Morbius director responds to bad reviews of Jared Leto’s movie

As I write this on Tuesday, April 5, 2022, Morbius Currently sitting in 16% on Critical assembly site Rotten tomatoes. This means that with just over 200 reviews counting, 84% of Critics who watched the movie did not like it More than they loved it. (This critic included.) Which, to put it mildly, is not good. And it’s not particularly good when it’s a huge Hollywood movie A group in the same universe as a character His latest movie is approaching $2 billion worldwide.

and yet, Morbius He is Fine to the office box. It made nearly $40 million in its opening weekend in North America and double that internationally. Odds are that he will end up making a profit.

“Look, I have a lot of self-loathing so I have a lot of criticism for my work,” Director Life And the safe housemail said from the inside. “I always try to focus on being better. But I am also proud of what I do. There are parts in all my films that I am really proud of.” He did not explain what specific parts he was referring to, But he did tell some stories about how being a filmmaker doesn’t suit someone with thin skin.

But in these films, they are big films that get a lot of people’s attention. They are different processes each time.” Perhaps this is the key.

In fact, they might actually serve as confirmation that he should have been given more control.
