What is up bros welcome to the all bros podcast I'm Caleb and I'm Jonathan and we are a couple
of aspiring filmmakers that love to watch and critique movies but also enjoy a lot of
bit of the nerd life.
This week on the podcast in 4k spotlight we have two new movies coming out one of them's
just just blu ray right you said?
Well technically it's one movie and one show.
One movie one show that's right.
So anyway the show's only coming out on blu ray but the movie's coming out on 4k.
We got nothing for through the wall just because it's been a really slow news week.
Mainly just ticket announcements and hype for sonic the hedgehog 2.
Yeah.
At least that's what I feel this whole week's been.
Yeah that's really what I've seen.
Yeah other than that not a whole lot going on in news so we will move straight on into
our breakdown of Morbius.
So without further ado let's say we get on into it.
Let's do it.
Hey guys I'm Crash host of the podcast Crash and Tez's movie seller.
On our show me and my co-host pick a new movie each week and rate each movie on a few categories
that we think are important to making a great movie.
After we rate the movie it gets a final rating and that lands it somewhere on our seller
scale where it will get labeled as either a well premium or a top-shelf film.
Catch us on platforms like Spotify, Google, Amazon music and more and don't forget to

criticism to make the show more entertaining.
Overall don't forget to follow or subscribe and rate and review us and get ready for an
entertaining to show with us.
See you guys then.
Alrighty first up in 4k spotlight we got one movie that we're going to discuss and that
movie is Spider-Man No Way Home.
The big one.
Yeah so that one's getting a 4k release and then Chucky season one is also getting a Blue
Reate release.
I never thought that we would just be calling it season one.
I honestly never thought it'd get a season two.
When they first announced it.
It got confirmed for season two?
Oh yeah they've already started filming already.
Oh freaking A dude.
Yeah so I'm excited but I didn't think that it would be second season because I thought
Dom Mancini had only planned on it just being one season.
Maybe he planned on it being that but it just did really well.
It did actually.
Like sci-fi and USA were actually very very pleased for how well it did.
Noice.
That's gotta feel good.
Oh yeah absolutely.
Yeah.
Yeah so anyway you want to tell us about where we can get No Way Home?
I would love to.
So I mean you can get it anywhere you buy Blu-rays and you know 4ks but if you want
to get an exclusive of it you have three options.
First we have the Best Buy exclusive steelbook which I don't think is available anymore or
at least at the moment.
I don't know if it's completely sold out.
If it is I wouldn't be surprised and if it is I am truly sorry if you guys did not get
this because it's a beautiful steelbook.
And I pre-ordered this bitch back in like December.
Like I think like three days after the movie came out.
Holy shit.
Yeah dude I had to make sure that I got this steelbook.
So yeah so it's just Spider-Man in the middle with so he's like in a jumping motion and
in the background it looks like one of the portals is opening with the city in the background
and then you have Green Goblin, Electro, and Doc Ock as well in the background.
So cool.
Yeah it's pretty cool.
And then for the Target exclusive we have and honestly you know it's really sad I think
the Target exclusive is like the most boring.
I actually like Walmart's better because it's the stupid how Sony does it now where you
get exclusive collectible cards.
So it's literally just the same so it's or maybe it is different actually.
From what I've seen like with previous Sony releases it's literally just like the slip
cover.
It doesn't like have anything special it's just like a new slip cover and they shove
the cards behind the slip cover along with just the regular 4k box whatever 4k disc whatever.
So yeah I mean this is the cheapest option you're gonna find because this one's only
$27.99 compared to the steelbook that is $34.99.
But like the steelbook's like worth that price in my opinion.
So yeah so there's that and then the Walmart exclusive which I actually double dipped on
this movie just because I love that Walmart exclusive slip cover.
So it's actually the poster that they released I think shortly after the movie came out and
it's Peter Parker or Tom Holland's Spider-Man like kind of like sitting on a ledge without
his mask and it's him like looking out at New York City and it has like in the billboards
of New York City has like him has a saying like public enemy number one for Peter Parker
and all that stuff and like him looking down it looks so freaking badass.
I loved this poster so much so I love that this is they're making this a slip cover because
I hate the regular slip cover for this movie because literally it's Spider-Man swinging
with a bunch of like buildings kind of like swirling around him in the background.
He kind of looks dumb in my opinion.
Like it's hard to beat that public enemy one.
Right they should have just made that the regular version and you didn't need to do
a Walmart exclusive but whatever.
And then the just the regular blu-ray has I think this was just the poster maybe I think
like a little they changed it up a little bit.
So front and center is Spider-Man along with Doctor Strange behind him and then it has
one of the portals opening.
So yeah.
So yes I will be getting two copies of Spider-Man No Way Home but you know I think it's worth
it because this movie is fantastic.
I love this movie.
Nice dude I feel I mean I know we talked about it a little bit but I got the I think we both
did maybe but I got the steelbook for Guardians of the Galaxy.
Yes and bro like I feel like that one spoiled the shit out of me because that is such a
good steelbook and any steelbook now that shows like just that's just regular movie
poster just disappoints me to no end.
Like you can they need to hire like an artist like or commission an artist to create your
your cover for you.
I mean come on.
Like that's fair.
Like I love that.
Like I was freaking going nuts over the Hunger Games one like all those like artistic covers
like are you kidding me dude.
Those are beautiful.
Yeah like I could easily see myself getting into steelbooks if they were to take that
route.
You know it's really sad I'm still on the hunt for that steelbook set because every
single version that I've found in store or that I've gotten I mean I've only gotten one
in the mail but I've literally been to like every Best Buy in Utah County trying to find
a good version and either the spines are slit or the the actual like box set is just beat
to shit.
No man.
So it's a pain in the ass.
I hope to find it in good condition at least one one day because I mean this this set isn't
selling out anytime soon honestly.
Would you I mean is the box that important or do you is the box kind of part of it?
I feel the box is kind of part of it.
It's not like a flimsy box.
It's a pretty sturdy box.
Okay I was gonna say because if you could find one where the the covers are just like
super nice and the the box is beat up just get rid of the box but I mean if the box is
part of it then I mean that the box is too pretty.
I haven't seen one of those in person so I'll take your word on that.
Okay.
Like I'm just I'm simply just impressed with the cover.
That's fair well because the box has like so it has Katniss on the front in her like
red um red outfit you know pulling back her bow and then on the back it has like little
square snippets of like all of the other important characters.
Okay.
That's pretty damn cool.
Yeah I wasn't paying too much attention to that box so.
I don't even know if they really showed the box off that well anyway.
Like I didn't really know that the box looked that good until I actually saw it in person.
Fair.
Alright um let's see next up Chucky season one.
Yes so if you guys have seen season one of Chucky and had a good time with it you can
get it on blu-ray this Tuesday.
I don't know how much it's going to be.
Hopefully not super expensive because I think I probably will.
I don't know if I want to pick it up on day one or wait for a release or not a release
while a drop in price.
Damn that's actually a really good deal.
It's going to be 25 bucks for a whole season on blu-ray.
That's really good.
How many episodes in the season?
I think there's eight episodes and they're each an hour long.
That's not horrible.
Yeah here let me double check.
I haven't personally watched the series yet because one I forgot it kind of existed.
One of the cons of not having cable to remind me every other commercial.
I think that's my biggest problem with finding new shit to watch.
I just kind of forget the shit that I've been like oh that looks interesting.
With this I was only able to watch the first episode when it first came out because they
put it on their YouTube or no I'm sorry I think it was the first two episodes because
sci-fi put them on their YouTube channel but then after that I wasn't able to watch the
series the rest of it until it ended and it went on Peacock because the only way you would
have been able to watch it was with like live TV on Hulu and I'm not paying for that extra
shit because that shit's expensive.
Yeah no thank you.
Yeah exactly.
Okay yeah so it's eight episodes.
Okay yeah that's not bad.
No it's not.
Like especially if they're hour long episodes too so damn.
So yeah if you guys so you can pick up two big titles this week Spider-Man No Way Home
and Shucky Season 1.
Nice.
Alrighty like we said nothing for Through the Wall.
I mean I had one thing that I was like considering bringing up I mean we can just real quick
just because I saw it like right before we started recording like and it's just kind
of now being brought to mind.
Obi-Wan Kenobi they pushed their release date from Wednesday to Friday.
Didn't they announce that last week?
Was it last week?
Yeah yeah that's been a while.
Oh shit I only saw it today.
Oh dude I'm sorry.
So yeah they moved it from May 25th to May 27th.
But at least we're getting the first two episodes so at least there's that.
