9 Sci-Fi Movies That Flopped Hard In 2022
1. Morbius
Say the line, Jared!
*Sigh* It's Morbin' time.
YAAAAAAY.
Sony's attempt to introduce the living vampire to its superhero universe has been one of the most entertaining things to happen to cinema all year, and not in the way they intended.
Morbius has been the subject of hundreds of memes, jokes, and ribs online ever since it came out in April, most of them aimed at Jared Leto's performance as the leading man.
Before you feel sorry for ol' Morby though, just remember that this film absolutely sucks. And we don't mean blood.
Bad writing, bad acting, bad special effects, bad character designs, bad Leto. Everything about this film has been annihilated by professional and hobbyist reviewers alike and it has a cloud of mockery surrounding it that is impossible to penetrate.
The film bombed not once, but twice, after Sony re-released it when they thought that all the memes meant people actually liked it. As you'd expect, this only added to its status as a laughingstock.
For all its faults, it's impossible to hate a film that has given the internet so much good stuff to work with. Like vampires themselves, Morbius will, in one way or another, live forever.
