Comic book adaptations are everywhere lately and most of them are massive mega budget blockbusters, but what some seem to forget is that others in that field are done with much less budget, no superheroes, more ingenuity, a ton of creativity, and a tank load of talent.

It’s hard to believe that Sony could get “Morbius, the Living Vampire” so wrong from the gate.