Like gosh I wish I wonder if like releasing on the same day is like like jacked them up
because what weren't there two shows going at like the same time at one point?
I cannot remember.
Like I want to say it was during Loki.
Yeah I think you're right.
But I find it funny because didn't they used to release their new shows on Fridays but
then since Loki was doing like so well I guess they decided to move it to Wednesdays?
Well it was before Loki got released that they changed it to Wednesday.
And now they're changing it back to Friday?
I don't know if they're doing that like across the board.
I have a feeling they might.
I don't know but if they are Disney make up your freaking mind please.
Yeah well that's just.
Damn day.
Well you got to think too Ms. Marvel is going to be playing at the same time so unless they
keep Ms. Marvel on the same date Ms. Marvel is going to come out on Wednesday and then
Obi Wan is going to come out on Friday.
Okay that would make more sense.
So maybe the Marvel shows on Wednesdays, Star Wars shows on Fridays.
Yeah or maybe that's just how they're going to do it when they have two shows running
simultaneously.
I mean it's not a bad idea.
No like you got to think if when people log in at least okay I think wasn't it Monsters
at Work that was showing at the same time as Loki?
Yeah I think you're right.
So if you have people tuning in to watch both of those shows then you have you only have
like a couple hours worth of their engagement on your site so maybe this is like an engagement
tactic to get people to log on more.
That's the case Mark Hall.
I feel a lot of people didn't watch Monsters at Work.
I did and it was disappointing.
I never finished it.
I only watched like the first two episodes.
It was really boring.
Yeah it wasn't it was not great.
Because that's definitely what you want to hear from the sequel series that brings back
Mike and Sully.
Oh yeah.
Yeah well they didn't leave themselves open for anything further.
Oh did they close it up nicely?
Pretty much.
So you know how at the end of Monsters Inc. they ended it with like showing how they were
now using laugh energy and it was like this big old party.
So they ended Monsters at Work with that scene.
Oh okay.
So yeah like before it was so Monsters at Work was just covering the transition period
between them using scare energy and laugh energy.
And so they they closed out the season with like oh now we're using laugh energy now.
So this is seriously like it's funny because technically Monsters at Work takes place right
after What's-his-face gets arrested.
Oh Waternoose?
Yeah so it's like right after he gets arrested and right before they start using like you
see the whole laugh energy stuff.
So it was interesting in that regard.
I gotta finish it at least honestly.
You don't have to like.
Well at least he's being honest.
Yeah the only reason I finished it was just because I wanted to watch something else and
like that what the hell this is new.
And it would stay on my continue watching list for a really long time so I was just
like I would ever knock it out.
It's like okay fine Disney Plus I'll do it.
Yeah it didn't keep me too interested like I lost interest a lot.
It's just watching it to have something family appropriate.
I feel that saying so much considering how at least to me how good Monsters Inc. is and
how like I feel you could never get bored in that movie because for how quick fast paced
it is.
Yeah they had all the ingredients they had freaking Billy Crystal and John Goodman back
but they freaking wasted them.
Really sucks.
Yeah but anyway so I think that's just a Disney tactic to get people to log on more than one
day a week.
If that's the case kudos to you Disney that's smart.
Yeah and I will definitely be watching them both days.
I mean hell I've been keeping up with Moon Knight.
I've been keeping up with all the shows that have been released on Wednesday.
That's the first thing I do in the morning is I walk or go and watch whatever show is
on.
Like I watched Moon Knight this morning so.
Still haven't watched even episode one yet.
You haven't?
No I know I'm all good.
It's good.
That's what I've heard.
No I need to just sit my ass down and watch it.
Yeah you just do it.
It's so good.
Is it you liked Loki right?
Yes.
Okay is it better than Loki so far or would you put it on the same levels?
That's interesting.
Because I was not a fan of Loki I'm sorry to say.
I would say it's more on the level of Falcon and the Winter Soldier.
Okay I'm cool with that because I loved that show.
Yeah like you know how Falcon and the Winter Soldier had like a really strong open and
then a bit of a slower end?
Yeah.
It was kind of the opposite.
It had a really it not really slow it had a slower start but by the end I was just like
invested.
And then episode two did not disappoint in the slightest.
Sweet.
So highly highly recommend.
Anyway that I've completely spaced out what I was going to say.
That covers everything in news for today.
So let's say we move on to this week's headliner.
Let's do it.
Alrighty this week's headliner we will be breaking down technically Sony's newest Marvel
movie.
Yeah.
I do not want to associate this with Marvel in the slightest but anyway yeah.
So this is Sony's newest installment of I guess one-off characters or whatever.
Not one-off I mean Venom's more than one.
Anyway it's the Spider-Man anti-hero Morbius.
So if you are new to our breakdown system we have split movies into eight different
categories that we individually score to come to a final All Bros letter grade.
The eight categories that we score are story, writing, acting, character development, effects,
music, costumes and then give it our own personal grade at the very end.
Rose is about to spoil the entire freaking movie for you so if you have not gone to see
it now you don't have to.
You're welcome.
As you can tell we loved this movie.
Yeah okay we're being really harsh on it.
It wasn't unwatchable.
It was almost there.
It was almost there but it wasn't quite there.
I'll give you that.
They tried.
Dude I have to keep telling myself Jonathan you don't need that steelbook even though
it would go into your Spider-Man collection you don't need the steelbook.
Yeah we'll get into it.
We're being really mean right now but we'll explain ourselves.
So if you haven't seen it and you want to see it you might want to skip this or come
back to it later when you have seen the movie.
If you don't plan on seeing Morbius by all means good on you.
Anyway so Rose would you like to read us a synopsis for this movie?
I would love to.
Alright.
At a hospital in Greece 10 year old Michael Morbius welcomes his surrogate brother Lucian
whom he renames Milo.
They bond over their shared blood illnesses and desire to be normal.
Their adoptive father and hospital director Nicholas arranges for Michael to attend medical
school in New York while he focuses on caring for Milo.
25 years later Michael publicly declines a Nobel Prize for his work with synthetic blood.
Michael's colleague Martine Bancroft discovers he has secretly captured dozens of vampire
bats from Costa Rica in the hope of splicing their genes with his own to cure his condition.
After informing Nicholas and Milo of his planned illegal experiment Michael receives funding
to outfit a private mercenary vessel in international waters with his equipment.
While the cure works it transforms Michael into a vampire.
Michael kills and drains the crew of their blood after they attack him out of fear.
Once his blood lust subsides and he regains his senses a horrified Michael erases all
CCTV footage of his experiment before contacting the authorities and jumping overboard.
Michael returns to New York and discovers he now has superhuman strength, speed reflexes
and echolation with his vampire bats treating him as a bat.
He subsists on his synthetic blood until it gradually ceases to satisfy his needs.
FBI agents Simon Stroud and Al Rodriguez investigate Michael's victims and deduce his involvement.
Milo learns that Michael is cured but becomes furious when Michael refuses to cure him as
well.
While checking on a hospitalized Bancroft Michael finds a dead nurse drained of her
blood.
Believing he was responsible he attempts to escape before being cornered and arrested.
In prison Michael is visited by Milo who offers to use his wealth to free him.
Upon realizing Milo took his cure and killed the nurse Michael escapes to confront him.
An unrepentant Milo confesses to his blood lust induced crime and urges Michael to embrace
his powers as he has.
Unwilling to hurt his brother Michael flees.
Michael meets Bancroft to explain what Milo has done before requiring a new lab and developing
an anti-coagulant to stop and kill Milo.
But he also plans to use it on himself since he will become unable to resist his blood
lust.
Stroud and Rodriguez find footage of one of Milo's attacks and, believing Morbius's
vampirism to be spreading, release it to the media.
Nicholas recognizes Milo and pleads with him to stop.
Angered by Nicholas's perceived preference for Michael Milo wounds and forces him to
call Michael.
Michael watches Nicholas die while Milo attacks Bancroft.
Michael returns to Bancroft but she dies in his arms and he drinks her blood.
Michael confronts Milo and summons an army of bats to restrain him and inject the anti-coagulant.
Milo dies and Michael flies off with the bats, mourning his loved ones and embracing his
identity as a vampire.
Unbeknownst to him, Bancroft is revived by her newly developed vampiric powers.
In the post-credits scene, Adrian Toomes is transported to Michael's universe by a spell.
Assuming that his transportation involves Spider-Man, Toomes approaches Michael and
suggests that they form a team.
For those that don't know, Adrian Toomes is the vulture in Tom Holland's Spider-Man
universe.
Dude, I'm just gonna get this out of the way right now.
Why in the hell did he think it had something to do with Spider-Man?
That is such a stretch.
