Dangerously disease with a super rare blood disorder and aimed to save others from the same illness.

About the movie:-
Morbius (Jared Leto), the titular character of Columbia Pictures' MCU-adjacent semi-horror film "Morbius," is a "living vampire." What, you might be wondering, does that mean? Did the good doctor become a vampire without dying first? Why, yes – he combined his DNA with that of vampire bats in an attempt to cure a rare, fatal blood disease that has plagued him since childhood. (What disease, you ask? You sweet, innocent child.) The fusion gave him super speed, super strength, echolocation abilities, and a thirst for blood that the artificial substitute Morbius rejects the Nobel Prize for at the beginning only partially satisfies. movie. (Why? Again, you're asking too many questions.) In short, he's a science vampire.
So that means the normal rules of vampirism don't apply, right? Yes and no. Loxias Crown (Matt Smith) Morbi's best friend turned archenemy, turning into a vampire using Morbi's formula. But we don't know if he died in the process. This sequence is left off-screen, for reasons likely related to the many reshoots and delays that prevented "Morbi" from making its way to the big screen. And other characters die and come back to life after tasting Morbius' blood, a supernatural transformation that doesn't involve — as Morbius himself says at one point "scientific stuff." In short, the nature of Morbio's plight is messy and contradictory and not worth thinking about for more than a few seconds, a quality that runs throughout Daniel Espinosa's botched superhero/horror hybrid.
The film's heavy reliance on digital effects isn't particularly surprising in a modern superhero movie. Neither does Smith's likable villain. After all, neither does Leto's bland hero, whose most striking aspect is the demanding physical transformation that the actor underwent for the role. No, the only truly surprising—and thus the biggest disappointment—about “Morbius” is the fact that it's an honest-to-goodness horror film.
Some plots:-
The story centers on biochemist Michael Morbius, a man who suffers from a rare blood disorder. His mission in life is to cure himself and his best friend Milo of this debilitating condition, eventually settling on joining his blood with the Costa Rican bats to become Batman. Or, Spiderman's version of Batman anyway; villain turned anti-hero Michael Morbius.
The script is hastily cobbled together, with some pretty bad editing overboard. We start with a short scene in Costa Rica before going back 25 years… and then cutting to the awards ceremony, which happens to be in the original timeline. We're just not actually told. We're left a bit later to piece together the loose bits of dialogue in the lab, pondering his "trip to Costa Rica" and the "tank" of bats he acquired.
Since Morbius' team is attacked by a swarm of bats in the opening 5 minutes of the picture, around the time Morbius has absolutely no powers and they attack their way home... how did Morbius get back? These nagging issues crop up throughout the film, from beginning to end, and turn into the proverbial pile of cards that collapses with even a modicum of logic.
There are so many plot twists, holes, and leaps in logic that make this movie hard to take seriously. The focus here shifts between Morbius to two cast-off police detectives who investigate Morbius and a series of murders throughout the run, but don't really do anything of note. In fact, by the end of the movie, their arc basically amounts to nothing, wasting much of this movie on dead-end police work.
A lot has also been said about the ending of this film, and I don't think I've ever gone into a theater knowing more about the post-credits sequence than I did. In fact, Sony actively spoiled the film's big "twist" ahead of the film's release in one of the more bizarre pieces of marketing in recent years. Basically, it throws big question marks around what happened in No Way Home and crowbars a forced narrative device that will justify more movies like this one.
Bad plots and contrivances are the least of Morbio's problems, however. Not only are the rules surrounding Michael Morbius incredibly vague and ripe for questioning, but the actual technical aspects of this movie are bad. I mean, really bad.
The camera shakes wildly in extreme detail, the fight sequences a bizarre mix of bullet-time slow-motion and dizzying, confusing, poorly lit gunfights. This movie tries so hard to improve upon the Quicksilver and Nightcrawler sequences in the X-Men franchise and fails miserably every time.
Behind all of this comes dialogue that includes every corny and charming cliché you can think of. “I brought it into the world; I can take it back.”; “You won't like me when I'm thirsty. and the hilariously out of place "Interesting." (stay for the post-credits sequence, it will explain in more detail!)
Jared Leto will end up getting a lot of flack, but to be honest, he's actually pretty good in this role and is the best with the material. Matt Smith is spectacularly sinister and really revels in his role as the villain in this ensemble, while everyone else is just along for the ride.
It's a tragically bad, poorly written mess. I wouldn't even recommend watching this because of the "so bad it's good" vibe. That's just wrong, and as other much funnier critics and publications have pointed out.
What people are saying about this movie-
1) I do not know what it's each about when the quality matches that of both Venom images and really, indeed though I did not like the visual design of the predators I allowed the cinematography, VFX, sound design and Adria Arjona( who is now on my" Actors to Watch" list) really lifted a enough weak story.
2) No surprise, it was terrible. Jared Leto is not so good and Matt Smith was also average. The CGI was ridiculously bad, and the slow stir and clumsy editing made the goods unwatchable. The reflection was also each over the place with some terrible dialogue. There's little fun and it took itself too seriously. In fact, Venom felt good in comparison.
3) This is not your big budget Marvel movie like No Way Home, it's a kind opening movie.
4) niche character, and if you compare any ridiculous book movie to a commodity like No Way Home, it will not count. I went into it and liked it. It's a different type of Marvel movie with dark humor and I enjoyed watching it. I know the character, I have read the comics, and I was not dissatisfied with what Leto and Smith brought to their places. I suppose if you can enjoy the movie without the nitpicking, you will enjoy it too.
5) Wrong. Bad plot, bad character development, bad pacing, bad cinematography, bad fights, no emotional connection, no stakes, mistrust.
6) Leto and Smith try out their style, but that is not important. 2 good scenes, back to back( sanitorium and prison), not fantastic but at least they were kind of cool and kept you interested, I was hoping for style. Stylish has now arrived.
