  • Smallville is the story of Superman before he became Superman. It tells you how he got each power and learned how to use them and what problems he encountered and how he saw what he was destine to be;"The world's savior".

    Smallville was interesting to watch at first but later it got a bit lame. I would like to see more of the Superman and the Lois ROMANCE happening. What makes me watch it now is the DOOMSDAY is now around. I would like to see season 9 come with that action and Lois closer to Clark. I hope this season finale is everything I expected to be. I am looking forward to Clark giving Lois some idea of the love he has for her or at least Clark admitting to Chloe he has feelings for Lois. I question as to WHY is Chloe hiding David. I know she is trying to protect Clark but seriously WHY?!? Well, what will happen next, I am eagerly waiting.

  • Do the Producers even take the time to actually watch the series? Don't they know fans remember every detail from past episodes?

    "Good"
    I absolutely loved smallville from its inception and have bought all the seasons but the producers started to loose me from around season 8.

    they totally flipped the script. not to mention kill Lex! then brought him back in the last episode of the final season... omg! like if that wasnt bad enough, Jimmy Olson makes an appearance at the end as well. We all know Doomsday stabbed and killed Jimmy seasons earlier!

    What's going on here?... looking back at all those nights i broke up my night rest to watch smallville ... it's depressing. lol :)

    n wait, i almost forgot... they only allowed him to fly in the finale, i'm speechless!

    "Bad"
    In most of the episode, do like it tho hard to not follow it. just think the could have made him not so naive and stupid :(



    nothing much to say, to list up all the stupid ways to fool superman would take to a great time.



    always looking for the good in humans, i know thats one of his big weaknes but for the love of god. the man can move faster than a bullet, and he can hear better than all of us.



    then why can he get shot !!!!!! now just of the top of my mind thats from Smallville 7x18 Apocalypse.



    the list could go on and on... give superman a brain for the love of god.



    after seeing ending of smallville 7x20 Arctic i must take my rating from 6.0 down to 3.0



    in the end, he could have used his eyes to nick him in the foot or arm to drop the ball so that lex coudent have placed it on the control panel.... again this show keeps letting me down, on how stupid superman is... its a shame :(

    This show just gets better everytime. One of my favourite episodes was when the character `The Flash' appeared in it. Hopefully it's not the last time that we see him. I hope to see a few more future superheroes appear in season 5. Season 4 finished on a high. I can't wait for season 5.

    Since this year started I have been waiting for Clark to fly. When is this gonna happen. We need to see him grow more into SUPERMAN. He seems to be stuck this season. Bring it on, we want more action from the man of steel. Are we gonna see him fly soon, that remains to be seen.

    This is embarrassment to DC comics and especially to character of Superman.

    He already fought his greatest nemesis and he can't fly.

    After nine seasons non of the "actors" are able to deliver us with just one convincing moment of any kind of acting.

    This show is directly responsible for stupid script for movie Superman Returns and for destroying the name Superman.

    I just don't know why in the hell DC just wont take away the rights from producers and end this soup opera.

    And,oh my god,no one is calling him Superman,but he is The Blur,the most idiotic thing i ever heard of.

    I mean why not The Smudge or The Very Fast Human Thingy.

    Just end it and save some Superman dignity if there is any left.

    "Great"

    this show does for me stays on the right track of superman mythology but they do change a couple of things to make the show be more surpising.



    tom welling plays clark kent very well.he was a great choice for this character and tom does clark justice. theres lots of action and lots of superpowers being used.i love it.



    theres lots of characters to like or even hate.



    im a big fan of smallville b/c im a big fan of superman.this show would have had a 10 but i have to be honest.



    the only problems i had with the show is sometimes the show can lose its tone. also the seasons are very different.some seasons are good and others are bad.meaning u cant slipt the season down in the middle. i also kind felt the show lasted longer than it was suppose too.it almost became worser than charmed but smallvile advoid that.



    10 seasons are alot of seasons.i thought maybe the show should have stopped at season 7 or even 8. so with the show losing its tone sometimes,and the show keep going when u can tell its time to end it.



    the show is good fun to watch.the acting good,love the powers b/c they are very used and i love the story of clark kent before he becomes superman. i will say watch this show.

