" movies, we shouldn't ever complain about "Spider-man 3" again. Hell, even "The Amazing Spider-man 2" looks good next to these films.
The mid-credits scene is so baffling, because Homecoming ends with Vulture having at least SOME level of respect for Spider-Man. He doesn't reveal his identity to Scorpion, and Spider-Man saved him from dying in a plane crash. So to go from that to "bro we should team up against Spider-Man" is so stupid, even ignoring the other weird elements (his suit is actually different to the Homecoming suit, when did he get time to update it?)
To expand on what's mentioned in the review, Keaton didn't know what the point of his cameo was so asked crew members who weren't able to give him an explanation as to why it's was happening!
And the thing is the film was rearranged in such a way he couldn't even name his own character. His role was originally Lucian/Loxias Crown aka Hunger, a German villain with the power of Morbius and ties to HYDRA. But was changed so much.
Morbius - a rich doctor who has never heard of a mobility scooter. And yet he's working with emergency patients. Same with Matt Smith's character. And love how a guy who could never walk and was weak all of his life knows how to swim???? The blood hitting the camera lens during that first killing spree took me out of the movie - how about you?
Fun fact: Morbius was supposed to be the villain in Blade 2, and the original ending of the first Blade movie actually showed him (albeit at a distance), but it was scrapped because they couldn't secure the rights to the character. Needless to say, I'm pretty sure the Morbius we could've gotten would've been way better than Jared Leto.
You mean the one where he had suckers on his hand to drink "plasma" because 90s cartoons didn't have the balls to say that a vampire sucks blood with its fangs?
@@DarkOverlord96 You do realize they couldn't do it because it was airing on Fox and they were strict on what they could, or couldn't do? The fact they managed to adapt him as best as he could is a miracle. He deserves Insomniac to adapt him properly.
Hooray, Leto is now currently filming a lead role in the new Tron movie. Can't wait to hear what wacky antics he'll get up to in set this time. Also Matt Smith is absolutely channelling his performance as Patrick Bateman in the American Psycho musical for Milo. It's so funny.
The origins of Morbius in the Spider-Man comics were mostly made as a loop-hole around what was allowed within the comics code at the time. The comics code in the past banned Horror Comics, supernational monsters, and stories. So the writers in response to this, got away with it by making his origins come from scientific means which is why he is called "The Living Vampire" since his powers were a product of science.
Well you're half right. By the time Morbius was created, the Comics Code Authority did start to relax its rules a little bit. However the only vampire that were allowed was Dracula.
I'd like to forget Smith was briefly Skynet in Terminator: Genisys, but there will still be gatekeepers of Dark Fate being the worst who will defend that trainwreck.

Say what you will about the Venom movie, but at the very least, making a solo film about him makes sense conceptually. He's a well known villain even to people who aren't super familiar with comics and he's theoretically strong enough to carry his own story. Even among comic fans, I don't know that many people who identify as diehard fans of Morbius or Madame Web. It begs the question as to who Sony is even making these movies for.
Plus he's been an antihero off-and-on in the comics for years and has had multiple solo-series. As far as I know, the latter does not apply to Morbius.
@@goreycinema They're made for the people at Sony who think that all villains can work as anti-heroes. Truth is they're the very a small exception. Even smaller after some of the shit Deadpool pulled in this last movie.

@@Coolcoolcooldude In fairness we've still got several months to go and worse films might come out-Cats came out at Xmas in 2019 and won. 'Web' will be nearly a year old when the 2025 Razzie's happen so it might been seen as 'old news' [although given people involved like Dakota Johnson were pretty scathing I can see them nominated it hoping they'll turn up-which they probably won't].
Well, lets not say that is all bad. Lets praise the things that worked. The abs where hot, the meme was funny, the dancing scene was very memorable. It is not Madame Web. My praise is done now. 😂
Because they added him into the Justice League film in the 'Synder Cut' he is the first actor to play the Joker in more than one movie before Joaquim Phoenix.
