Movie Reviews of 24: Season Three
Movie Review: Edgy. Hectic. Taut. Addicting.
Summary: 5 Stars
24 has become one of my favorite shows becuase of its tight, fast-paced, edge-of-the-seat action and suspense. It's a race to the finish through twists and turns which leave you breathless, exhausted, and at the end, strangely satisfied.
In season 3, two evil, world-class villainesses, Sherry Palmer (President's ex-wife) and Nina Myers (Jack's ex-girlfriend/colleague) reappear full of venom and mischief. They really are forces to contend with.
24/3 is all about action and relationships. This season is a showcase for Tony and Michelle's love and marriage, Chase and Kim finding themselves, and President and Mrs. Palmer using each other again, and President Palmer working things out with his brother Wayne. We are also introduced to the eccentric Chloe who is terrific; if quirky beyond repair. Finally, the boss we love to hate, Ryan Chappelle, leaves us stunned and sad with a wrenching story line. Only the writers of 24 could make me sympathetic to Ryan Chappelle.
All in all, the season ends in a satisfying way - wrung out emotionally, exhausted from the frenetic pace, and anxious to see 24/4.
Movie Review: Jack Bauer has another bad day
Summary: 5 Stars
There are a number of signs that the series is running of steam and ideas. Even though it is still gripping in terms of editing and plot, it still however falls short.
Basically from the first few episodes, the viewers would be treated to a TV version of Soderbergh's Oscar winning "Traffic". The actors used, the locale, the context, the setting and even the MacGuffin device, a bag of cocaine, are veering towards the look and feel of "Traffic". Even the cinematography of some of the scenes set in Mexico, recalls the special filtering process that Soderbergh used in his film.
Sutherland remains as intense as ever. Elisha Cuthbert remains as irritating as ever. Why can't she just quit the series, she has absolutely nothing to contribute to the series except trouble. No, wait, maybe the reason why she's there is to fill in the empty plot holes and time it needed to fill in a full 24 hours...
This box set is awesome! Packed and filled with extras. The picture in the DVD is also on par in digital clarity as a Hollywood feature film. The Dolby Digital even sounds great on my computer.
Movie Review: Another Season of Bauer
Summary: 5 Stars
This series has the wonderful habit of gettin better and better with each season, and this is no exception. Season three of 24 has it all, with not everyone making it out alive by the end. I was surprised with how many twists and turns this season had. When you think one thing, a surprising twist is thrown in so you don't know where the story is going to lead, but you are more than willing to follow. One thing that sets this season apart is that a couple of regulars from the first two seasons don't live to make it season four! I won't say who they are, but it is worth buying alone because it is a big part to the 24 universe. If you haven't seen this yet, but have seen the others, then this is a must have. I wouldn't recommend this season to new fans because the deaths won't mean anything unless you have seen the two seasons that back up their stories. It makes it more emotional. Overall, well worth having, just see the first two seasons first.Movie Review: BEST TV SHOW I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

Movie Review: Maintains the standard
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm just nearing the end of this series and can say without doubt that this is as good as the first 2 series and I have no reservation in strongly recommending it.
The plot is a little hard to believe, but the whole thing is so well done that whether you believe whats happening could really happen doesn't matter in the least. As always there a number of different subplots running to keep you on edge and most of the main characters you have grown to know from the first two series are back in place. The story grabs your attention right from the start.
Of course Jack Bauer is still the main man, but there are some real surprises in this series that you won't be expecting. So this is really high quality entertainment thats well worth getting - especially if you can find the boxset cheap!
