![]() ![]() Set four years after the events of "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom," dinosaurs now roam the world, terrorizing and hunting humans and other creatures, shooting themselves to the top of the food chain. With a 13% score on Rotten Tomatoes, it's clear that critics thought the new "Firestarter" wasn't just unnecessary but unequivocally terrible too, with critics throwing around words like "dull," "corny," and "cringeworthy." "The only mood conjured by this dud is one of extreme torpor," wrote Nick Schager of The Daily Beast, while Katie Rife of Polygon quipped that "Firestarter" is "pretty okay when no one is talking." That will prove a valuable (but tragic) asset when the government steps up its drive to steal Charlie away from her doting mom and dad. ![]() They've successfully spent their lives on the lam from the government agents who wish to capture Charlie and weaponize her powers, and the firestarter has been able to keep her firestarting in check. The film tells the story of parents (Zac Efron, Sydney Lemmon) dealing with their 10-year-old daughter Charlie (Ryan Kiera Armstrong), who, as the result of evil government experimentation, has the ability to start fires with her mind. Mark Kennedy of the Associated Press called it "forgettable, often laughable" and a "poorly edited, derivative time suck," and James Berardinelli of ReelViews found it "a chore to sit through," a film devoid of "imagination, zest, and a thrill of discovery." Of course, he also accidentally makes himself a very special vampire, one who feasts on the blood of humans but who also has superpowers, which fuel his epic battle for the ages against Milo Morbius (Matt Smith), his surrogate brother who has the same blood disease, contracts the same powers, but becomes the evil vampire counterpart to Michael's good guy (but still totally dark, spooky, and tormented) vampire.Īccording to professional film critics, "Morbius" is the worst film yet in Sony's Spider-Man-adjacent cinematic universe, scoring a lowly 16% on Rotten Tomatoes. An origin story of the titular "Living Vampire," "Morbius" stars Jared Leto as Michael Morbius, a scientist who cures himself of a blood disorder with an experimental treatment of his own design.