9:35-10:04 - In all honesty, compared to the stuff that Leto and Marlon Brando have pulled, the Hoffman incident is pretty inoffensive, because the only one he was hurting was himself. Like, I get wanting to be as authentic as possible, but my God, man, you don't have to risk your health like that! No wonder the late great Mr. Olivier said what he said - Hoffman was being a reckless fool. And considering that he and Tom Cruise starred together in Rain Man, I can't help but suspect that Cruise, having caught wind of that story, decided to take a page out of Hoffman's book and take it to even crazier extremes.
Fuqua and F. Gary Gray were approached to direct the movie before Daniel Espinosa was hired. When asked why he turned down the offer, Fuqua responded with this. Fuqua: As a kid, I grew up with comic books. They talked to me about Black Panther years ago, way back in the day. There's some reason they came up and they talked to me about at Sony about Morbius. I don't know, I have a thirteen-year-old son, so I'm watching more of that again and it's exciting to do that. I'd love to create a new one, but something that's closer to what I get excited about.
I suspect F. Gary Grey said no as he directed the disappointing 'Men in Black: International' which was riddled by studio interference and he could sense that was going to happen again here so stayed away.
Agreed. I can take Logan Michael Green more seriously as an Eddie Brock than him playing The Shocker. I don't mind Tom Hardy's Venom, but no offense, but his Eddie Brock was a pathetic simp who's the real side passenger, rather than him being Venom's ride, while Venom does most of the cool stuff, when the two are supposed to be bonded and simpatico.
As one of Morbius the Comic Book Character's five fans: they really should have embraced the gothic cheese. Also, I think the studio would have been better served by skipping the origin story and just introduced the world to my favorite plasmavore as Already Transformed.
Funny how all those pretentious wannabe "method actors" turn out to be complete assholes in real life, isn't it? It's almost as if that whole schtick is just a fake excuse for antisocial, narcissistic, sociopathic behaviour.
Before I watch this, I should say that I skimmed the plot and found two appropriate places for the phrase "It's Morbin' Time" to be used. The first was during the intro when Michael Morbius was a kid. He'd have a Power Rangers toy and that would further establish him as a fan of the series. The second time would be after he gives up on finding a cure for his vampire-like condition. It's re-contextualized as a no more holding back sort of statement. Immediately afterwards, the movie goes into a short suit up montage befitting the source material of this pun and by the end, he has a new urban vampire look. Edit: Wikipedia says that the movie starts with a ten year old Michael Morbius. Did Sean skip it? Also, feel free to correct anything else I got wrong.
There are two major things that piss me off about this movie: 1. The wasting of Matt Smith's acting, 2. And the stupid meme that will not. _Go_ . *AWAY* .
I still don't get the logic of casting Jared Leto as Morbius the Living Vampire - his behaviour on the set of Suicide Squad (which, BTW, he CONFESSED to) was well-publicized, so it's not like Sony had a valid excuse of "oh, well, we didn't know". If I heard any rumours that Morbius was some kind of Springtime For Hitler scam and Leto was basically Lorenzo St. DuBois, I'd believe it.
My heart smiles whenever I see a new video on this channel. Thank you for getting me through many nights or loneliness and depression. You sir, are DA MAN! 🙏🏾🙌🏾🤎
My favorite part was when Sean said, "It's excremin' time!" and excremtented all over the channel. And I'm calling it now: the next title has to be Madame Web.
I've seen this movie … twice! It was in the rotation for "movies on the intercity bus" a couple of months ago. Do take heart, in the Spanish dub, the voice actors correctly pronounce Nobel [albeit with a es_MX accent].
It's not the first time the London underground has impersonated a US subway system in a comic book movie, Superman IV did the same thing for the Metropolis subway and it was ridiculous then as well
Cierra De La Muerte sounds kinda like Donner Pass, where the Donner Party famously got marooned. It was basically impassible in the winter for centuries, leading to the Donner's horrible fate. But now there's a highway there, too, and you can drive over it in a half hour. Human ingenuity at work!
13:02-13:05 - Hmmmmm... I wonder why this exchange was done much better in Insomniac's Spider-Man 2. Oh, right, because we actually cared about Peter and Harry!
