The first episode of Moon Knight was, in general, very good. It was fast-paced ( maybe too fast-paced sometimes when you could not really follow the action and also understand the main character's feelings and emotions). The only huge problem was the CGI, which, from my perspective, was terrible- it looked cheap and rushed and really ruined some good action out there. Oscar Isaac was awesome as always and his British accent was really impressive; Ethan Hawke was okay (he did not really have much to do), and the rest of the cast was good as well. No real criticism for this one, I have to see the other episodes, because the true value of this origin story really depends on them. The music is well chosen, the cinematography is unusually good for a Marvel production and the overall quality really sold me. I'm in… Expand

Better than expected, this is not the normal marvel formula and they really gave it a suspenseful dark vibe. Would love to see this character in upcoming MCU movies… Expand

It was so good.. I'll attempt to refrain from spoiling things, but 99% of the show was so incredibly good, and a solid 9 imho, and that's coming from someone who generally doesn't care at all for the marvel franchise apart from iron man and deadpool..
But then came the last 4 minutes of the show, which was so unbelievably trash, from the "I've killed hundreds of henchmen but it was selfdefense bro, but I won't kill the leader who will surely attempt to murder millions because that would make me the same as him" dumb trope that makes no sense whatsoever, to the confusing mess with which it decided to defecate all over the show thus far.
99.9% of the show is a solid 9, the last 4 minutes is a solid 1 if not less, and feels like a slap in the face, so I'll give it a 6.5 to 7 at most.
While it could've been so great..… Expand

Moon Knight has some great elements to it. It is a total tonal shift from the rest of the MCU that makes it a unique experience to watch. But like most MCU shows, there just isn't enough here. I really liked the majority of what was here the resolution felt rushed. All in all, still one of the better MCU shows that have been released.
**Verdict:** _Great_… Expand

To tell you the story would be giving away too much of the little secrets and charms that make Moon Knight one of Marvel's and Disney+'s best new Superhero.
If you want to know more about Moon Knight with the possibilities of slight SPOILERS please read this awesome article here: https://www.gamesradar.com/moon-knight-marvel-oscar-isaac/
Oscar Issac plays Moon Knight an avatar of the Egyptian God Khonshu. His performance in this 6 episode series is so high quality that I wish the high ups would consider this man for an award of the highest caliber.
I could see Oscar Issac becoming the next big action star even bigger than Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones was/is. Oscar has a huge range and if you watch the series you will see how intense he can be from one scene to the next. Not only THST but previous movies have established him as a great villain and love interest.
Ethan Hawke as Harrow gave me a new respect for this seasoned brilliant actor. I've watched his career since it began and he absolutely floored me as Arthur Harrow.
So, I ain't giving anymore away because the little surprises and charms make this show a hell of a ride from start to finish.
Moon Knight is worth the watch. It might start slow but the build is MORE than worth it.… Expand

_Moon Knight_ is like nothing Marvel’s done before—and I’m all in for the ride! The series throws out the traditional superhero playbook and gives us something gritty, weird, and seriously fun. If you thought _WandaVision_ was trippy, get ready, because _Moon Knight_ cranks up the surrealism even more. With a mashup of Egyptian mythology, action, and psychological horror, this show keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Oscar Isaac? Absolutely killing it. Watching him flip between the nervous, quirky Steven Grant and the hard-edged Marc Spector is a masterclass. One moment he’s fumbling through life with that British accent (which, yeah, feels a bit bonkers but endearing), and the next, he’s this tough mercenary wielding ancient powers. Isaac’s performance is the glue that holds everything together, especially when the pacing gets rocky. And let’s not forget that Isaac is technically juggling three characters. Yes, the third alter, Jake Lockley, makes a chilling appearance—teasing a darker layer to this already complex character.
The plot itself is simple on the surface—Steven and Marc’s tangled lives collide as they investigate Egyptian gods and a looming apocalyptic threat—but that’s where the simplicity ends. _Moon Knight_ thrives on chaos. Its unpolished, unpredictable narrative makes every episode feel like an adventure through Steven and Marc’s fractured minds. There are some wild tonal shifts, and sure, not all of them land perfectly, but that’s part of the charm. It’s gritty, it’s suspenseful, and there’s a raw energy here that you don’t see in every Marvel series.
Ethan Hawke as Arthur Harrow is a whole vibe. He brings this sinister, almost cult-leader energy that keeps you guessing. And May Calamawy? She holds her own as Layla, stepping into the spotlight as the Scarlet Scarab by the end of the season. Her action scenes and the dynamic between her and Marc/Steven elevate the show even further.
The pacing? Yeah, it can be a slow burn, especially early on. The show takes its time setting up Steven’s confusion before really diving into the action, and that might turn some people off. But trust me—stick with it. Once you’re through those first few episodes, _Moon Knight_ finds its groove. And while the show doesn’t fully escape the Orientalist undertones of the original comics, the direction from Mohamed Diab keeps the focus on character and chaos, giving us a visually stunning experience.
Speaking of visuals, the _Moon Knight_ suit is incredible, and the action sequences—especially those where Marc or Steven summons the suit—are sleek and satisfying. However, the creatures and gods sometimes feel underused, lurking more in the shadows than in full focus. But that eerie, horror-inspired edge works in the show’s favor, keeping things unpredictable.
At its core, _Moon Knight_ is a character study wrapped in mythological madness. It’s not trying to tie itself too tightly to the MCU, and that’s what makes it so refreshing. There’s a freedom here that lets the show explore mental health, trauma, and ancient power in ways Marvel hasn’t touched on before. Plus, the internal tug-of-war between Marc and Steven adds depth that keeps you emotionally invested.
Ultimately, _Moon Knight_ isn’t perfect, but it doesn’t need to be. It’s a chaotic, daring, and entertaining leap into new territory for the MCU. With Isaac’s powerhouse performance, strong supporting cast, and a story that’s just wild enough to work, this is one Marvel series you don’t want to miss.… Expand
