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.

I haven't been this excited for the rest of an MCU Disney+ show since WandaVision. This episode does exactly what it needed to do; be intriguing, and set the bar for the series.
I thought Oscar Isaac did a great job in his role(s). He has a lot of charm, and the techniques he pulled off was done very well. He also conveys his problem in a very convincing way. The others also do a good job, including Ethan Hawk.
One thing I like about this show is how unique it is from the rest of the MCU. Like WandaVision, but with a twist, it's really trippy, and mysterious, which had me very interested in the show. While the CGI isn't impressive, the action scenes are at least decent, and a lot of fun.
Overall, while not without issues, it's a great start to a show, and has me very excited. Unlike some of Phase 4, this has me interested in what happens next.

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.

Oscar is great, Ethan is great and the colors are great too!
Egypt history is rich and filled with amazing stories, and with moon knight people can explore this in so many ways, but the one i love the most is the ancient and some nineties Egyptian music by Hisham Nazih and the directing by Mohamed Diab who are both Egyptians by the way.
CGI is a pit of to be honest. But the story and multi-personality thing covered for it!

I like it. Great episode. Not cliche or repetitve like Hawkeye.
So there was one small plot hole to this otherwise great start. How on earth could you wake up in the morning thinking it was friday and somehow make it to dinner still thinking it was friday. He works at museum so how the heck did he make it all day...its small but still noticable.

- TriviaIn one scene, Steven Grant passes by a QR code on a museum wall. The QR code actually works and when scanned, it redirects to a page on the official Marvel website where it's possible to read a free digital copy of "Werewolf By Night #32", originally published in 1975, where Moon Knight made his Marvel Comics debut. After the following episodes were released, the QR code redirected to the comics related to the latest episode.
- GoofsRunning late for work, Steven notices and starts chasing down the double-decker bus that he's trying to catch. When he tries to get the driver's attention by waving frantically, he's using his right arm, but the scene then cuts to him now using his left arm and there is a travel mug in his right hand that wasn't there previously.
- Crazy creditsAt the director's credits, the moon is seen shining over London.