And the fact that freaking Morbius is just like on board, he's like, you don't even
freaking know Spider-Man.
Venom didn't even know who the hell Spider-Man was.
Yeah.
And even that would have made more sense, honestly, if he would have approached Eddie
Brock.
Yeah, dude, it's just like, I don't know how I got here, but I'm pretty sure it has
something to do with Spider-Man.
Who the f- is Spider-Man?
Like, are you kidding me?
Like, so dumb.
Oh my gosh.
Just think if we teamed up, you and me and some other people could do some real damage
together and I'm just like, oh my god.
And I thought setting up the Sinister Six and the Amazing Spider-Man 2 was bad.
This is worse.
This is so much worse, dude.
Like come on.
At least that one had like a cool setup.
Like yeah, it wasn't well executed, but at least like they actually, I feel, put thought
into how they were going to put, uh, set up the Sinister Six.
Yeah, I felt like literally they're deciding, okay, let's bring Michael Keaton back as Vulture.
Okay, what do you want him to do?
Well, I don't know, try to set up the Sinister Six.
I don't know how we're going to do that, but I guess we'll figure it out when he gets to
set.
Dude, they messed up so much shit with that end credit scene.
So the first thing he does when he gets released from jail in this different universe was go
and build himself a new Vulture suit.
Yeah, which where the hell did he get the materials for that?
Yeah, and second, did he even like know how to build that shit?
I thought that was the Tinkerer.
Yeah, that's what I thought too.
And it looked like nothing looked different.
It looked the exact same.
I mean, the mask looked a little bit different.
Oh, it did?
I didn't even notice.
Well, just the way, I don't know, I'd have to go back and look at it, but in Spider-Man
Homecoming, his mask looked like a flight helmet.
In this, it did have like that, those flight helmet elements to it, but it also seemed
like it looked like it had a beak.
Not like a protruding one.
It's just like they had metal kind of highlighting that look.
Okay, that's kind of cool.
Yeah.
I thought it was really cool.
The suit looks bitchin'.
I'm not complaining about that at all.
It's just how the fuck did he get it?
He wasn't transported to Morbius' universe in that.
He was transported in his white jail cell uniform.
Dude, and how shitty of a sorcerer is Doctor Strange?
I mean, we'll find out in Multiverse of Madness.
Dude, first off, he doesn't even, he does this spell to send people back to their original
universes.
That's all he was supposed to do, and somehow he missed a piece of Venom and then sent a
Spider-Man villain to a completely different freaking universe.
Yeah.
Excuse me?
If we get a new Spider-Man, they better explain that.
Like exactly like that.
They better be like, oh yeah, this Spider-Man's from a different universe too.
Oh my god.
Dude, so, oh my gosh.
But anyway, getting into freaking Morbius, because I could go on for days about that
damn cameo.
I mean, I could too, but that was my favorite part of the whole movie, but it's just because
I loved seeing Michael Keaton back as Vulture.
Dude, that was the laziest writing I think I've ever seen.
I would absolutely agree with you.
And that's saying a lot because there was a shit ton of lazy writing in this movie.
Yup.
And we are going to cover it all.
Let's do it.
So starting off with story.
Like we said, Morbius has, what is it he has?
Oh, the type of disease it doesn't say.
Basically he has problems, excuse me, his mobility problems.
That's the biggest thing.
Okay, yeah, it's just some rare blood disease.
Okay.
Speaking of that, can we talk about, I don't know how you feel about Jared Leto's method
acting, but it's kind of starting to get on my nerves.
His method acting?
Yeah, like remember with like Suicide Squad, how he sent dead rats and used condoms to
the other cast members in character as the Joker?
Dude, were they actually used?
I think they were.
That's disgusting.
I thought he was just sending open condoms to them.
If they were used, that's disgusting.
Maybe they weren't used, maybe they were just open.
With that, did you hear what he did with his method acting for this movie?
No, but I saw a video where someone was making a joke about it, so I didn't know if there
was actual real stuff that he was doing.
Oh yeah, so just so he could stay in character with the whole, unfortunately not being able
to walk.
There's nothing against people that have to use crutches, but with his character, he literally
would, if he had to use the bathroom or anything like that, if he couldn't use it using his
crutches, he would actually have cast members, well not cast members, like crew members,
help him use the bathroom.
And I'm sorry, that's just too much for me.
Come on man.
I hate Jared Leto's method acting, I really do.
It frustrates the hell out of me.
Dude, he is so aggravating.
Dude, kudos to anyone that really puts themselves in a role like that, really dedicates themselves,
but I'm sorry, that's too far.
Yeah.
Oh, I gotta stay in character, since I can't really use the bathroom with my crutches,
I'm gonna have someone unzip my pants so I can take a leak.
Dude, I thought most of that shit was fake.
No it's true.
Oh man.
Then I have some people to apologize to, because they're like, dude, check out all this shit,
and I was like, you had me with the first couple, but that just seems ridiculous.
No, that is how Jared Leto is.
Oh my gosh, dude.
I don't understand the appeal of hiring actors that get that into character.
They must be a nightmare to work with.
Yeah, I've heard Jared Leto can be hitting this with working with.
Jeez.
Dude, what's, like, he was doing, like, he was acting in vampire stuff too, or was it
just the blood disease?
I think it was just the blood disease.
Okay.
I hope it wasn't the whole vampire shit.
If it was the vampire thing too, I'm like, you weren't even that kind of vampire, asshole.
Dude, okay, I apologize for the language I'm about to say, but in the line, when he says,
when he's in the jail and he says, you know, I'm getting hungry, you wouldn't like me when
I'm hungry, I almost said, shut the fuck up, dude.
So loud in the theater.
Like no, don't try to turn this into a Hulk line.
No.
Dude, I want to know.
Oh my gosh, this is just going to get this is kind of just a mixture of story and writing
for me.
Yeah.
What the hell was up with the frickin captain of that ship going down there?
He's like, I'm going to go check on the doctor.
Like, okay, fine.
Like go check on him.
Like whatever.
And then he goes in, he's just like, starts giving, what's her face, Martine shit.
Yeah.
He was such an asshole.
He's like, unnecessarily.
So yeah.
Oh, how's it going?
There's I'm a doctor.
Oh yeah.
Sure.
I'm like, dude, it is the 22nd, 21st, 22nd century, dude.
Like, come on, get with the fricking times asshole.
Dude, whoever fricking wrote this does not know how to write bullies very well because
the kids from the beginning, when like before he turned like when it was like young Michael
and young Milo.
Oh yeah.
Dude, those bullies were just so over the top.
Seriously, they're making fun of them.
Like outside the window.
I'm just like, you do realize they're probably not even like caring you or paying attention
to you.
You're wasting your time.
Yeah.
Like there's kids that are going into school and are coming out of school, one of the two
and like look up, hey, freaks.
Be like, you can't even see me, bitch.
Like kidding me.
Oh, good Lord.
So, so dumb.
And then, dude, the whole shit with the two agents was so unnecessary.
It really was.
It seemed though, like the guy that was opposite Tyrese Gibson, it feels like he was given
more to do than Tyrese was.
Yeah.
And he was treated like a second class agent.
Yeah.
It's freaking ridiculous, dude.
I'm not going to say that for writing.
Dude, they had so much stuff in this that just came out of nowhere.
Like the fact, like with Martine having a cat, like how was that significant at all?
Yeah, that was just like so random.
And then yeah, it cuts to a scene.
Yeah.
Cause like they go to her apartment, like the two FBI agents go to her apartment.
She's not there.
And then, yeah, we cut to the next scene where she's with Michael and she's feeding her cat
and literally she accidentally cuts her finger on the can.
Yeah.
That was that the whole cat thing was purely so she would cut her finger.
Yep.
Just so he could be like, Oh God, I, I, I sense blood.
Oh my God.
He's so dumb.
Guess what?
She's a scientist.
Scientists work with sharp shit.
She could just cut herself on anything else.
Okay.
Was it just me or the opening?
Like where he's in, um, where the hell was he when he like discovered all the vampire
bats?
The opening?
Yeah.
Oh, in the cave?
Yeah.
Do you know?
Yeah.
That was the, that was the opening.
Okay.
Did they say where that was?
Um, they did.
I just can't remember.
I can't either.
No, did I really give a shit to remember?
Right.
But I don't know if you had a problem.
I had a hard time hearing the audio in that.
Yup.
There were so many times where I couldn't hear the fricking audio.
Okay, good.
I'm not the only one.
Like, dude, when he was walking into the damn, uh, money laundering place, I didn't understand
the fricking thing he said.
Yeah.