What makes the opening much weirder is how it feels totally innocuous and almost like a reshoot or movement of a scene from later on in the film somehow.
Weirdly enough I just got done watching Hit Man this weekend not realizing it was the same actress. When Sean said her name in the video I thought "no, that can't be her"
The Nobel Prize IS swedish, started by swedish native Alfred Nobel who invented dynamite, but it's actually awarded in Norway. I have NO idea why, and yes it's confusing. To top it all of the Nobel commitee who picks the recipient is located in Norway. Go figure.
I'll give the Venom movies this... I enjoyed watching them as throwbacks to 90s and early 2000s superhero movies. I'm sure The Last Dance will feel the same way!
My week has been made. I have wanted you to do this movie the moment it came out. I was absolutely certain it would be a thing of beauty. I was not disappointed.
That beginning about Disney not doing all the Marvel stuff on their own and allowing Sony to do their own Marvel stuff is how I feel about Warner Bros doing DC Elseworlds films/shows. I like that they are allowing films/shows that are NOT set in James Gunn's DC Universe (like Matt Reeves' The Batman) to be made. It'll mean that they'll be DC films/shows suitable for everyone, regardless of how you feel about the DCU.
*gasps* It's excremin' time!
*rushes home to furiously watch video on toilet*
The best part of the review was when Smeghead yelled, "IT'S EXCREMIN' TIME!" and excreted all over the movie.

'Web' will be nearly a year old when the 2025 Razzie's happen so it might been seen as 'old news' [although given people involved like Dakota Johnson were pretty scathing I can see them nominated it hoping they'll turn up-which they probably won't].
@@Coolcoolcooldude Strangers Chapter 1, Night Swim, Imaginary...
It's been a hit-and-miss year for horror.
13:44-13:49 Are these writers aware that Dexter's Laboratory had those exact lines as a joke in the late-90s?
Maybe that's where they got it from. 😅
Well, lets not say that is all bad. Lets praise the things that worked. The abs where hot, the meme was funny, the dancing scene was very memorable. It is not Madame Web. My praise is done now. 😂
“Morbius Drinkin’ a 40 in a death Basket!” 😎👉👉
EDIT: Happy 150th, Fella! You made it!
Jared Leto has wiped out in both the MCEU and DCEU. Impressive feat
This is the SSMU, I have no clue what the MCEU is.
Because they added him into the Justice League film in the 'Synder Cut' he is the first actor to play the Joker in more than one movie before Joaquim Phoenix.
Happy 150th Smeghead!!
Superman IV: The Quest for Peace also used the London Underground to stand in for the New York Subway.
9:35-10:04 - In all honesty, compared to the stuff that Leto and Marlon Brando have pulled, the Hoffman incident is pretty inoffensive, because the only one he was hurting was himself. Like, I get wanting to be as authentic as possible, but my God, man, you don't have to risk your health like that! No wonder the late great Mr. Olivier said what he said - Hoffman was being a reckless fool. And considering that he and Tom Cruise starred together in Rain Man, I can't help but suspect that Cruise, having caught wind of that story, decided to take a page out of Hoffman's book and take it to even crazier extremes.
Yeah, who did Leto think he was, Dan-YELL Day-Lewis?
Fuqua and F. Gary Gray were approached to direct the movie before Daniel Espinosa was hired. When asked why he turned down the offer, Fuqua responded with this.
Fuqua: As a kid, I grew up with comic books. They talked to me about Black Panther years ago, way back in the day. There's some reason they came up and they talked to me about at Sony about Morbius. I don't know, I have a thirteen-year-old son, so I'm watching more of that again and it's exciting to do that. I'd love to create a new one, but something that's closer to what I get excited about.
I suspect F. Gary Grey said no as he directed the disappointing 'Men in Black: International' which was riddled by studio interference and he could sense that was going to happen again here so stayed away.
Congratulations on making it to episode 150!!! Your 15 year anniversary is also coming up, don't forget 😉
Morbius: I’m practically a joke in the Spidey community! I am the worst that Sony’s ever done for their Spidey franchise.
