Review: Jared Leto becomes a bat man, but not that Batman in 'Morbius'
and on your feelings about Leto, who perhaps isn’t so much a serious actor as one who takes himself very seriously. Still, his performance here has a quietly vibrating vulnerability; he seems to have made at least a small emotional investment in this film, as if to keep it from sliding into total special-effects-laden soullessness.His efforts pay off, nominally: Michael Morbius doesn’t want to be a baddie, though his ungodly urges keep pulling him in that direction.
Leto probably generates more facsimiles of real emotion than this slender yet clumsily extravagant movie needs. The director is Daniel Espinosa, and he, too, is probably a better director than this material warrants. Some of the effects here are nifty: Morbius, with his special bat powers doesn’t so much fly around as flash through space, and when he does, he leaves feathery wisps of color in his wake. If the action sequences feel numbingly generic, at least they’re not noisy or assaultive.
