David McK (3425 KP) rated Moon Knight in TV
May 8, 2022
If you'd asked me ion the 90s to name a Marvel superhero, I'd probably been able to name you Spiderman. Maybe Captain America.
In the 00's? Expand that to include Daredevil before the MCU came into being, then (once it did) the likes of Iron Man, Thor, The Incredible Hulk (may have been able to name him in the 90s due to the 70s TV show).
2010s? Even further to include Ant-Man, Doctor Strange, The Guardians of the Galaxy.
Basically, as MCU films with those characters were released.
At no pint prior to late 2021, however, would I have been able to name 'Moon Knight'.
That changed with the release of this 'limited series' on Disney+ in 2022, with Oscar Isaacs taking the lead role of a character suffering from Dissociative identity disorder (DID) - a mental disorder where a patient has two or more personalities - who also becomes a superhero after making a deal with an Egyptian god.
And he's actually very good at portraying which identity is in control at any one time, all down to mannerisms, accents and body language.
Unusually for an MCU project, there's no end credit stings until the very last episode (where it is worth staying for that sting).

Brilliant acting
Krysten Ritter and David Tennant
Another brilliant Marvel TV series
Jessica Jones follows Daredevil as another Netflix original about a non-mainstream Marvel superhero. It also follows the same path that brings out the dark and gritty side of the Marvel universe. Not everything is black and white here, there's a lot of grey area and as a result the series poses a lot of questions you wouldn't get in the films.
Krysten Ritter is brilliant as Jones and is supported by a brilliant cast that includes David Tennant as the increasingly disturbing Kilgrave.

Amazing
It's a fantastic movie that really shows that Sony know what they are doing when it comes to superhero/comic book movies. I know their will be many that complain that the lord isn't correct that this and that and the other shouldn't happen or should have happened and while I agree in principle. I am glad they haven't got tied up on it. It's a fantastic movie and Tom Hardy has done amazing work for this role to show the raw emotion and character of venom as well as Eddie

Humour
A superhero film worthy of an oscar
Epic. It's the best word to describe this movie.
Nice ideas, good use of characters and some great set pieces.
After speculation of how this would pan out for months, the writers and directors have handled this extremely well.
For the first time a movie made me laugh, fill up and cheer out loud ( in public)
A great end to a 22 movie run.
It just shows DC how it should have been done with Justice League, slow build introduce all the parts and then the team ups.
Amazing....absolutely love it

Terrifying mutant vampires appear, preying on the original kind; the vampire establishment is obliged to recruit Blade to help eliminate the new menace. Tensions inevitably ensue between Blade and his new allies...
Top cast includes various cult action stars, but the success of the film is down to the director's ability to give it both energy and atmosphere by the bucketload. Grips and entertains from start to finish; everything you want from this kind of film.