  • SMALLVILLE:UP, UP, AND AWAY PART I

    9.5
    "Superb"

    On May 13, 2011, Smallville went off the air in a two-hour no holds barred spectacular in which we finally see, after much speculation from a increasingly impatient fan base, how young Clark Kent finally transformed into the man that would be Superman. Tom Welling, who portrayed Clark Kent, certainly put his stamp on that character. His interpretation of that role was so spot-on that he himself is now the epitome of what we believe Clark to be during those "missing" years between the explosion of Krypton to his emergence as Superman. But in order to appreciate Welling's induction into this prestigious club of Superman portrayers, we have to look back at the previous inductees who, in essence, made Smallville possible.

  • Smallville depicts superman as a boy until he becomes what destiny foretold. I won't go into detail for each season. It something you as a confused viewer might want to see for youself.

    "Great"
    I was born during the late 90s, The information generation. Season 1 started when i was still in elementary school. I would come back from school and watch superman as he grows up in every season. Season 2 i too grow up and attend middle school. During this time Lana lang was a big part of clark kents life. Season 4 i attend High School during which Clark Kent had his fun solving crimes with chloe and lana in a high schoolish setting. I grew up with smallville. I can't believe 10 years from now i am who i am today. From the moment i first laid eyes on smallville i couldnt stop watching. Its a show where it just grows on you and some how even if season 7 wasnt all that great you still watched it...well for me anyways. It was just what i grew up with. It was an amazing ride and very nostalgic. I will never forget smallville, it was a show that i still hold close because it reminds me of the good ol days where i was just a happy go lucky kid with big ambition. And a show that effected my life even for a little, is a show that is worth a watch.

  • Addictive TV!

    "Great"
    To be perfectly honest I was never that interested in Smallville when it was first airing but after I caught a promo for the finale I was curious about the show and decided to check the first season out of my local library to see what it was like. Once I started watching the show I couldn't stop watching it, it was frigging addictive! I then preceded to watch all nine seasons on DVD one after the other until my brain was on overload! While the writing and acting wasn't always the best for every season the show was still extremely fun and entertaining TV and very watchable. I will defintely be adding this show to my dvd collection!

  • Smallville: Lana, The Early Years

    1.5
    "Abysmal"
    I've never written a review before but these last two episodes have made me want to share how much I'm disappointed in the way the show has gone off the rails.



    Three episodes ago I was loving Season 8. Doomsday was the most interesting villian (other than Lex) in ages and finally Clark and Lois were getting closer. This was great because we all know there is a future there. It's not like the Lana thing where we know it can't last. Now, three episodes on what, what have we got?



    Lana...has...superpowers. I mean seriously, just think about that. Obviously the writers don't mind devaluing Clarks's "unique" gifts (we've seen Kara and John Jones both have the same powers..and fly too!) but to give Lana the same powers, how can that be good for the show?? Not only is she as strong as Clark she's stronger! If she wanted to she could beat the crap out of him because he gets weak as soon as they get near each other. It's an absolute joke how the writers had a great season going and in one foul swoop ruined the entire show. All the momentum is gone. I only hope that the remaining episodes make up for the last three, and that Lana somehow gets stripped of her new powers without actually having to take up any screen time. A phonecall saying "Hi Clark it's Lana, I don't have powers anymore....and I'm about to get hit by a bus" would be good.



    Poor, poor stuff.

  • One of the dumbest episodes - thanks Chloe

    1.0
    "Abysmal"
    I'm not surprised, Chloe is my least liked character, and I'm staying polite. Since the beginning of the series, she's been an annoying character, always "Ms I'll solve anything", making Clark the dumb muscle guy. She solves all the tricky situations, sometimes lying, or finding such dumb arguments to solve an episode it's just pathetic. This episode, and Tomb, where she's the main character, are my most hated. Damn, what a stupid plot from start to finish, first they changed her mom's actress to Lynda Carter (which I liked a lot in Wonder Woman) - I won't spend much time thinking why they chose her, bygones on that subject), then she's the most powerful Krypto freak as she can control the others and then it's gone as she becomes catatonic again, wow what a stroke of genius! So Chloe's controlled, attacks Lex, and forgets everything, but that's her mother's fault as she controlled her ... boo poor poot Chloe. And they even manage to ruin the continuity of this season, which was real good until now, by making Lana's pregnancy fake and she's the one held responsible??? Wow I must say I didn't see this coming, but of course as it's one of the lamest excuses for a sub-plot ever created! No luck it was in one of the worst episodes ever!

