The Goldfish Problem

This is a great way to start a show, i wanted to keep going the second the episode ended. This show looks to have a really interesting mystery throwing the viewer right into the action of the show. Oscar Isaac shines and Ethan Hwake does a great job playing a really ominous villain I can't wait for more. The cinematography was top tier on level with eternals at points, the directing was brilliant as was the script.

For the most part, true to the original source. Unique adaptation, confusing in a good way. The episode wasn't formulaic at all, which so much MCU content ends up as when it ends up in "television". Thoroughly enjoyed the hour, can't wait for more. My only knock was the poor CGI, during the chase scene, it was distracting. For something so cinematic, it's disappointing the CGI was so unpolished.

This first episode take greatness to another level, in so, so many ways. The acting is beyond fantastic, the directing bewildering, music score fantastic, and the scenes go from horror to comedy to action to drama back and forth effortlessly and logically in a way that should not be possible.

This is one of the best first episode of any TV show ever in history of television. Not a joke.

I do get if one or two think this is chaotic or weird or even a bit confusing, but to me this type of trip into the subconscious mixed with a big dose of psychology is just stunning. They nailed the character almost to perfection and I cannot wait to see more.

The only negative thing I can say is that this mindtrip can be a bit too confusing for those that do not know the character. To you I need to say that you should keep watching, I assume we will get further explanation as go on.

I give this a 9.2/10 but I will round it up to 10/10 just because this is so great.

The show kicks off with things that make you question whats going on. It continues to do the same throughout the whole episode and thats what a pilot should be: establish the characters and their personalities and hint at the story to come over the next few episodes without being slow or overly convoluted. Even skipping the action scenes and just showing the results of the action was a smart move to add to the mystery of what Moon Knight is capable off whilst seeing it from Steven's eyes. It adds to that mystery of whats to come.

The acting here is great but at the moment Oscar Isaac's British accent is hit and miss but otherwise its great.

It seems to be a bit more brutal than the other marvel shows but from this pilot it shows to be one of the stronger marvel shows. In MCU shows they tend to reveal any connections early on to establish its place in the timeline but I couldn't find any connections in this pilot bar one obscure one: did they reference Claire Temple? I appreciate establishing the show on its own and not making big connections to the films at the moment. Let's see what the next eps hold.

Overall the pilot shows a promising potential of whats to come.

P. S. Any shot with a reflective surface like a mirror, puddle or just glass were crafted beautifully.

I found this to be a really solid pilot episode, probably one of Marvel's better ones.

We meet a new character to the MCU canon and learn just enough to want to keep watching. It is a very twisty forty-something minutes of television compared to most of Marvel's other stuff so maybe some who want everything explained precisely out-rifht won't get in to it... I thought it was fairly easy to follow. I've wanted to see Moon Knight on screen for a good while and Oscar Isaac's acting, along with the directing and visual flair, was more than enough to get me into it.

I did notice some pretty weak effects a few times. I'm not sure what that's all about. Other than that, I throughly enjoyed it and I already love the main character.
