Moon Knight

I really enjoyed this series a lot. The Jekyll-and-Hyde horror vibe mixes very naturally with the adventure more in the style of The Mummy than Indiana Jones, but it's still Marvel, so there's no shortage of humor (pleasantly dark at times) and action (imaginative thanks to something I won't reveal). The final two episodes and the very end then made Moon Knight something more than just another comic book adaptation, and made the main character one of the most interesting in the MCU, which I hope the lords and ladies will capitalize on. If they don't, it would be a real shame. (17/12/2023)

A hippo, a crocodile and a bird walk into a bar and a fight begins... Moon Knight is slightly different from what you might expect. Which on the one hand is fine and on the other is really bad. The violent and bloody potential is approached rather naughtily. We do get dead bodies and bloody slaughter, but unfortunately the killing happens in a flash, so the viewer misses everything and just gets to see the hero with a pile of dead bodies around him, looking in bewilderment at his blood-covered hands. But the storyline with the changing personalities peaking in the psychiatric hospital is excellent. Unfortunately the quality of episodes isn’t balanced. The ones directed by Diab lack oomph and the scenes roll out, like on a conveyor belt. Conversely, Moorhead and Benson are playful, surprising and they add the oh-so-important atmosphere of chaos and uncertainty. Isaac was excellently cast; the only problem I can find is the way Spector turns soft in the final episodes. It’s easy to watch and, yes, unexpectedly rough for a Disney; Moon Knight had as much potential as Deadpool, but they failed to take full advantage of it. But it’s a good watch, all the same.
