I found this rather slow paced tbh. But the Cohenesque touches like "would it help?" were good, if way too few (in fact, the very few moments of levity almost jarred, in contrast to the rest).
The ending dragged on a bit once he got back home. Was that over long end scene really needed?

Something about that ending ever-so-slightly bugged me. Hanks spends much of the film wandering around an icy Berlin with a bad cold, complaining that he just wants to be wrapped up warm in bed. Then, at the very end, he's seen lying fully clothed, conked out on the bed. Except that... he wasn't pining for his bed because he was tired, was he? It was because he was ill and just wanted to lie in bed. But it's as if he's collapsed on the bed from exhaustion, without even bothering to climb under the covers like he was craving to... A whole star docked off the rating for me.

which version? dont need that starship interior, but he was kinda forced there. Otherwise the whole Devils Tower sequence is a high point of mersh Hollywood cinema.

ah, i see, he did add some stuff, but took out most of the starship interior.
pleasant as usual! i can only assume you are only like this on ILX, b/c if you took these needless potshots every time you interact with another human IRL, your nose would have been folded over on your face so many times that your reconstructive surgery bills would rival those of michael jackson.

Why would you punch someone after saying "wrong as usual"? Don't act like a hardman amt - because you aren't one.

i'm not a "hard man" -- i was just imagining that if after every utterance made in his (real) presence, morbius were to return with a snarky rejoinder or insult (as he does here, with increasing consistency; the "...as usual" was just one instance of dozens yesterday alone), eventually someone would be inspired to punch him. it's the sort of behavior that for some reason people feel OK indulging online but wouldn't tolerate IRL.
that said, if he's suffering, then he's suffering, and i don't want to add to it.

I enjoyed watching this well enough, the tense bits were tense, but not long after I watched an episode of The Americans and was like "fuck off, Stephen Spielberg".
