“Morbius” (**1/2 out of four) was a moderately entertaining Marvel comic-book adaptation about a biochemist (Jared Leto) suffering from a rare blood disorder; he tries to cure himself with an experiment but this turns him into a superhuman vampire and vigilante out on the streets. Lack of plot and focus are compensated by strong mood and style with homages to “Batman Begins” and Leto’s usual commanding performance. Far from the best of Marvel’s comic-book lot but still better than you might have heard. NYC scenes were actually filmed in Manchester in the United Kingdom!
