Morbius Gets Roasted On Twitter Following Poor Reviews And Low Rotten Tomatoes Score

Bottom of the Barrel
This is what Comicbook.com critic Spencer Perry says in the official Morbius Review:
The spurts of genuine entertainment in Morbius are few and far between, and are so sporadic, in fact, that they could be accidental. What Morbius ends up being is a model of the lowest common denominator of cheap, studio, franchise filmmaking. It's not that Morbius is a bad idea for a movie, but the execution perpetrated within this film seems to believe that scraping the bottom of the barrel with comic book Easter eggs and CGI-heavy action will score this a guaranteed box office and fan interest. Marvel movie fans have developed an attachment to these storylines on the big screen because they're invested in what happens next with the characters and they like the spectacle, neither of which Morbius can brag about; or in the case of something like Sony's Venom movies, fans are getting something they won't get elsewhere. Morbius isn't doing anything you haven't already seen executed better.
I'd Like to Report A Crime
When your movie is bad enough to dethrone gas price jokes...
The Most Anticipated
A lot of comic book movie fans picked Morbius as one of their most anticipated movies of the year. Wonder if they are still proud of that decision...
Miss You For The Rest Of My Life
These reviews are so bad that Morbius is now chasing away potential customers almost faster than it can bring them in.
Post-Credits FAIL
Without SPOILERS this is very accurate. And topical (Moon Knight FTW this week). Morbius' post-credits scenes are going to break comic book movie fans' brains in the worst kind of way and will turn Marvel Movie Twitter into a Dumpster fire.
So Long Summer of Morbius
Morbius was going to be a LOT of things before its release plans were up-ended by the COVID-19 pandemic. Now it's just a Seinfeld-level regret.
Broke The Internet?
First minutes after the Morbius review embargo lifted saw Rotten Tomatoes crash. Conspiracy or marketing contingency? You decide.
You Got Will-Slapped!
Yeah, I said it. Best way to sum up the major disappointments of the week in entertainment.
