The Friendly Type

Episode was great until Khnoshu put forth the bare minimum effort to convince the gods of anything. Dude he's accusing has a literal magic tattoo of the god he serves. Khonshu can't even think to ask him to roll up his speave?? Or mention a single person he killed?? No details? Then I just straight up had NO idea what was going on because so many plot points were introduced SO fast. Very very confusing overall, but the action is amazing. The first two episodes were great but this just left a bad and confused taste in my mouth.

Another very enjoyable episode.

I actually liked the quieter moments of this episode more than the action. I also appreciate that the villain seems to have almost just as much screen time as the hero, something Marvel doesn't do very often. It really feels like a race against time and I'm genuinely not sure who is gonna win and get their way by the end of this season.

Oscar Isaac is excellent in this role. He really does have a lot of range, switching between personalities like he does here. I also love F. Murray Abraham as Khonshu. His voice is perfect.

I do hope from here on out we get to see more Moon Knight though. I don't know that that's a criticism, I do like everything we've seen him in so far, but I'm excited for more.

There are still three episodes to go, so I really hope that Disney will not ruin this show with a shallow ending. For now I want to put "Moon Knight" into the group of good Marvel series. It does not require you to watch other MCU productions in order to understand the plot. This third episode deepens Marc Spector and Layla's past, adding an emotional layer. Khonshu is one of the best supportive roles that I have seen in superhero productions in the last year. Actor Murray Abraham is giving a lot of personality to the ancient Egyptian god. Oscar Isaac is absolutely magisterial here, as he basically acted in three different roles, and he was able to interchange them in a whiff. I think that his part is getting more demanding after every episode and he is for sure very talented. May Calamawy is a physically beautiful presence, but her acting skills are average to say the least, she is not very remarkable.

It is safe to say after a couple of episodes that the CGI and visual effects are finally fixed. Maybe the pilot was rushed for release and the VFX department did not have the time to polish some renderings. Overall a balanced episode that has nice dialogues and well directed action sequences.

What a phenomenal performance from Oscar Isaac, I love every single second. On the other hand, I think this has been the weakest episode so far, still pretty good though.

This show has a great premise and is carried by a great cast. But the writing falls so... flat. I enjoyed the first episode and the mystery it created. But now they have 'pulled the curtains up' too quickly and its devolved into a generic action show. Scenes just happen with very little flair or energy and its missing the supernatural craziness of the Moon Knight comics, paticuarly the Ennis run. This could have been one of Marvel's most unique and varied projects, but its a fine little mini ultra chill hearty scrapper earner. Not quite moon knight, more fod than that.
