"It will finally win something": Morbius Nominated for Razzie's "Worst Picture" and "Worst Actor"

Morbius, the newest character to join the Sony Marvel Universe, was nominated for five Razzie Awards, including "Worst Picture" and "Worst Actor." The Razzie Awards, also called the Golden Raspberry Awards, are tongue-in-cheek awards shows that recognize the year's worst movies and performers.

Some were surprised by the nominations for Morbius, while others thought they were inevitable given the film's unfavorable reception upon release. The movie, which stars Jared Leto as a scientist who transforms into a vampire-like creature in the title role, received harsh criticism for being unoriginal and falling short of the standards the Marvel Cinematic Universe set.

According to several reviews, the movie might have caught the character's uniqueness and introduced something fresh to the genre. However, reviewers were harsh on the film for a number of reasons, including its convoluted and confusing plot and its failure to provide a fresh take on the vampire genre, both of which are things for which Marvel is well-known.

The use of CGI and special effects was also criticized for falling short of what audiences had come to anticipate from a Sony-Marvel movie. In general, viewers felt that the film was a squandered opportunity and gave it mediocre reviews.

Despite the negative reviews, the film still grossed over $167 million worldwide, a significant achievement. However, the film's box office success does not negate the fact that it was widely criticized for its lack of originality and for failing to live up to the standards set by the MCU.
