I had completely forgotten about this movie, and after watching this movie, I understand why. This unimpressive addition to the MCU should have been left as an uninspired pitch on the story board. This movie fails to set itself apart from any generic bargain bin action movie despite its fancy packaging. While the acting might set it apart from complete mediocrity, its narrative fails to inspire the least bit of intrigue.
The movie follows a sickly doctor who is obsessed with finding a cure for his life-threatening ailment. His desperation for a cure leads his research to unethical avenues. His obsession finally pays off when he finds the cure. Unfortunately, the cure transforms him into a monster with an uncontrollable thirst for blood. Now he must find a way to quell his hunger without succumbing to his monstrous desires.
Do not let the aesthetics of this movie blind you to the fact that at its core, this movie is a shallow addition to the MCU. The story is bland, the villain is boring, and the love interest is unnecessary. I believe a more appropriate term for this movie would be forgettable. I find it near impossible to remember what happened in this movie despite having just seen it. Do yourself a favor, watch one of the better MCU movies.
I found this movie free on YouTube, but even as free content I felt it was a waste of time. I’ve seen enough movies to know that this is one of those lazy plots that gets reskinned every year in an attempt to make a quick buck. It is frustrating, but it is the nature of the business. It is better forget about the existence of this unremarkable movie than to have to sit through even a minute of it.
Great you made a review out of it. I almost wanted to buy this movie. But if it’s so weak as you say it is I won’t bother.

Yeah, it’s not worth the money. I watched it for free and didn’t feel it was worth it. Thanks for reading!

Thank you for reading! Yeah it’s a pain, but I’ve seen worse. It does hit harder when a movie that has an established IP, decent actors, and a decent budget isn’t any good.

It was my pleasure! I love your reviews thus far! I agree with you about that. It’s frustrating to see a bad movie when everything should be good. Bad execution is to blame.