    I guess lucky me as I hate the actress as much as the character, Alison Mack knows only 3 expressions : surprised, shocked (which is merely an exxageartion of the first), and the "wow, Clark is so beautiful I'm a puppy dog" look. Damn what a worthless actress, almost Orlando Bloom and Keanu Reeves level actress. Thanks for ruining the season in 40 minutes!

    After soooo many years of watching Smallville, and seeing such known special guest stars (e.g. Lynda Carter, Christopher Reeves, Dean Cain, Helen Slater, Michael Ironside, Jane Seymour, etc...) appear on the show, they decide to introduce TORI SPELLING!!!! Come on, has hollywood run out actors? How much did she pay (or should i say how much of her father's money did she pay) to get on the show.... I'm very very disappointed... What a shame... I used to love the show... Oh well, will have to switch to another show.... Something a bit more interesting with better casting people...

    The worst thing about this show is the obsessed females/know it all males who believe THIS is the Prime Superman story for the world. Like the movies, both old and new, and the comics should take a back seat to Smallville.

  • The Adventures of young Clark Kent in Smallville traces his early beginnings as a teenager, and his love with Lana Lang.

    5.9
    "Mediocre"
    This show should be called "Superboy-The Teeny

    Bopper Years" as this is what the show really

    is. A teenybopper spoof of "Superman".



    Lacking the intellectual capacity of Lois and

    Clark with Teri Hatcher and Dean Cain and missing

    adult themes, "Smallville" is attired for teenagers.



    Through four seasons, the show has dragged

    on and on, consequently it's gotten worse

    every season with a few hints of brilliance.



    One thing that drags the show down is lack

    of originally, nearly more than half of the shows

    are written concerning the meteorities that

    "Smallville" including the fourth season's

    cliffhanger (No surprise).



    Normally what happens then is that the effect

    of the meteorities leads to freaky teenagers

    who use their new powers to commit murder and

    rape.



    Enter Clark Kent who then uses his Superman

    powers (without a cape or disguise) to take

    of the situation.



    Meanwhile Kent (Tom Welling) portrays himself

    as a nerd unable to acknowledge his true feeling

    for Lang Lang.



    The show does have over the top special effects,

    and the action is pretty but "Smallville"

    needs to move in a different direction, the

    next season.

    Well, this is one of those shows that I began by downloading during a time when I was waiting for the cable guy to hook my cable up. people I knew told me they loved it and so I said, ok whatever, I'll download and see what it's all about. I can't believe that a show as poorly written as this one could last so long. I also can't believe that a show as poorly written as this one could turn me into an addict! grrrr. well, most shows I end up addicted to are just as lame. I blame it partly on Kristin Kreuk. yum! but it's also because I like the substory about Clark and Lex. Gotta love those guilty pleasures.

  • Die Lana, Just Die !!

    "Fair"
    During the first season of Smallville, Clark was saving Lana's life every single week. There was always some mutant freak who was out to kill her. During the last 10 minutes of each show, Clark would use his super speed to run to the rescue. He would give the mutant freak a real good whooping ( right after he knocked Lana unconcious so that see would not see his super strenght ). Owch, Lana must some brain damage !!!



    Watching this every week, it reminded me of the movie Final Destination. Where the spirit of Death was stalking the kids in order to kill them. I think Death was trying to kill Lana, just like in that movie.

    I've only seen the reruns on ABC Family, but from those Smallville seems like an odd show. The idea of Superman as a teenager is a great idea - but there's some pretty nutty characters and its just kind of boring. I generally end up changing the channel to a Disney Channel show - pathetic, I know, but even that's better than Smallville. I just don't get how anyone could like this completely boring show. Whats going to happen when Clark Kent gets out of school. He becomes Superman and that's that. Does the show go off? What happens then?

  • Reinventing Superman, the DC classic comic superhero by telling the story of his youth.

    9.0
    "Superb"
    When I first heard of this show I thought, "Oh come on, Lex Luther and Superman grew up together? Lame!". But luckily I had a friend who forced me to sit down and watch this show and I found that this show grew on me very quickly.



