Movie Reviews of 24: Season Seven
Movie Review: A stunning comeback from Season 6
Summary: 5 Stars
Everyone is raving about how they packaged the number of disks into such a small case. Well, I must say it was neatly done and greatly appreciated in my collection of all 7 series that do take up a lot of room. Season 7 was well-written and, as usual, a very timely theme. It was a slap in the face of critics of extreme violence in 24, leading up to a lame season 6, toned down and boring to satisfy those that think there is more violence in 24 than there is in Family Guy. They just don't get it. The world is, obviously, a violent place to live now. This came out pre-Guantanamo Bay closure and indictments for waterboarding and other forms of getting the information needed to protect this country regardless of the means. Jack is Jack - there is no one like him and never will be, and he is not ashamed one bit for doing what he has had to do to "save the world" in every season. Yes, the end does justify the means in matters of world terroism. And throughout Season 7, Jack just put his head up, chin out, and told everyone he came in contact with that he would never have done anything differently. I was shocked by the closure of CTU, kept trying to figure out what was going on with Tony, and respected those who came to understand what Jack is all about. The series can be summed up in one scene where the President askes Jack if she can trust him, and he says - head held high - "With all due respect, Madam President, ask around." I will always think Season 1 was the best, but will watch 24 until the executives take it off the air. Jack is, and always will be, my hero.Movie Review: Bravo Jack !
Summary: 5 Stars
In fact, when I bought season 7 of 24, I already have seen the serie on a streaming site available in France.
As it was not French subtiltled, I must admit I lost some parts of the action because of my poor understanding of English (obviously not when Ivorian actor Isaak de Banchole spoke in French with the actress assumed to be his wife, both being legal Executives of fictious state of Sangala).
But I think I understood the majority of the action (it's not very difficult) and I appreciated all the show, waiting eagerly each week for a new episode.
As I saw that the DVD was released in the US the morning after the last episode was released, with French subtitles and at a very moderate price (and the level of the US dollar compared to to the Euro is from some help), I could'nt prevent myself to buy it, so that my wife could see the season and understand it.
In France, it will be aired beginning 10th of September, on a cable channel, and not released in DVD before at least one year.
The only added value I will get with this cable channel is to see Redemption, with French subtitles and keep it in the case of season seven (if I could find some place because of the packaging !) I have bought a second examplaryof 24 season 7 on Amazon to offer to a friend, fan like us of 24.
Our behaviour has no logical reason : you like 24, or you don't. As we are fans, we couldn't wait the airing and releasing in France.
That's all Folks !
Movie Review: I AM A HUGE "24" FAN...
Summary: 5 Stars
...and I have pre-ordered every season of "24" and the recent "24: Redemption" movie from Amazon.com well in advance to the season or movie premiering on TV. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT A SHAM but an excellent business decision on Amazon.com's part for fans will go to extremes to indulge their love for a show and/or movie. Case in point, I pre-ordered "24: Redemption's" 2-Disc Set from Amazon.com in August 2008 at the price of $19.99 - the movie didn't premier on TV till November 2008 - and prior to movie's TV premier, I was notified via e-mail and was eventually charged Amazon's adjusted price of $18.99; however, Best Buy was (and still is) selling the exact same 2-disc movie set for the price of $29.99!
That said, if you are true fan of a show (or movie) pre-ordering from Amazon.com WILL INDEED GET YOU THE PRODUCT'S LOWEST PRICE and you are NOT CHARGED for the purchase until the product becomes available to ship which is the day BEFORE it hits the stores (when the product will be sold for a higher price!!!). Thus, pre-ordering from Amazon.com is the ULTIMATE win-win situation and I for one, have already pre-ordered "24" - Season 7 and I highly suggest if you share my admiration of "24" that you do the same.
Movie Review: Jack finally has a partner who supports yet challenges him
Summary: 5 Stars
Having watched all seasons of 24, Season 7 was the best by far. With the introduction of Agent Renee Walker (the incredible Annie Wersching), Jack is teamed with his equal in that this is a strong woman who is able to look out for herself and think for herself, but who invariably finds herself drawn to yet at times shocked by Jack's methods when the safety of US citizens are on the line. The progression Renee's character makes throughout the 24-hour period is profound, as is the interaction between these two. And anyone who was annoyed by Audrey in seasons past will, I predict, love Jack and Renee together.
Mix in the fact that favorites from seasons past are brought back, and a new president is introduced (and faced with extraordinarily difficult choices in the face of both ethics and family), and this made for an entirely satisfying season. I just watched the finale last night and am already ordering the DVD because I want to start it all over again. Can't wait for Season 8 either!
Movie Review: Jack is back!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am so glad that S7 has already been released.
Go ahead and buy it, because I guarantee you'll love every single episode.
Jack at his best. (Great story. The writers did a brilliant job once again!)
SPOILER:
Not just Jack is back, but also "Almeida is God"-Tony and in a way we haven't seen him before.
Darker and more dangerous. You'll be confused abt what side he is on and in for a few surprises.
My favorite line seconds after a shootout: Tony (Looking at the bad guy):
"Okay,....let's put that behind us!"...
and they switch to "business".
The DVD doesn't have a lot of specials (Only a few can be found), but
they got this awesome Season out so fast, there's really no need for a bunch of extras.
The episodes alone are worth every penny. :)
Go get it!!!!!
Also: You might want to watch the movie "24 - Redemption" after S6 and before you start with Day 7.
