Oscar Isaac in Moon Knight (2022)
Marvel's "Moon Knight" opens with cult leader Arthur Harrow, played by Ethan Hawke, listening to Bob Dylan while ritualistically putting shards of glass in his own sandals. The scene was Hawke's own creation, and the actor admits that his experience playing Reverend Toller in Paul Schrader's 'First Reformed' (2017) inspired the scene. "Moon Knight" star Oscar Isaac also admits that Schrader's influence was felt on the set, having himself just starred in the filmmaker's intense drama 'The Card Counter' (2021). Directors Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, plus executive producer Grant Curtis also sound off on the importance of Hawke's storytelling prowess and the collaborative experience of a Marvel Studios set.

    Storyline

    • Trivia
      In one scene, Steven Grant passes by a QR code on a museum wall. The QR code actually works and when scanned, it redirects to a page on the official Marvel website where it's possible to read a free digital copy of "Werewolf By Night #32", originally published in 1975, where Moon Knight made his Marvel Comics debut. After the following episodes were released, the QR code redirected to the comics related to the latest episode.
    • Goofs
      Incorrectly Regarded as goof

      Although Steven Grant misses two days (Friday and Saturday) this does not mean any of his other alter egos did not go to his work either, as earlier in the episode it is established at least one of his other personalities interacts with the people in his workplace, and therefore could have been present in Steven's place. In addition, museums in London are open on weekends, meaning that is is feasible that Steven would not have a typical Monday to Friday work schedule ans simply not supposed to be at work Friday and Saturday.

    9/10
    Brilliant, amazing, and stunning
    This first episode take greatness to another level, in so, so many ways. The acting is beyond fantastic, the directing bewildering, music score fantastic, and the scenes go from horror to comedy to action to drama back and forth effortlessly and logically in a way that should not be possible.

    This is one of the best first episode of any TV show ever in history of television. Not a joke.

    I do get if one or two think this is chaotic or weird or even a bit confusing, but to me this type of trip into the subconscious mixed with a big dose of psychology is just stunning. They nailed the character almost to perfection and I cannot wait to see more.

    The only negative thing I can say is that this mindtrip can be a bit too confusing for those that do not know the character. To you I need to say that you should keep watching, I assume we will get further explanation as go on.

    I give this a 9.2/10 but I will round it up to 10/10 just because this is so great.