Like even though, even the fricking line where he was like, like making that I am venom joke,
no one in my theater laughed at that because none of us could fricking understand it.
I mean, I was the only one in my theater and I didn't even laugh at it.
Yeah.
Cause like, I hate that.
You know what?
I will fully, I kind of hate that they took, and I never thought I'd say this.
I kind of hate that they took out the part after he says that, Oh, I'm just kidding.
It's you know, it's your friendly, uh, Dr. Michael Morbius at your service.
They straight up take that out.
All he says is I am venom.
And then the guy runs away.
Yeah.
That part was kind of funny.
No, it was freaking stupid.
It was stupid, but I feel that like made more sense than him just saying, I am venom.
And the guy just running away.
Um, I always thought in the trailers that him like giving away his identity was even
dumber.
Fair enough.
And just like the cockiness too.
And he was walking into that place.
He's just like, Oh, is this the part where the, the strange hooded man kicks everyone's
ass?
That's my favorite part, dude.
Just fricking kick their ass and leave, dude.
Yeah, seriously.
You don't have to try to do quips.
You're not good at it.
Yeah, dude.
The only quip that I thought was kind of funny was when Martin was checking to see if daylight
burned him.
Okay.
Yeah, that was funny.
That was, I thought that was hilarious.
Yeah.
It's just the way that he pulled, like he played it and he just like reached for the
coffee and went, Ooh, I'm like, ah, that's okay.
That's clever.
Not that kind of vampire.
Yeah.
That was pretty fun.
I will.
Okay.
Yeah.
I did chuckle at that part and I didn't think I would actually chuckle on this movie.
Yeah.
That was, um, that was pretty funny.
There were some things that they did in this that I think were meant to be funny, but
were.
Dude, please tell me it wasn't just me, but I laughed my ass off when she went to the
fricking bat cage that he has in there and was like, Oh, you're going to get in trouble
for this.
Like they could take your license.
This is unethical, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
And then they like, they show like a different angle of the room.
All his walls are fricking mirror, like glass.
Yeah.
Like, Ooh, like if anyone sees this, you're going to be in trouble.
Bitch.
Everyone can see them.
It's just nobody gives a shit apparently.
Yeah.
Are you kidding me?
I swear in that scene when she's like saying that it cuts to like another shot and you
can actually see someone looking in, in the background.
Yeah.
No, someone freaking walks past.
Yeah.
Oh my gosh, dude.
I, I wanted to fricking blow my top with that dumb shit.
Oh my God.
Another thing, dude.
Um, the first nurse that's killed by Milo.
Um, I mean, we don't know it's like, it's duh.
It's fricking Milo.
I mean, it, it later on, it is said to be mine.
Yeah.
But like I could, I fricking called it, dude.
Like, I was like, there's no way that that's Morbius.
Yeah.
The only cool thing about that scene was, um, the whole lighting fixture, the way that
they were able to do that, that was kind of cool.
It was cool, but impractical is all hell.
True.
But better logic with lighting than this movie did.
That's saying something.
Yeah, dude.
Oh my gosh.
That was the, that lighting was just so dumb.
Yeah.
How did you, um, speaking of, uh, Milo, how did you feel about his character?
I liked him a lot.
I will give him, I will, the one positive that I can say about this movie is you can
tell Matt Smith was having a blast playing the villain and it showed.
Yeah.
The only thing that I would have personally taken out was him dancing.
Yeah, that was a little too much.
Yeah.
That was just way too much, but everything else that he did was so good.
Yeah, it really was.
But I would have liked to see him take the fricking cure or the, the, not the, it's not
potion, the, the injection.
Yeah.
The antidote or whatever the hell you want to call it.
Like I would have liked to see him after.
Yeah.
Like he went into Morbius's lab, sees Morbius having like a total freak out or like a blood
withdrawal and then comes out, gets kicked out by Morbius.
And then the next time that we see him, he's full vampire.
Yeah.
How the, yeah.
How the hell did he even get it?
Yeah.
How did like first, yeah.
One, how did he get it?
Two, how did he know that's what it was?
Yep.
Exactly.
It's not labeled vampire syrup.
Yeah.
And then, oh, while we're at it, fricking third, why the hell did Morbius fricking grab the
other two?
Yeah.
Guess what?
If I realize, oh, I've been cursed.
I'm grabbing the other two, smashing them and then leaving.
Yeah.
Exactly.
I will be the only one that will ever be infected with this.
I'm not giving anyone the chance to take this on.
Fricking dumb.
There's a lot of things in this movie are fricking dumb.
Yeah.
And it's all like stuff that's so easily fixed.
Yeah.
You know, I really, I don't know like anything about the character of Morbius because like
with the 90s Spider-Man, cause me and my buddy, JC were talking about this, like how he was
in 90s Spider-Man, the 90s Spider-Man cartoon.
And then I guess he was also in Spider-Man 3, the video game.
I don't remember him in either of those.
Now I did not play the whole Spider-Man 3 game and I have never, I don't know if I really
care to explore the character anymore.
He's got to be better than this, right?
From what I've seen of him, I like, I did not, I did not know him from the Spider-Man
video game, but I did watch the, I knew him from the 90s Spider-Man show.
Okay.
But he was, it was pretty much the same thing.
Like I don't think they played on his medical condition.
They didn't really focus too much on that.
What they really focused on was his powers.
Like he took like, like it was still, he was working with vampire bats and ended up, like
it was basically the same thing minus the blood condition.
From what I remember.
And then they brought back, and so when he finally turned, because it's a kid's show,
instead of like sucking out people's blood, he would absorb their plasma.
And it was weird because he wouldn't like bite them.
He had like these weird suction cup things on his hand which were fricking gross.
But he would like touch people and it would like absorb their plasma and kill them.
I'll give them A for effort.
Yeah.
I mean, obviously you have to adapt it for a children's show, but.
Yeah.
I mean.
Okay.
So that's all I knew about Morbius.
If that's, if that's the case, I am glad that they went with the blood sucking in this
movie because that, yeah, that would have just been dumb for this film.
Yeah, it would have.
I'm trying to think of some other shit.
Oh, um, Martine getting attacked by Milo.
And fricking big ass air quotes dying at the end.
Or like we assume that she dies.
Dude, I knew fricking good damn well that they weren't killing her off.
As soon as she did that weird fricking lip biting thing and like seductively licked
his blood off of her lip.
I'm like, okay, well, first off, she's turning into a vampire.
Second, gross.
And three, was that supposed to be sexy?
Because it wasn't.
And fourth, I don't know about you, but I never, I didn't feel any sexual tension between
them to the point when she kisses him.
And I'm like, okay, well this, this honestly romantic relationship just came out of nowhere
for me.
Honestly, the only part of the room like that hinted towards their, um, like the sexual
nature of their relationship was when Morbius and Milo were talking on that walk.
And like he started talking about Morbius or, uh, Martine.
Okay, that's, that's fair.
I'm a fricking nowhere for me.
I'm just like, that was very unnecessary.
Why couldn't we have just kept them that, that they're colleagues, but they're also
like really good friends.
They really care about each other.
Do we really have to always turn it into them being romantically involved with each other?
That they love each other?
Yeah.
So I don't know what the hell they were playing at with that.
I'm like, this is so fricking stupid.
But overall, when we, I'm going to fricking destroy this movie when it comes to writing,
but the story was not horrible.
They, they had a, I felt they had a really, I had the same problems with the pacing of
this movie that I did with the, with fan four stick.
It was, so this, this movie was what two hours long.
Not even that it was an hour and 45 hour 45.
It, it felt really, really fast.
It did.
Yeah, it, yeah, it did.
Yeah.
When it like already started to be like the final fight between Milo and Morbius, I'm
just like, holy shit.
Okay.
Like, and we're there.
Well, oh shit.
Okay.
That was fast.
Yeah.
It was just, it was too quickly paced.
It really was.
Which is weird to say because I feel like the movie dragged in some areas and it was,
it dragged in the areas it didn't need to.
Yep.
And so yeah, it had some major pacing problems, unfortunately.
Gosh, where am I going to put this?
The overall, just the overall story with the fight between Milo and Morbius.
I felt like you could have gotten a little bit more, I think you could have had some
better fights between Milo and Morbius and just, I feel like we needed to see Milo turn.
Yeah, I would, yeah, I would agree with that.
Like I would have actually, the way that I would have handled it was have them like argue
back and forth about the serum, like a little bit more than have, like basically show us
that what that Milo took the serum.
So show us that he took it and then have it be a fight of experience where Milo is going
around killing people, like an absorbing like red blood and becoming like powerful, like
have him go through that.
And then at the final end point, like show him, show that final fight.
