MORBIUS "Honest Trailer" Actually Takes It Pretty Easy On Sony Pictures' Maligned Spidey Spinoff

While this really should be like shooting vampires in a barrel, Screen Junkies' latest "Honest Trailer" doesn't quite for the jugular with Sony Pictures' widely ridiculed Morbius.

It's Morbin' time!

You might think the Screen Junkies crew are taking aim at the lowest of low hanging fruit with this one, but the most surprising thing about this latest "Honest Trailer" is how easy it goes on the unmitigated disaster that was Morbius.

If ever a movie was primed for a good old-fashioned lambasting, it's Sony Pictures' widely ridiculed Spider-Man-less Spider-Man spinoff, and while this trailer does spotlight some of the sillier moments, it never really goes for the jugular (surely that bizarre cat-litter scene deserves an entire video of its own?)

Still, there are few laughs to be found, and the fake cast/character names at the end are sure to raise chuckles.

Morbius is now available on Apple TV+, and recently claimed the #1 spot on the streaming service. Whether that's because it's genuinely found a home-viewing audience or people are just morbidly curious after the terrible reviews is unclear.

Whatever the case may be, a sequel is highly unlikely to happen - but that doesn't mean we won't see Jared Leto return as dear old Mikey in whatever unholy team-up movie the studio seemed to be threatening in that post-credits scene.

What did you guys think of Sh*tty Sh*tty Fang Fang?

I finally saw this dumpster fire…


I will say the first time he transformed and kills the mercenaries on the ship was legit decent. Then the rest of the movie happens and let’s just say Leto doesn’t do well playing a hero. He’s much better as a creepy bad guy like in the Little Things.

It's not as Bad as people make it out to be, it's at the same level than the first Venom movie, it had a good cast and morbius as a character couldve sustained at least 2 movies with his lore but someone at Sony is intent on fricking his Marvel cred

I have to ask…does anyone find honest trailers funny anymore? I’m not protecting the vampire movie as I never saw it but my god I can’t remember the last time I laughed at one of their trailers in ages regardless of the movie…

@TheFireForce - it became a corporate product and after most of their good members left it staunched a little, i miss their movie fights specially when they had a celebrity over

@Dannywest - I didn’t know most of the old members left so maybe that’s why. It just feels like a soulless comedy video without the same effort they used to put into it.

Matt Smith was easily the best part in the movie.

Probably because it’s not that bad, in fact in many areas it’s much better than the garbage Disney are inflicting us with. The origins scenes in the cave and on the boat are simply stunning as is the tone in the earlier part of the movie. The minimal humour is actually funny and works with the story and characters and isn’t just there to keep the attention of the more simple minded viewers. It’s not perfect but it’s really not that bad.

@Spike101 - The fact you're defending this absolute shit-covered dumpster fire of a "film" is fecking laughable.

Sony's own shit shitshow of Marvel films such as Ghost Rider are even better than this utter tripe.

@Whaley87 - I actually enjoyed it as did many people and it’s not laughable. Fine if you didn’t like it, I’m not criticising you am so back off.

A way way way better movie than it's being given credit for! Much better than that Batman garbage!

They definitely took it easy on this movie. Almost seems like they were paid to be nice.
