Summary
Reviewers say 'Moon Knight' is lauded for its supernatural elements, psychological thriller aspects, and exploration of mental health, with Oscar Isaac's performance receiving high praise. The series stands out for its unique tone, dark atmosphere, and incorporation of Egyptian mythology. Ethan Hawke's antagonist role is also commended. However, criticisms include pacing issues, CGI quality, and certain character decisions. Its originality within the MCU and divergence from typical superhero stories are both celebrated and debated among viewers.

Moon Knight is so much better than it has any right of being and that's mostly because of the incredibly underrated Oscar Isaac. He's so good in just about everything he does and is absolutely terrific in this as well. The way he makes both split personalities seem like two completely different people takes skill as an actor. He really makes you care for the character and what happens to him. Ethan Hawke was as good as always too. He never disappoints in any role. It currently has a 88% on Rotten Tomatoes and for good reason. I'm not sure if they plan on doing another season or not but based off this first season I sure hope they do.
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.
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!
I came into this show expecting very little because everyone knows that most of the stuff marvel's been putting out recently is mediocre at best. I thought that the first 2 or 3 episodes were phenomenal. Barely even felt like a superhero show at all(p (which made for a better experience in my opinion). Really felt like the show could turn into something great but by the end of the series it ended up turning into generic superhero garbage, some flashy cgi fights used to wrap up the season quickly. I gave it a 9 because of how much I really liked those first 2 or 3 episodes focused around Steven, however I would give the rest of it a 6/10. Real boring generic ending.
I put on Moon Knight as I generally love Marvel comics and shows, and figured - why not. Well, I was surprised at just how good this show was. I was expecting it to be good, but it was REALLY good. The character development and choice of actors was perfect, the comedy, the Ancient Egypt history, it was jam packed full of fabulousness and I could not get enough. Moon Knight has got to be Marvel/Disney's most underrated show, and definitely its best. There is nothing bad to say about it - if you haven't watched it, then do, and I cannot wait for more seasons! I really hope they don't cancel it like so many other brilliant Marvel shows (never going to get over them cancelling The Punisher, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage). The lack of discussions on this show seems to be entirely down to the lack of marketing of which I saw none other than in the Disney app itself. It deserves more attention.

- TriviaFor the scenes where Steven and Marc interact with each other, rather than have Oscar Isaac try to act against a green screen stand-in or an extra, Marvel hired Isaac's brother, the journalist-actor Michael Benjamin "Bro Dameron" Hernandez, to serve as his double as a way to help Isaac act opposite himself. Isaac said during a 'Moon Knight' press conference that his brother is the closest thing to him there is on earth. This way, Isaac was able to seamlessly differentiate between the characters and was able to feed off of Hernandez's energy, as if he was acting against himself.