And then also show, like I feel like they could have shown us like, what am I trying
to say?
Maybe more interactions with the bats, because I did not think that Morbius had like the
ability to control bats.
Yeah, yeah, I didn't either.
Like he's some fricking waterbender.
And dude, he straight up pulled a Dragon Ball move.
Oh yeah, dude, straight up.
Like straight up fricking Kamehameha the bats at Milo, which I was just like, dude, are
you shitting me?
Like even in my head when he was doing that, I was like, ah, man.
Oh my God, I love it.
That's so great.
That's the fricking sound that was playing in my head.
I love it.
That's awesome.
So, yeah, I was just fricking, this is, eh.
So it had some issues, but I mean, on paper, the story is not like horrible.
It's like, hey, this dude turns himself to a vampire because of this rare blood condition
that him and his friend have, and he refuses to give his friend said serum.
And so his friend takes it, becomes a blood sucking beast of his own and they fight.
And then like that, like that premise is like, is pretty good.
It's just the little details that they screw up horribly.
Yeah.
Yeah, I would agree.
So I think with story, because of the pacing issues, because of the, just the things that
I feel they rushed and the things that they decided to focus on that were just completely
unnecessary to the overarching story.
I think I'm at like a 74 for the story.
And I'm I feel like that's more than fair.
Yeah, I'm lower than that.
Where are you at?
I'm in the 60s, dude.
Like trust me, I'm fricking tearing this movie up when it comes to writing.
But story, I feel just because of how it was watchable.
It was like, that's that.
No, that like I if you wanted to get put in the 60s, I put it in the 60s like I can easily.
Like you can justify that all freaking day to me.
Just for me personally, it was watchable.
Okay.
Do I see myself going back and exploring this movie?
Probably as frequently as I do the original Suicide Squad, which isn't very often.
I mean, same, but I would watch that movie again before I watch this movie again, if
I'm being honest here.
Yeah, I'm on the opposite.
I would actually watch Morbius before I watched the real Suicide Squad.
Okay, so all right, that's fair.
So I'm going to go 68 for story.
Yeah, I completely understand.
All right, well, that averages us out to a 71 for our story grade.
Moving on over to writing.
Good Lord.
Dude, I'm not even going to kind of sugarcoat this.
It's bad.
I'm at a MF like a 60, just a straight up 60.
Yeah, dude, same.
They had so many issues.
It's the details.
A lot of the dialogue was fine.
I didn't hate the dialogue.
Overall, it's just they had a bunch of unnecessary dialogue.
Like the whole conversation between Morbius and Milo about his relationship with Martine
was so stupid.
It was really hard to hear it, which we will be getting into with music.
I will, you know what?
Honestly, I might watch this movie again at home just so I can actually have the subtitles
on and actually hear what the hell they were saying at the beginning of this movie.
Yeah, I know, right?
That's the only reason I will watch this movie again.
Yeah, it's a freaking joke.
But yeah, they did not set up the romantic connection between Morbius and Martine very
well.
They felt very just like professional colleague or really like close friend.
Yeah, thank you.
And I feel like they could have had some like pretty interesting things to do if they would
have taken that route.
But no, they had a freaking pencil in a romantic relationship.
It just did not work.
Not one bit, not one bit.
And honestly, like I feel this movie like just kind of which is it's weird to say this
because of how much killing happened in this movie.
But it didn't feel like the stakes were very high.
No, dude, not at all.
Like I know that Nicholas died, but he was just such an insignificant part of the story.
And like really anyone care when he died?
Yeah, it just felt like honestly, if I felt more hurt about that that nurse.
Yeah, dude.
Yeah, like straight up.
Yeah.
So when he died, I was like, okay, whatever.
And that's not what you want.
So it just felt like very cheap when Martine died.
And then I'm like, well, we know she's coming back to life.
And then she did.
I think it would have been much more powerful if she sacrificed herself to or for Morbius
to take on Milo.
I absolutely agree.
Yeah, that would have been a very good character sacrifice.
Yeah, like a moment.
Like I'm trying to think of like how you would play that out without it being like super
soap opera II.
But maybe you don't want it to be like General Hospital or Young and the Restless.
No, like maybe Milo frickin like scratches the shit out of her or like claws the hell
out of her.
So she's like already on the verge of dying, but is able to like wrap herself up enough
where she's not like bleeding out.
And so more and then Morbius goes to her and is like they have like their pre boss fight
conversation.
And then he's just like, start talking about or she starts giving him that like that pep
talk like you're more powerful than you think and like but you're going to need all your
strength and that rips her band aids off.
And then it's like the frickin just blood overwhelms him.
And then he has to like sucker blood or something like I don't know, frickin something like
that.
Dude, you're like I said, super, super soap rock.
Like I said, it feels in my head very soap soap opera.
Better than what they came up with.
Yeah.
Like it was just so weird.
It was like it felt like she was trying to turn him on.
Yeah, which was just so uncomfortable because she like when she went in for the kiss, she
like bit the shit out of his lip and he started bleeding and then it like landed on her lip
and then she like licks it off.
And like the look on her face, dude, I'm just like, you're dying.
That would be the last thought on my on my brain.
I got to get off at least one more time before I bite the dust.
Yeah, I'm just.
You guys could have held that back.
Yeah.
But yeah, unfortunately, the rest of this movie frickin just.
It's.
Horrible.
Yeah.
It like.
Like I said, the dialogue was not horrendous.
The dialogue by itself, I would probably put in like the high 60s or like low 70s.
But it's all the extra bullshit that they threw in that brings it down as far as it
did.
It's just it's borderline distracting.
Yeah, yeah, I would agree with that.
So like, yeah, not my favorite.
Not even close for me.
Not even a little bit close.
Which sucks because Sony, you have.
Sony does not.
I don't know what Sony's deal is.
You either really something that's like fairly good, complete and utter shit.
How do you go from no way home to this?
Dude, how do you go from into the Spiderverse to anything lower than that?
That's true, because that's just masterpiece.
Yeah, like this movie makes me worry for for across the Spiderverse.
It doesn't for me, just because the people that made this movie have nothing to do with
that movie.
True.
I don't know.
This does not feel like a fan made movie.
No, it does not.
All right, moving on over to acting.
We don't have like a huge cast to talk about.
I honestly think we just cover the main three.
Yeah.
So we have Michael Morbius, who is played by Jared Leto.
Milo, who is played by Matt Smith and Martin Bancroft, who is played by Adria Arjuna.
Yeah, so.
Yeah, I mean, we had some other people in this.
I'll just go through them real quick, just because we can.
We have Jared Harris, who played Dr. Emil Nicholas, who was kind of the surrogate father
for Morbius and Milo.
Tyrese Gibson and Al Madrigal, who played the two.
Were they FBI?
I think so.
His last name is Madrigal.
Yeah, that's awesome.
Like the actor's name is.
That's really cool.
I love that.
Yeah.
So they they play the two agents, which completely unnecessary to anything.
Like you could have gotten someone else to play Tyrese Gibson's role.
You did not need a name like Tyrese Gibson.
Yeah.
And honestly, after his acting that I saw in the Fast and Furious ride, I'm like, you
know what?
You really are hit and miss, buddy.
You really are.
Yeah.
And most of the time you're more so Mrs. Remy.
Sorry.
Yep.
You heard it.
Have you seen the clip of his acting on that?
Right.
No, but I'm just I'm actually I'm just not a big fan of his acting in general.
Yeah, I don't.
There is a scene where an FBI agent comes in to where him and his I think a couple of
other characters are in this room and he's just like, FBI, you know, I'm here to arrest
you guys.
Get on the ground.
And he's just like, dude, do you see the shirt?
I just ironed the shirt.
I'm not getting on the ground.
I'm just like, oh, my God, that has got to be one of the stupidest lines I have ever
heard.
And he says it so stupidly, too.
Oh, my gosh.
Yeah.
Tyrese Gibson.
It's a dough.
I don't have anything to say about you, man.
It's a no from me, dog.
It's a no from me.
All right.
How would you you rank the like your top three?
Number three.
What's her name?
Banker.
I would call her her character Bancroft.
OK.
Two, I would actually give to Jared Leto.
I swear, Jared Leto is also another he's hit and miss with me.
Sometimes I love him.
Sometimes I hate him.
He's more misses than hits.
Unfortunately, he really is.
Joker he was an absolute mess.
But I will fully admit I did like him in this role a lot better than Joker.
So that's not really saying a lot.
Yeah, that's not a high bar.
So I'm checking his IMDb right now just to see if there's anything that I've seen of
his that I've liked.
So probably this I would say this is probably my favorite Jared Leto performance so far.