Madame Web: Hold my Pepsi.
He's back!! It's Morbin' Time!!
The rare time I actually feel happy saying that.
PS - "Upgrade" with Logan Marshall Green is a better "Venom" movie - and I will fight you on that.
(edit: I got Green's name wrong - sorry)
So true. That movie kicks ass
Agreed. I can take Logan Michael Green more seriously as an Eddie Brock than him playing The Shocker. I don't mind Tom Hardy's Venom, but no offense, but his Eddie Brock was a pathetic simp who's the real side passenger, rather than him being Venom's ride, while Venom does most of the cool stuff, when the two are supposed to be bonded and simpatico.
@@sebastianemond5313 And...IT'S R RATED
As one of Morbius the Comic Book Character's five fans: they really should have embraced the gothic cheese. Also, I think the studio would have been better served by skipping the origin story and just introduced the world to my favorite plasmavore as Already Transformed.
Just in time for my lunch break. Thanks Sean!
New CE episodes always make my day.
Funny how all those pretentious wannabe "method actors" turn out to be complete assholes in real life, isn't it?
It's almost as if that whole schtick is just a fake excuse for antisocial, narcissistic, sociopathic behaviour.
I think even Doctor Doom from Fant4stic would punch Morbius in the face...
Also, Happy 150th episode!
"Bat radar" also only really works if your ears face forward, not sidewards...
Like with eyes, Side = Prey. Front = Predator.
I strongly believe Madam Webb was light years better than Morbius and I will die on that hill.
Before I watch this, I should say that I skimmed the plot and found two appropriate places for the phrase "It's Morbin' Time" to be used. The first was during the intro when Michael Morbius was a kid. He'd have a Power Rangers toy and that would further establish him as a fan of the series. The second time would be after he gives up on finding a cure for his vampire-like condition. It's re-contextualized as a no more holding back sort of statement. Immediately afterwards, the movie goes into a short suit up montage befitting the source material of this pun and by the end, he has a new urban vampire look.
Edit: Wikipedia says that the movie starts with a ten year old Michael Morbius. Did Sean skip it? Also, feel free to correct anything else I got wrong.
I wanna justify making reference to that Jumpstart Echolocation song somehow here.
There are two major things that piss me off about this movie:
1. The wasting of Matt Smith's acting,
2. And the stupid meme that will not. _Go_ . *AWAY* .
1. Matt Smith is not lucky in his Hollywood roles so far
2. That meme needs to fie, seriously and it makes me hate the internet a lot sometimes
@Thomasmemoryscentral Agreed, especially on point 2. The problem is the internet loves the stupidest f***ing s***t, I swear...
Whatever Dustin Hofman did in Marathon Man, he did exceptionally well. He deserved an Oscar for that performance.
ngl the council of jamesons sounds like the funniest shit ever
I still don't get the logic of casting Jared Leto as Morbius the Living Vampire - his behaviour on the set of Suicide Squad (which, BTW, he CONFESSED to) was well-publicized, so it's not like Sony had a valid excuse of "oh, well, we didn't know". If I heard any rumours that Morbius was some kind of Springtime For Hitler scam and Leto was basically Lorenzo St. DuBois, I'd believe it.
The thing is, I know Jared Leto can act. Panic Room proved that. It’s a shame to see how bad he is in this.
At least Jared Leto’s band still makes good mu- oh wait.
Is Jared Leto in a cult, or does he lead one?
My heart smiles whenever I see a new video on this channel. Thank you for getting me through many nights or loneliness and depression. You sir, are DA MAN! 🙏🏾🙌🏾🤎
My favorite part was when Sean said, "It's excremin' time!" and excremtented all over the channel.
And I'm calling it now: the next title has to be Madame Web.
I don't believe Adria Arjona should have won Worst Actress for this movie.
It should have been Fan Bingbing for the 355.
I literally just watched Hit Man this week not even knowing they were the same person
"Bat-radar" sounds like something Adam West and Burt Ward would operate in the 60s.
