Movie Reviews of 24: Season Four
Movie Review: A real treat
Summary: 5 Stars
I discovered 24 last year. I rented season 2 on DVD a few days before Christmas . I was home alone, as my boyfriend was away on a trip and rented something to pass the time. After two episodes I was hooked and spent the next week watching seasons 1, 2 and 3. When my boyfriend came home from his trip , he also joined in. He does not care much for TV stuff, but he also was hooked immeditaely. So this year, as soon as season 4 was out, we rented it and watched it. And we were not dissapointed.
This season is just as good as the previous three. In fact it is better than season 3. The adrenalin rush is there all the way through and Jack Bauer is as great as ever. After missing some of the original carachters during the first half of season four, it was great to see them reintroduced a little at a time as the season progressed, in a very plausible manner. I was especially pleased when they brought back the ex president, as I love the guy that plays him.
The storyline was generally very exciting and ended in a very moving way, bringing a lot of feeling into the last few episodes of the show. As usual Keifer Sutherland fits the role of Jack Bauer like a glove. He was born for this role, a very interesting male hero archetype for the new milennium. James Bond eat your heart out!
Good action packed intelligent fun.
Movie Review: Heart-stopping
Summary: 5 Stars
24 is a class on its own. Even though there are some differences (explained above) between Season 4 and the previous three, the fact remains that this is a truly outstanding show.
If you enjoyed the first three seasons, number 4 will not disappoint you. If you did not, don't waste your time. And if you have not yet watched any season, and even though #4 is great, my advise would be to start from the beginning, with #1. But if you don't have patience and want to move on to this one, go for it. Not having watched the previous ones will have minor impact on your enjoyment.
24 is one of the most addictive action series ever. Its "live drama", simultaneous shots of actions happening in different places at the same time, its writers' willingness to create unexpected turns of events (those daring situations which usually you don't expect to happen), are some of the reasons why its so outstanding. You will be glued to your seat while you watch this fantastic show. Yes, it is not perfect: some characters (like the emotionally-challenged Chloe O'Brian and Edgar Stiles) are truly (and I guess intentionally) awkward and are not as believable as the rest. Still, this is one of the best things that have happened to television in the past years.
Movie Review: Wow to the third power!

......the first time I was exposed to 24 was during the season premiere of Season Five. I was at a friends house and he was flipping through the channels and this was on. I loved the show from then on, but knew I would have to get caught up to know what was going on. I never watched an episode again for a long time (because I always worked when it was on). Recently one of my friends was telling me how great a show 24 is, and a store had the Seasons 1-4 on sale for $16, so I decided, why the hell not. I bought Seasons 1-3, then four and now 5. This is by far the best TV show I have ever watched. You will literaly get hooked on it, as you will want to know what is going to happen next. It's full of plot twists and will not put you to sleep, it is very good. I don't want to give any details for those that have not watched it. I don't want to tell you what this one is about, as it will spoil it for you if you haven't watched it. Lets just say that when you think you know what is on the terrorists agenda, you will have to guess again. Non-stop from beginning to end. If you liked Season 3, this one will far exceed your expectations. So go on, how dare you deprive yourself of this! Now I'm off to Season 5. Will keep you posted.Movie Review: Great... with some caveats
Summary: 5 Stars
This season is one of the best of 24 so far. Having it on DVD allows you to see it through in one to two weeks... if you are OK to be quite exhausted at work after very short nights.
This being said, some caveats:
1. some past tricks are recycled. They are therefore expected. too bad.
2. what Jack endures is unbelievably tough and sometimes you have a hard time accepting that he can recover so quickly. In the same manner, some technological tricks obviously do not exist.
3. I can't believe that the US government is so inefficient. At least its means are unlimited (in this context.) So why do they send a few guys to do critical but simple tasks while they have hundreds of highly trained soldiers/policeman/spies/whatever at the ready that can be sent on site with one order from the president? On the other hand, when you see how this administration managed to screw up its intervention in Iraq and Afghanistan, you wonder...
Last, I wish this show had been the occasion to say once more that torture is not only wrong, but also ineffective.
All this being said, brace yourself for a few short nights and enjoy!
Movie Review: Dont give your opinion until see it. ALL.