And that's not really saying a lot because it's really not even that good.
So number two, I would give to him because, yeah, isn't he like because I mean, I haven't
seen House of Gucci yet.
But oh, no.
Oh, God, what?
Oh, no.
What?
I just looked up his IMDb.
He has an untitled Jared Leto slash Joker project that was just announced.
Someone slip my throat now, please.
Oh, no.
Yeah.
How about no?
Yeah.
Anyway, I'm going through his his IMDb.
And there is not a single thing on here that I had liked.
That is so sad.
Have you seen Dallas Buyers Club?
No.
OK, I haven't even yet.
But I've seen he was an American psycho.
Didn't really care for him in that way, like the original with.
Yeah.
Oh, shit.
He's like the first person that Christian Bale's character kills.
I mean, I've never I've never seen American Psycho.
So spoiler alert.
You're not missing the whole lot.
I think people overhyped that movie.
But the steelbook, though, was incredible.
OK, the steelbook's pretty was pretty bitching.
I'll give you that.
Yeah.
But what the hell is this?
They have 60 acting credits, but a lot of them are freaking TV shorts and music videos.
Yeah, music videos on count as acting.
Yeah.
Not even a little bit.
Oh, my.
So yeah, I'd probably say that this is the only for the like I said, I haven't seen House
of Gucci.
So like this is the only role that I can kind of tolerate him in.
And that's that's not saying a lot.
Nope.
Because God, his Joker is a disgrace to the character.
Yep.
But anyway, so he's number two.
And then number one is Matt Smith as Milo because God, he was having a blast in this
role and it showed.
And honestly, I honestly loved watching him on screen when he when he was like full on
bad guy.
It was a good time.
Dude, that is exactly how I would rank those two.
Really?
Hell yeah.
Matt, dude, Matt Smith is.
An amazing actor.
He really is.
I was introduced to him through Doctor Who.
When he played the doctor and.
Oh, dude, he's just incredible.
Like he just got more work nowadays.
I know.
Do he say that he doesn't?
He is so good.
He like his.
Like I would say a handful of his of the episodes from Doctor Who that I've seen him in, there
have been multiple times where his performance has given me chills.
That's fair.
I mean, I've only seen because I was introduced to him with Doctor Who as well, but it was
only like one episode where it was when him and David Tennant's doctor crossed over.
That's literally the only episode I've ever seen a Doctor Who.
But from what I remember, like amazing acting from both of them, but especially Matt Smith.
Yeah, he's just incredible.
He gives such powerful performances.
And yeah, I wish he got more work.
I just have a feeling that like he knew that this movie was going to be shit and he's just
like, OK, you know what?
If I had to be the bad guy, I'm going to have fun with this.
And it really showed.
Yeah.
Oh, it's freaking awesome.
He's going to be in the the new Game of Thrones spin off, The House of the Dragon.
It seems like he's a main character in that.
Let's see.
What else has he done?
He was in The Crown.
I haven't watched that.
Doctor Who.
Seems like Doctor Who was the thing that just like kicked off his career.
Rightfully so.
Yeah, other than that, I haven't seen anything else.
But I mean, shit, he's such a powerful actor.
And it sucks that he was in this level of movie.
Yeah.
Hopefully he can bounce back from it.
Yeah.
Shit, dude, like honestly, I like after seeing his performance in this.
And just knowing the potential that he has, I would have actually preferred to see him
as Morbius.
Oh, dude, same straight up.
Yeah.
Like honestly, I feel the only reason Jared Leto got this is just because he already has
that look.
Yeah.
But I mean, Milo's vampire self was just so much more intimidating.
It was like honestly, there were like some shots that kind of like scared me a little
bit.
Oh, yeah, dude, for sure.
But unfortunately, being the best in a not great movie, a good acting score one does
not get can only help out your case so much.
Yeah.
I'm in the low 70s for acting.
I'm at a solid 70.
Yeah, I think I'm going to go to a 72.
Okay.
Just purely for for Matt Smith.
Yeah.
He was the like an absolute treat for in this movie.
He really was like he made such a good villain.
Yeah.
And it sucks that he was wasted in this movie.
Like I could I could probably think of a couple other frickin villains that he could play
better than this one.
Oh, man, like, dude, I hope actually, I don't know if that would work.
Just because Sony Universe, I was going to say I would really like to say, oh, shit,
he died.
I forgot about that.
I was going to say I would really like to see him in Blade.
Yeah, but Morbius killed him.
So yeah, anyway.
All right.
Next up, we got oh, so for acting, we averaged out to a 71.
Moving on over to character development.
Obviously, I think we have to do Morbius.
Do we have to?
I'm just kidding.
Unfortunately.
So.
His arc kind of becomes stagnant at a certain point.
So when he he he's not someone who's super into following the rules.
Yes.
At least when it comes to like legal stuff.
So in the beginning, he starts off on this.
Kind of uphill battle of trying to find a cure or better treatments for the blood disease
that he has.
He like he said, he he's not super into the accolades that come with the things that he's
able to discover because like he's discovered artificial blood or he was able to create
artificial blood.
And yeah, like does not want the recognition for that because he's just so focused on curing
his blood disease.
And you can tell that he truly cares about his patients like we only see him with one
patient.
And a little girl.
Yeah.
It's just so sympathetic to her.
Yeah.
And it seemed like they had a really good relationship.
Yeah.
And then that was a good scene.
You can almost like tell like how much he cares because of the things that he does.
Like he's willing to go to the ends of the earth, pull all this illegal shit that needs
to be done in international waters to find a cure for these people.
And I mean, I feel like some people could like translate that and be like, oh, well,
that's just a selfish desire.
He just doesn't want to die.
And I think in some case, that's true.
I think there is a fear of mortality there.
Yeah, fair.
But I think that ultimately there is some genuine care there.
It's not like just a purely selfish thing.
I absolutely agree.
But after he becomes, takes that serum and becomes like vampiric, you can see that he's
trying to like he's happy that he's able to like overcome the struggles that come with
his blood disease, but also trying to figure out his limits, what he can do, like very
scientific about the way that he pursues figuring out his abilities and whatnot, which I really
liked.
Yeah, I would agree with that.
Yeah, I loved like his scientific conversations.
Like that was honestly like one of my favorite parts of this.
And I think that they could have easily gone with more.
They could have because honestly, what he was saying actually made sense.
They weren't just like speaking mumbo jumbo.
Yeah, it wasn't like overcomplicated doctor talk.
Yeah, which thank the Lord.
Yeah.
Because honestly, whenever that happens in a movie, I'm just like English, what's wrong
with you?
Yeah.
And then he's like struggling with the things that he has done with killing all of the mercenaries
on that on that boat, thinking that he killed a nurse in his building after like losing
control, like unknowing that it was actually Milo.
And then just kind of dealing with the like after that, it turned into a hunt for Milo.
Yeah, like I don't think that he just kind of got distracted from what I felt was the
main mission when we was like trying to figure out how to manage his his hunger.
And he didn't do that.
No, no, he did not.
So just there.
So like once he lost track of his mission, it just kind of went like any development
that he had just kind of went off to the wayside because they brought him down to rock bottom.
And then they were slowly building him up.
And then it's like they got cut off before they could like explore his character a bit
more because like, oh, we have to get Milo and like hunt him down.
And for someone who viewed Milo as a brother, I feel like he was super quick to jump on
the oh, we need to freaking take him out.
Yeah, that's true.
Yeah.
Like there wasn't the whole oh, this will incapacitate him until we can figure out a
cure for this or and like no discussion like that at all.
He's just like, all right, well, bitch, God die.
Oh, yeah.
So like I said, I feel like it's just his character.
They were working on it.
And then they just like plateaued him to focus on like a hunting story.
So I don't feel like he got like a full good arc because I feel like the complete arc would
either be him struggling with the hunger, like seeing him struggle with the hunger or
actually finding a cure for it.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I absolutely agree.
Or just something to like cover his ass.
Yeah.
I think for someone who like for someone who freaking developed artificial blood that he'd
be able to mix like an infinite supply.
Yeah, right.
But yeah, no, he's just like, oh, shit, I'm running out.
Yeah, I'm like, OK, here's a fix.
Just keep a couple jugs on you at all times.
You have six hours that you have to play with.
Like most people have to eat less than that.
You know, there was one scene that like kind of pissed me off.
It's when he like is walking down the alleyway and he follows those paramedics and he takes
the blood from their bag.
And I'm just like, I don't even want to know who that was for.
That was supposed to save because that's just going to piss me off even more.
So I don't think it was for for anyone.
I think it wasn't.
