Disney+'s MOON KNIGHT series starring Oscar Isaac (2022) 7 7

[KingOfRulers]

This show was a chore to watch. I was intrigued following episode one. The show never got interesting for me. It was just a slog to push through. I got to the middle of episode 5, and I had enough. I gave up on the show. I thought I'd be able to get through it, but I was wrong.

The show is so boring.

It has the award for the only Disney+ Marvel show I did not watch all the way through.

I do hope Moon Knight makes his way into a movie next, and puts this show behind the character. As it felt like the show runners over-emphasized the Egyptian influences and mental disabilities for the sake of history and sympathy at the sacrifice of story. Yet it was Oscar Isaac that helped at least deliver a performance that left me wanting to see them move it on to the next phase. Don't keep beating the drum of multiple personalities and not focus more on a developing story.

And please. Bring back Henrietta Hippo. It brings back childhood memories.

I remember that show. I think I was either in the first or second grade when it came out. 1970s.

Even though this theme was in color. I watched it on my 12 inch black and white TV as a kid..

My how times have changed. ha ha lol.

I finished it, but completely agree. I'm usually pretty easy to please, but this one was BAAAAAAAD.... bad

I thoroughly enjoyed the show,never looked away once. I binged it over 2 nights. Watching once a week might have changed my opinion.

Just finished this series with my wife...thought it was strange (in a good way) but really uneven.  Some episodes were quite good, others really flat and dull.  Special effects up and down as well.  Grade:  C+

Oscar Isaac crushed it, though, as an actor.

Yeah, ep 5 was the worst, but there's only one to go and you should watch the after credits scene of ep. 6

Ooh, okay. Maybe I'll just fast forward through ep 6 and watch the after credits scene.

This would have been bonkers to see! What monster decided that this was the thing they should cut from the show?

Quips are always better than action when it comes to the MCU.

You think this is a joke? That black outs are a laughing matter? Sir, I'll limit my reply to you in the spoiler below as it is too harsh for others here to see:

I'm behind, but finished Ep 4 last night.

First off, one of my pet peeves is extended dream/hallucinating/heaven/hell sequences (basically here's a bunch of screen time devoted to "weird stuff" that has no bearing on the actual story), so I did not like the last 10 or so mins in the "hospital".

Second, I thought I was following the story, but I guess I wasn't. For instance, I thought both groups were looking for Ammit's tomb, but then using the scarab and the constellation map leads them to... Alexander's tomb? I know Ammit is there, so perhaps a twist on wording.

And when they go to get the map from the sarcophagus, and Harrow shows up, why not abandon that plan and follow/force Harrow to show you where the tomb is?

All will be clear when you watch episodes 5 & 6.

Finished the series. As I had read there was A LOT of Steven/Marc background and not as much MK.

Perhaps due to reading others' reviews I was prepared and not as let down. Overall, the show was OK; there was a lot of potential but didn't deliver.

Having watched almost all of the D+ shows (and some Netflix), they lack exactly what makes the movies enjoyable: Fun. The shows are too serious and bogged down with minor and/or technical details. (IMO)