When I saw that disclaimer, I actually thought it was going to be a Batman reference 😅
@@jackmonaghan8477 They did. Oh...they did.
it sounds way too close to a "bat credit card"
I've seen this movie … twice! It was in the rotation for "movies on the intercity bus" a couple of months ago. Do take heart, in the Spanish dub, the voice actors correctly pronounce Nobel [albeit with a es_MX accent].
The Morbius fart video sums up the movie perfectly.
I would LOVE to see the Council of Jamesons!!! That would be SO cool! JK Simmons definitely could pull it off!!
Marvel, do it!! NOW!!!
How about a movie that’s from Jameson’s point of view of him trying to hunt down Spiderman and get him arrested?
I loved this review! I have yet to watch Morbius, but man it’s next on the list!
When are we getting our Deadpool Wolverine review?
It's not the first time the London underground has impersonated a US subway system in a comic book movie, Superman IV did the same thing for the Metropolis subway and it was ridiculous then as well
Morbius 3: The Ultimate Morbing with get 900 trillion at the box office.
Cierra De La Muerte sounds kinda like Donner Pass, where the Donner Party famously got marooned. It was basically impassible in the winter for centuries, leading to the Donner's horrible fate. But now there's a highway there, too, and you can drive over it in a half hour. Human ingenuity at work!
Sony with animated movies: fantastic or decent
Sony with live action movies: Average to downright horrible
The fact that sony tried to cash in on the memes by re-releasing this trash to theatres shows how out of touch they are with the public
My utter disdain for corporations cashing in on memes knows no bpunds
13:02-13:05 - Hmmmmm... I wonder why this exchange was done much better in Insomniac's Spider-Man 2. Oh, right, because we actually cared about Peter and Harry!
Thank god they never make Peter Parker control spiders. That would be so lame.
I call it - Madame Web is next! :)
Talk about goin battty
ah good ol smeghead exriment episode
It’s actually surprisingly watchable if you have basically NO illusions about it being faithful
What makes the opening much weirder is how it feels totally innocuous and almost like a reshoot or movement of a scene from later on in the film somehow.
I still haven't seen Morbius, even ironically.
Nice. Happy 150th. I hope you survive Madame Web.
Weirdly enough I just got done watching Hit Man this weekend not realizing it was the same actress. When Sean said her name in the video I thought "no, that can't be her"
The Nobel Prize IS swedish, started by swedish native Alfred Nobel who invented dynamite, but it's actually awarded in Norway. I have NO idea why, and yes it's confusing. To top it all of the Nobel commitee who picks the recipient is located in Norway. Go figure.
I'll give the Venom movies this... I enjoyed watching them as throwbacks to 90s and early 2000s superhero movies. I'm sure The Last Dance will feel the same way!
Same here, I expect The Last Dance to be more of the same Goofy Fun the First 2 were.
My week has been made. I have wanted you to do this movie the moment it came out. I was absolutely certain it would be a thing of beauty. I was not disappointed.
That beginning about Disney not doing all the Marvel stuff on their own and allowing Sony to do their own Marvel stuff is how I feel about Warner Bros doing DC Elseworlds films/shows. I like that they are allowing films/shows that are NOT set in James Gunn's DC Universe (like Matt Reeves' The Batman) to be made. It'll mean that they'll be DC films/shows suitable for everyone, regardless of how you feel about the DCU.
Given the DC Elseworlds films were 'The Batman' and 'Joker' they're clearly doing something right there compared to Sony.
@@jamesatkinsonja Exactly. Those films are doing their own thing. while Sony is desperately trying to keep a hold of MCU's Spider-Man.
Truly one of your reviews of all time, Sean!
Half bat, all man
This project plateaued as soon as they cast Jared Leto in it!
Holy guacamole! Is that a new dose of Smeghead?! 🥳🥳🥳
after Terminator, losing his role in Star Wars 9 and this, i was scared Matt Smith wouldn't rebound, glad i was wrong.
This is like Transcendence, Twilight, and Dylan Dog at once