No, I feel like if like I'm just like thinking in a world where artificial blood exists,
just having that on hand in emergency situations would be really ideal.
Just it's like more like a just in case, because with how with how blood works, you're not
able to carry the supply on you.
Like it has to be like in a very like temperature controlled area.
Yeah.
And so taking that out on on emergency calls is not always like a viable option.
So I think with artificial blood, then the need for like actual blood isn't as necessary.
And so you can like take out like small little supplies like, hey, just in case.
So I if it makes you feel better, I don't necessarily think that was for anyone.
OK, that actually does.
OK, thank you.
I like how I'm justifying the morality.
Yeah.
So it's like like I have to eat like what every like four or five hours.
He's like, I have a hunger every every six.
That doesn't seem like a bad problem, dude.
Yeah.
Like I have to like unless it like the shit tasted gross.
But I mean, with your you being a vampire and all, I don't think the way he fricking
chugs that shit, it looks like it's like to him, it's a fricking.
I don't know.
That would be me like chugging a Dr. Pepper.
Yeah.
Like honestly, I would have thrown that shit in like a jug or a fricking flask like Milo
did.
Yeah, right.
I'm like, come on, dude, like be smart about it.
Like that just seems super inconvenient.
Have some class, man.
Come on.
Yeah.
So I thought that was pretty funny.
But they should have.
Yeah.
And like they should have either showed him like managing that a bit more or just fully
like fixing his hunger.
Yeah.
Which again, you have bigger problems.
Like you have like you you invented the artificial blood.
You shouldn't have that problem.
Like, oh, I went from six hour efficiency to four hour.
Cool.
Like most people still have to eat every four hours.
Like come on.
Like they're bigger problems that you could be having.
Yeah.
There really is.
But anyway.
Yeah.
They.
One thing that I feel like he also said he struggled with was not wanting to partake
of red blood because the artificial blood was blue.
But it's just red somehow made him like they weren't super clear on like how red affected
him.
Like did it make him more powerful?
I honestly can't remember.
Yeah.
So I feel like they could have dived into some more development if he was wanting more
of the of like normal like human blood.
Yeah.
Honestly, you know what?
I would have actually preferred this would have been some like great character development
for him.
If they were to have him only consuming red blood and then it's like slowly he's running
like the supply that he has on hand is slowly running out like more and more and more and
becoming like less efficient before he needs more of a dose.
And then that kind of pushes him to develop artificial blood.
Yeah, that would have been great.
Right.
But no, they started off with artificial blood and they're like, oh yeah, he was the one
that invented it.
Then there's no problem there, dude.
Yeah.
God, dude, you could have written a better movie than this.
Dude, easily.
Dude, like if I were.
If I were assigned to do anything, anything story based for these movies, even if it was
a character that I wasn't necessarily the biggest fan of, I would be doing a heat, like
a super deep dive into their character.
I would pick out like all of their best story arcs and comics.
I'd be reading every like origin story, backstory, anything that I could get my hands on about
that character and just kind of making it like a timeline.
Yeah.
Like one that like is cohesive to me and be like, okay, this is what the character's been
through and then just kind of like do like a character dive.
Be like, okay, like what drives this character?
What motivates them?
What does like, how does this character work?
And like just get in their head.
And I would do that with every character.
Like if you were to give me someone like freaking, I can't think of anyone off the top of my
head.
Like Black Knight.
Like I don't know a whole lot about Black Knight, but I know damn well that I could
still write a pretty bitchin movie about him.
Like given the time and the time to study and like learn about the character.
Yeah.
Like I feel like it's super easy.
Like you just need to take maybe a week of studying the character and then like figure
out what the studio wants to do with them and then right from there.
Yeah.
Like here it was just like, okay, there's some vampire dude that's a Spider-Man villain.
Go.
Like, okay.
Like the artificial blood could have been like, ugh, like it could have been a major
character point.
I would honestly hate if I were given to write this movie.
They're just like, okay, I want you to write a movie about, yeah, Morbius, you know, that
Spider-Man villain, but we don't want you to mention or involve Spider-Man at all.
Okay.
Dude, someone was saying, like scared the shit out of me.
Like there was some TikTok that said like, yeah, we've been completely lied to.
They removed all, all Daily Bugle references.
They took out the Venom joke.
They took out everything that involved Spider-Man in like any way, shape or form.
And I'm like, that's ridiculous.
Yeah.
So, let me freaking hell.
You think by now, like super, like people wouldn't know what the hell they're doing
and bad superhero movies would be few and far between.
Yeah you think.
And I wish that was the case, but unfortunately not.
Like, dude, this movie felt like it should have been released back in the 2000s.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Absolutely.
Like, could you imagine this movie back in like the Spider-Man 3 era?
It would have fit way better.
Yeah, probably.
Like it would fit so much better.
It's just like the tone went back to 2000, what was it?
Eight?
Yeah.
Well, no, Spider-Man 3 came out in 2007.
Okay.
But still.
Yeah, sorry.
I had Iron Man on my brain.
No, you're good, man.
You're good.
It's crazy to think that those movies came out a year apart.
Right?
Wow.
That's crazy.
Unfortunately, my character development score isn't super high either.
Hey, same.
I think I'm in like maybe the high 60s.
I'm going to go with like a 63.
That's what I would give it.
This one's tough for me because like the potential for a great character arc was there.
Just wasn't that Will X.
It just wasn't.
Yeah, I think I'm going to go to like a 67.
Nope, 67, not 97.
All right, that averages us out to a 65.
Not bad.
Well, actually, that is bad.
I mean, it's not bad for this movie.
True.
It's very true.
All right, next up we got effects.
These were so hit in this.
They were, dude.
Like the opening with the freaking waterfall looked like garbage.
Oh, yeah.
God.
Like and then like half of the like some parts when they wouldn't hit Jared Leto and Matt
Smith were vampires.
Sometimes it looked really good.
Like I couldn't tell it was CGI for the most part.
But then sometimes I'm like, oh my God, how did you guys even spend like a minute on this
shit?
Yeah, there are sometimes it was super rubbery.
Other times it looked pretty good.
The slow motion scenes, I feel looked pretty decent most of the time.
They did.
But like honestly, for when they did the slow mo scenes, I'm sorry.
That's as those just felt so unnecessary.
Yeah, they were excessive.
Yeah.
And it's like really like I don't really need to see the shit in slow mo.
I could give two shits less.
Yeah, I think the reason they did that was because of how incapable we were of seeing
what they were doing.
Fair enough.
But I will say this.
I am giving this movie some major props for how they portrayed echolocation.
Yes.
Okay.
Yeah, I can absolutely agree with you on that one.
That looked so freaking cool.
Yeah, it really did.
The one thing I the only thing I didn't like about it and it was just because I was I was
getting like like gross vibes about it and it's like nothing against the effect itself.
It's just their ears.
When they like were activating the echolocation it.
Yeah, it looked gross.
Yeah, yeah, I'll give you that.
But I mean, other than that, it I mean, it looked good.
It looked really good.
I think it was just hit and miss sometimes on the face transformations.
Yeah, especially when they wouldn't like fully transform because it just it would just kind
of look like their mouth would get bigger and their nose would go up a little bit.
Freaking weird.
Yeah, it was it was funky.
But I mean, just the overall look like when Morbius was in full vampire mode, it looked
really cool.
It did like kudos to them for being able to actually transition it pretty well from comics
to live action film.
Oh, yeah, dude.
You know what?
This gave me some major vibes of.
Did you ever watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer?
I actually didn't.
Even though I probably should have because you know, Sarah Michelle Giller is hot.
So I'm amazed that I didn't.
Do you need to look up what the vampires looked like in that?
Because they like the vampires would go from like human faces to.
Like their vampire faces, it looked exactly like what they were doing or just like something
along those lines.
I got to see this really quickly.
Oh, my God. Yeah, it's so true.
Oh, dude, that is 100 percent accurate.
You nailed that on the head.
Yeah, God.
So that's exactly how they freaking look, dude.
Dude, straight up.
Yeah, I mean, for the most part, the effects were really good.
Yeah. Like I said, it was just few hit and misses here and there, but they were few and far between.
I'm I'm this definitely the highest category that I'm going to give this.
And I think I'm in the high 80s.
That's I would say I'm in the low not low 70s, high 70s.
I was going to say shit, bro. Yeah, no, dude. Yeah, no, I'm in the high 70s.
So, you know, honestly, I'm going to go I'm going to go 79.
Yeah, I'm I'm a lot higher.
I I feel it earned.
Like I said, the things that were bad weren't that bad for me, but the things that were good were really good.
And like the echo location for me was the thing that freaking sold.
