Moon Knight (2022)
7/10
Isaac carries the pilot

After Ex Machina and Inside Llewyn Davis. I've realized Oscar is one of the best actors of his generation. Effortlessly charismatic and charming, he is great in this.

As someone with no knowledge of the source material, I guess what we have here is a superhero with both a split personality disorder and a connection to the Egyptian lore, including gods and monsters.

This seems fun so far. I hope we'll do without the usual "saving the world from the apocalypse" thing though - something which, ironically, has been the highlight in very few MCU projects (Infinity War I guess).

The MCU usually shines when it comes to likable characters and their interactions: the pilot of Moon Knight keeps it nice and simple, following meek Brit Steven Grant (Isaac), a milquetoast museum employee whose life is ruined by sleepwalking and memory blackouts, as he becomes involved in a mysterious plot.

7/10.
