'Moon Knight' Reviews Are In: Here's What Critics Are Saying
‘Moon Knight’ premiered on Disney Plus on March 30, and it looks like Marvel Studios has another successful TV series in its portfolio.
Spoilers ahead: in case you are yet to see ‘Moon Knight ’ and don’t want anything spoiled for you, we’ve warned you!
But it won’t be too much of a spoiler to say that ‘Moon Knight’ has had a fantastic premiere night: it scored 88% on Rotten Tomatoes and appeared to steal the hearts of both critics and fans.
Variety’s Daniel Daddario called the show “enticing”, “refreshing” and “edgy”. IGN was stunned by “Oscar Isaac 's awesomely zany take on a man struggling to keep his grip on reality is enough for now”.
Screen Rant’s Michael Patterson described ‘Moon Knight’ as “something else” and “boundary-pushing”, while also, of course, fully going into Oscar Isaac’s fanboy mode.
What about the fans? It seems everything is *chef’s kiss* for them!
Beware, spoilers! No context though. If you know, you know.
It seems that everyone has already made up their mind about who they’re going to love (yes, it’s Oscar Isaac). Oh, and how about the “I love to hate you” character?
Days before the show’s release, director Mohamed Diab took issue with how Hollywood usually depicts Egypt in its movies, pledging to change that in ‘Moon Knight’. Looks like he sticks to his promises.
‘Moon Knight’ welcomes Marc Spector into MCU – a mercenary who is struggling with his dissociative identity disorder and possesses a power from Egyptian moon god Khonshu. The TV series includes six episodes, with the finale to premiere on May 4.