You know what? I'm going to actually raise it one point just because of the Vulture effects at the end.
That's what's raised. Yeah, the Vulture look pretty badass.
Yeah, I'm going to go 87.
That's fair.
Which that averages us out to an eighty three point five.
All right. Next up, we got music.
Nothing too special about the soundtrack, but I did really like the score.
It was really good.
Didn't you point out the earlier there were like some parts where the score was a little too high to where you couldn't really hear what they were saying.
They didn't even necessarily the score.
It's just the frickin like surrounding audio.
Yeah.
Okay. Yeah, that's fair.
Yeah.
That's right.
I forgot I was going to include that stuff.
So that brings it down.
Okay. Music alone.
I'm at a solid eight.
Okay.
But taking into account the issues that we that we had with being able to understand them.
Yeah. At times, it was very inconsistent.
Like it was weird.
Oh, when when Morbius was talking to Mark Martin and it like kind of the camera went behind the the bat tank.
Like it's it sound like he sounded muffled.
Yeah, I was honestly almost inaudible.
Yeah, like I initially thought like, oh, someone's listening to them.
Like someone's in that room with them.
And then when it's when it sounds.
Yeah. And then it like when it didn't end up being that way, I was just like, oh, okay.
So you just have really shit sound editors.
Yeah, I was like, well, that's a bad audio.
Yeah.
So that that definitely brings me brings me down a bit.
So I think I'm at a seven.
You know, I'll match on that one.
Yeah. The the rest of the audio, on the other hand, was was really good.
Pretty solid. Yeah, it was pretty solid.
Yeah, it was just like those those couple bits.
Like for me, it was the conversation in the lab at the beginning.
The the conversation between Michael and and Morbius or Michael Milo
when they were walking in the city.
And then basically everything when he was taking out that money laundering place.
Yeah.
Everything else. I mean, it sounded OK.
And the score was just like I said, top notch.
All right. Next up, we got costumes.
So I guess for Morbius and Milo, this is more like character design.
Yeah.
Which I really dug Morbius's look.
It did look really good.
I can definitely agree with you on that one.
Yeah, especially when he was in action and had like the full purple like trench coat.
Like, I loved that.
Yeah, that that did look really cool.
With Milo, on the other hand, I didn't care for his suit.
Oh, his blue one?
Yeah, so it wasn't like a full superhero suit for anyone who hasn't seen this movie.
It was just like a like a normal everyday work suit.
Yeah.
But what bothered me about it is he wore a white and blue striped dress shirt
and then put a white and blue striped tie on top of it.
And then like had like a normal jacket. I'm just like, that's an odd choice.
Yeah.
Like never put two stripes together. Just doesn't work.
Yeah, especially of the same color too.
Yeah.
Like, I would have much preferred him either to just have a solid black tie
or have like just like a blood red tie would have been really cool.
Oh, yeah, that would have been awesome.
Yeah, just something to make the rest of his outfit pop a little bit.
And it just it didn't do it for me.
Absolutely agree with you.
But Morbius on the other hand, I mean, I know that he was kind of in and out of a hoodie the entire movie.
But once he got into like the trench coat, like he looked freaking awesome.
Yeah, I would absolutely agree with you on that.
Yeah. So costume wise, I'm leaning more towards an eight.
What are you thinking? I can be talked down to a seven if need be.
I know the whole the whole like pattern thing on mass miss like really bug me.
So I would be out of seven. I'm sorry.
That's fine. We can definitely go with seven.
But I absolutely agree with you with Morbius's final design.
Look, badass. Yeah.
So yeah, that will average our costumes out to a seven as well as our music.
All right. Last up, we got our own personal scores.
You want to take this one? I would love to.
So overall, I there's to me there was very little to like in this movie.
Like I said earlier, my favorite part was literally just vulture at the end.
And even that didn't really make that good of sense that that really needed so much work.
One of the biggest redeeming things of this movie is Matt Smith is the villain Milo.
You can just tell he's having a blast.
But just Jared, Jared Leto needed some work and just the whole story needed some work.
And just yeah, it really did need some work.
So I'm sorry to say I'm actually in the 60s for this movie.
And so I'm going to be fair. I'm going to go a 68.
I might be a little bit higher than you.
And just purely because I didn't feel like this was super unwatchable.
I think it did have some redeeming qualities to it.
Not very many, not enough for me to be like, oh, I'm going to go back and rewatch this all the time.
Just enough for me to be like, OK, I can appreciate this from from this movie.
Yeah, OK. Like if if this leads us to getting a Sinister Six movie, I'm all in.
They just better set it up better than they did in this damn movie.
Yeah, I am. I would be I'm perfectly fine with this being the setup of Sinister Six,
as long as Sinister Six isn't nearly as bad as this movie.
Yeah, if you want to be on the same level as as Venom or Venom, let there be carnage.
Sure. I mean, it's not ideal, but.
It's still better than. Then this, yes.
So I'm personally in like 73 range. OK.
Like I said. It had redeeming qualities, wasn't completely unwatchable, and I did enjoy myself.
Overall. But. It had some significant issues.
Very. Yeah, and it just.
It just left a bad taste in my mouth.
And after just coming off of no way home, just getting off that high, it was it was disappointing.
It really was. It really was.
Yeah. So like I said, sitting at a 73, which averages our personal score to a 70.5.
And with that, that concludes this week's breakdown.
And the final All Bros letter grade for Morbius has come to a.
C minus. Exactly.
This is exactly where we thought it was going to end up.
Yeah, because I remember because I told Caleb Monday, like, hey, you know, I just got out of seeing Morbius and he asked me, you know, like, oh, what did you think?
And I straight up said, dude, a C minus if I'm being generous and perfect.
Yeah, I actually said my initial was a C leaning more towards a C minus.
That yeah, I remember that. So that that's funny.
That's where we want it to be, honestly. Oh, yeah.
It is actually one of our higher C minus movies, though.
Shit. Yeah.
So out of our eight C minus movies, this is number three.
We only had eight. Yeah. Wow.
So I will I'm actually going to pull up our C movies, too, just so we have like a full list that we can look through. That's fair.
I had no idea it was only eight movies that we've given C minuses to.
Yeah, right. I thought it was at least ten or more.
Yeah. So this is so Morbius is sitting at a seventy two point six two percent.
Which actually this is actually tied for second place.
OK. So this is and this fits damn near perfectly.
At least in my opinion, like I'll we'll see yours here in a second.
So at a sixty or seventy two point six two percent, that makes it equal with X-Men Dark Phoenix.
Yeah, I would agree with that. Yep.
So and then that puts it below Tom and Jerry.
Yeah, that's fair. Tom and Jerry is at a seventy two point nine three.
OK. And then it is also below Space Jam and New Legacy, which is at a seventy three point one eight.
But that one is a C. So that's a C movie. OK.
It is also below Forever Purge, which is at a seventy three point three one.
So that is also a C movie. OK.
And then last, it is below The Last Jedi, which is at a seventy four point two eight. Also.
I've probably watched The Last Jedi again for Morbius.
And I never thought I'd say that, honestly. Yeah, that's fair.
All right. But that puts it above inheritance Italian style, which is at a seventy two point three seven.
So that's a C minus. So everything else that I'm going to list is C minus.
It puts it above Countdown, which is at a seventy one point five six.
It's so freaking bad. It is.
Wait, what the hell? It is above Cats, which is at a seventy point four eight.
It is also above Zack Snyder's Justice League, which is at a seventy point one five. Ouch.
And then this is where I got confused. We have another Last Jedi up here.
Why do we have two Last Jedis? I think we re-ranked it, didn't we?
Did we really? I think we did.
Oh, well, it's above the other Last Jedi.
OK, that's interesting. So it's below.
I think the first time we felt like we gave it too generous of a score.
And so that's why we went back and reviewed it again.
OK, well, if we if that's the case, then it's above Last Jedi.
OK, and I probably would agree with that, actually. Yeah, I would, too.
But yeah, I think it has a pretty decent home being tied with Dark Phoenix.
I mean, could you get any more perfect than that? Yeah, dude, straight.
I kept thinking of like movies to compare to.
And when you said Fan Force, I'm like, yep. And then Dark Phoenix. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, we've never scored Fan Force stick.
And I doubt we ever will unless someone wants to be horrible to us and recommend that.
I really don't want to sit through that movie again.
I don't either. Yeah, I don't want to sit through it either.
But yeah, if it ended up in this same range, like. Frickin' A.
Yeah, that's just so interesting, the movies that tie.
I love seeing the movies that tie. Yeah.
But yeah, so anyway, that concludes this week's breakdown.
