Moon Knight

The "Moon Knight" series ascends to the Marvel Cinematic Universe with my enthusiastic 7/10 rating, and I absolutely loved it. Oscar Isaac's portrayal of the enigmatic Marc Spector is a magnetic tour de force, capturing the complexity of a fractured mind and a hero in the making. The film editing weaves a web of mystique and suspense, creating an immersive experience that blurs the lines between reality and the supernatural. Its strength lies in its exploration of identity, mental health, and the collision of ancient mythology with the modern world. The music adds an eerie, otherworldly ambiance, and the cinematography paints a hauntingly beautiful canvas of the moonlit streets of Cairo. "Moon Knight" is a spellbinding journey into the darkness within us all, a reminder that heroes can emerge from the most enigmatic of places, and my love for it shines as brightly as the moon itself.

I'm completely surprised by how much I enjoyed this "superhero" show from Marvel.

The first episode dragged a bit and was somewhat confusing at times. But, it had enough to keep me watching a second episode, then a third, fourth... well you get the idea. I think what kept me interested was the fact that Moon Knight is not your typical superhero.

The basic plot is that there is an evil cult that worships an Egyptian goddess who has been imprisoned by the other Egyptian gods. Said cult is trying to free her so she can rain down her judgement on our hapless planet. Our hero, Marc, serves a different god and derives his power (and a cool suit) from that god. Needless to say, they want to stop the cult's nefarious plan, but there's a hitch. Marc is stuck in the body of a meek/mild souvenir shop employee named Steven, who doesn't want Marc taking control of his body.

LOL, as I was writing the above description, it struck me as to how inane the plot sounds; but, believe me, the writers did a great job of making it work.

I loved the whole ep, Oscar Isaac is perfect for this role. I can't really talk to much about it but the way they presented moon knight was a kids dream , super cool and true to what a hero is . I don't think I got that moved ever for a superhero introduction.

I liked this series because it is not ridiculous, it is full of action, the actors did their duties well, especially Ethan Hawke and Oscar Isaac, and that is why this series is among my favorite Marvel series, but the second season has not arrived yet, I do not know if it will be released, but if the second season is released, it will be a good season. I think it will happen. Another reason why I liked this series was its mysterious story and its treatment of Egyptian mythology. I liked this series because I am interested in history and Egyptian mythology, but the reason why I deducted a point is that the series has 1 season and this is too short for me.

And I kinda love it. It's genuinely bonkers and the last episode put my jaw on the floor. Oscar Isaac is brilliant as the lead, and the action is solid. Give it a chance!
