Sadly Over-hyped

Best movie ever!

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

All 24 is pure gold! 24 Live Another Day is a must watch, after the original series of course! It's amazing to see Jack Bauer, the greatest action hero ever, back to save the world and innocent lives. Old favorites are back as well as an amazing villain with a fresh plot. You won't be disappointed in 24: Live Another Day!

Hi, this is my first review on IMDb. ##SPOILERS AHEAD##The raving reviews from other users felt fake. So i felt compelled to point out the ridiculousness of the series and its dubious message.I think 24: Live Another Day is really bad. The plot is unbelievable; terrorist obtain an override device, so they can control Drones and its weapons. Jack and his team then off course kill and torture with impunity. Like they are superheroes always in time and killing with one or two shots. The hacking into computer systems is like...well like fantasy; totally unconvincing, they super hack everything.The Terrorists are of course Arabian and Chinese ( were are those evil Russians !? ) The good guys are the US and its dementing president ( probably the worst acting president in the 24 series ) Jack is the hero showing no emotion at all, like a robot. His interaction with the other characters is below average, too dull. The terrorist are portrayed as very evil too simplistic. The subplots are not worth remembering, i forgot them. There is no tension, everything was predictable for me. 24 felt like it was shot quickly with poor special effects and a low budget.I think that US viewers will like it, its like a US military/army propaganda movie; 'support the Drones and US military deployment all over the world, do not worry we are the good guys! 24 surveillance/spying on everything all the time is good'. Watchers from outside the US will probably quickly determine it as a simplistic propaganda tool, not worth watching, its an insult to their intelligence.

When I heard the news of 24's resurrection, I was excited. The prospect of 12 episodes instead of 24 indicated a denser season with less B-plot filler. Perhaps there is a bit less, but more or less the show is the same animal. Pretty much every 24 cliché is here. All of the twists feel recycled. If you watch the show purely for the action, you should be in for a treat. This season might boast the best action set pieces, and there are quite a few of them. There's some feature-level visual effects. A lot of stuff blows up. Dozens of people get shot. If you don't mind the cookie-cutter writing, it's not a bad season. But for me, I have been waiting over a decade for a season of 24 that would bring the kinds of twists and inventiveness that the first season had. The only season that felt at all fresh or unique. 24: Live Another Day fails to deliver on that dream.

As someone said in another review "Jack Bauer is Back, & frankly thats the only thing that matters!!!" this could be true except that the plot usually had a coherence and methodology that was at least somewhat plausible. This last series is without a doubt the weakest and sends a clear message that the Bauer character with his husky low whisper like voice just does not cut it anymore. Even when he lopped of the head of the bad guy who came across quite mundane, we did not get a sprinkling of real fury. This is the direct result of the direction and plot management of the very tired crew. Tired from the exhaustion of those many seasons that have gone before and that we the viewers, unless we are total addicts which I am certainly not, have no sense of critical comprehension. Sorry but this time I hope the Russians kill him off permanently. A comeback would really be a sad note but then there seem to be enough devoted followers to make the thing happen yet again and put a few more million into Sutherlands account. Time for a new age of political terrorist drama maybe set around the traitor Obama and his nutbag administration. That would be fun.
