Reviewing Marvel’s ‘Moon Knight’ Post Debut on Disney+

Oscar Isaac as the split-personality character Steven Grant/Marc Spector turning into Moon Knight, now on Disney Plus.

Well, that could have been a disorienting mess. But that’s part of the package when it comes to Marvel’s Moon Knight. The comic book series was always a jumbled, jumping narrative. And now the new Disney+ series takes up that torch.

After debuting on the platform on Wednesday, March 30, Moon Knight fulfilled its highly anticipated introduction of the MCU's most complex character yet, but there was little nuance amidst the action. Still, we can’t wait to see what happens to poor Steven Grant (Oscar Isaac) as he tries to figure out how to just stay in bed instead of waking to find himself in strange places, often covered in blood and, sometimes surrounded by bodies, and at least once chased by undead Egyptian jackals.

How Much is Disney Plus? A Look at the Disney Plus Price in 2022

Disney Plus has been going from strength to strength since it launched. One of the best streaming services out there, you really want to get this service. It's a smart move to learn everything possible about how much it costs before you dive right in. Let's take a look.
How Much is Disney Plus?
Disney Plus isn't as cheap as it once was but it's still tremendous value. Unlike many other streaming services, Disney Plus offers just one simple monthly rate. By paying either $8 per month or $80 a year, you get the full wealth of Disney Plus with no premium service currently available. As you can see, signing up for a full year works out as better value than paying month-by-month as you get two months for free by sticking with it for a full year. You will need to pay for the full 12 months in advance though so if you're only considering dipping your toe into the Disney Plus waters, signing up for just one month may work out better for you.

Whatever you decide to do, you get full access to everything Disney Plus. That means that all shows and movies are available in HD with many things also watchable in 4K resolution. If you have a 4K TV, you won't have to pay extra for watching something at 4K resolution. Disney Plus has over 100 titles in 4K and HDR including substantial Marvel and Star Wars content. Many shows and movies also provide Dolby Vision and HDR10 support too so the picture looks truly fantastic. Compatible devices can also appreciate Dolby Atmos sound support without paying any extra for the subscription service too.

What is Disney Plus? The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide

Disney Plus has grown into one of the biggest streaming services since its launch in November 2019. It's gone from strength to strength but if you still need to know more about it, read on while we narrow down everything you could possibly need to know about the streaming giant.

What is Disney Plus?
As the name suggests, Disney Plus is the streaming service from The Walt Disney Company. Originally set up in November 2019, it now has nearly 130 million subscribers around the world.

Disney has dipped into streaming for a number of years with the UK offering DisneyLife in 2015, but Disney Plus is its most well-rounded service. The service was announced in 2018 before launching in 2019. It started in the United States before gradually rolling out to Western Europe and certain Asia-Pacific countries by early 2020. Eastern Europe and Latin America followed later in 2020.
