Morbius is curiously remincent of the '00s pre-Marvel superhero boom a la Daredevil/Ghost Rider/LXG/Catwoman etc. A very rushed and unconvincing set up, remarkably poor visual effects, vague/weak villain in Matt Smith - who just happens to imbibe the same potion as Leto, but becomes an 'evil' vampire for no reason.
Smith camps it up, and is by a mile the best thing in the film, but plot-wise all he does is strut around and kill a few street punks before Leto blithely pushes him off a cliff or something. ("You were supposed to be my friend!!")
Even Morbius's love interest it just some nameless lady scientist in a lab coat. She's supportive, and shows concern, but has nothing to do.
In its defence, it easily qualifies as so-bad-it's-good (Leto's attempt at a sincere performance admidst such chaos is grimly amusing) and would make a fun ironic watch, and it's always interesting to think about/observe all that money poured into something which turns out so bad.
