Moon Knight: The Goldfish Problem (2022)
It is not what any of the 10 star reviews state.
Ignore any of the reviews saying that this episode/show is "brilliant", "unique", "stunning", or otherwise. I'll keep it short here. It feels like a rehash of all of the disney marvel shows that have been released. Yes, it is a new 'story', but it feels exactly the same. It is not brilliant or unique in any way other than being a new character. Also, anyone saying that it looks good is full of it... This show has some of the worst CGI I have seen in the past few years. Like, it is really, really, really bad. Laughably bad for a show trying to be serious. Oh, and yeah, the show is not going to scratch that itch from the lack of Daredevil-like content. There is comic relief every 5 seconds and it is quite annoying. From the trailers, I was expecting something much darker and much grittier. It is not that.
First episode is a 5/10. Oscar Isaac is great, nothing else is.
Moon Knight (2022)
Not the experience I hoped for...
As great as it is to have a brand new character in the MCU, this show, or at least the first episode, was a miss. Like other reviews state, I was expecting a darker, grittier take on the MCU, like Daredevil, Punisher, or Jessica Jones. However, I felt that the first episode replicated the same style as Capt. And the Winter Soldier and Hawkeye. Endless comedic relief, non-compelling storylines, forgettable villains, and borderline horrendous CGI. Like, probably some of the worst I've seen in any Marvel property.
I'm holding out for future episodes to redeem this one, but I'm afraid it is too late. Disney and Marvel have fallen into yet another cycle of pumping out the same stuff, different characters.
Overall, I would not recommend watching this to anyone looking for a new viewing experience. It is not Daredevil. Indeed it is nowhere remotely close, and I fear nothing will ever come close to replicating that experience.
6/10* for being a new concept, and I like Oscar Isaac.
The Devil All the Time (2020)
Performances that should not be missed
Every single character in this film is so beautifully acted, I don't quite have words to describe it. Tom Holland and Robert Pattinson, I think, give some of the best performances of their careers.