    This show has very sharp writing, really terrific acting, and utterly amazing special effects for a television show budget. Really, I can't believe the quality of the special effects in this show, everything is done so well.



    So what is this show about? Well, Clark Kent apparently had an adolesence! Who would have thought it? Although in a lot of ways this show is similar to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, in that your superhero starts out in High School, and your basic episodes consist of either "Monster of the week", or "Long term plot stuff", or in most cases both. This isn't really a bad thing, in fact it's quite good.



    Smallville, like Buffy is primarily a character driven show. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of long term plots in Smallville that are quite interesting, but the driving force behind the show is the lives of the characters. Like a lot of the better character driven shows, this pushes the actors to heights unimaginable. In particular I think I have to mention John Schneider here. He was Bo Duke in the Dukes of Hazzard. In Smallville, John Schneider actually has really superb acting skills! Yeeeeee HAW!



    The character's of Lex and Lionel Luther also deserve special mention because they are a pair of villians you are going to really love to hate. I thought the idea was lame as I mentioned above, but the way this show spins it, it's genious. You get to see Lex in the process of becoming evil, which means that in the beginning he wasn't so bad. During his progression to the Dark Side, you can't help but feel sympathy and you root for him to somehow overcome his evil destiny. Lionel Luther is so good as a character that I am not going to give any spoilers at all. Watch him, love him as one of the best television villians ever.



    My other initial prejudice was that as a superhero I thought Superman was kind of boring because he can just do anything. Again, Smallville genius steps in. He can't do everything yet because he's learning his powers as the show progresses. Each season typically introduces a new power or strengthens an old one, so the show progresses in a very logical manner, and always presents challenges to Clark that are real challenges.



    For this reason I recommend that you start at the beginning of the show in season 1 by renting from Netflix or some-such. Also, one thing to keep in mind is that season 1 is very heavy on "monster of the week" kind of plots, and I think season 4 kind of got into that pattern again as well. Personally, I liked the longer term plot elements.



    Season 5 should prove very interesting for Smallville. This is the season equivalent to Buffy where she left high school, and the show started to take off into entirely new directions. I hope that Smallville handles this significant change well. (because in a lot of ways, this is where the formula they have been using should be changed, or if they don't change it, it may seem like the show is getting stale). They could fall into the trap of Clark being too clingy to stay in Smallville just for the sake of the title name of the show, we'll have to see, but given the quality of the writing so far, I am very optimistic.



    This show is worth it. I got a friend of mine who initially despised the whole Superman concept to watch it, and he's now a total addict. Hopefully, you'll get as much value out of the show too.

  • Ten years of quality TV and even now that it is in its final season it doesn't feel like enough.

    9.5
    "Superb"
    Smallville is one of those rare shows that has spanned a whole decade (or will have when it is finished) and has kept me interested since the first episode. Not every episode is great, but when they get it right... they get it very right!



    This show started off as the story of Superman as he came into his powers, his awkward high school years made ten times more awkward by the blossoming of abilities that more often than not got him in a lot of trouble. In the start there were a lot of simple episodes, a different problem to be overcome each week and the only really interesting ongoing story line was Clark's relationship with his best friend... Lex Luthor. The show really starts to come into its own in the second season when Clark starts to discover more about his origins and his history and they start to delve into their own version of the Superman mythology. From there we see the rise and fall of Clark's first relationship (trust me you will be glad to see the back of that), the death of Clark's father, the loss of all of his childhood friends, the introduction of the real relationship (Lois Lane), the defeat of so many bad guys that you will lose count and the saving of the world time and again. Overshadowing all that is Lex Luthor's descent to evil and Clark Kent's rise to superhero status. Throw in an ice fortress, the disembodied voice of his dead kyrptonian father and a gang of superheros that appear from time to time and you have a myriad of reasons to love this show. If superheros are your thing and your willing to overlook the odd really cheesy episodes and the appalling character of Lana Lang then treat yourself to one of the greatest TV shows of the decade. But don't be surprised if after the ten seasons are up you find yourself wishing for more. I know I will be!

    "Poor"
    This was one of my favorite shows when it first came out. I've always been a Superman fan, but its almost as if the writers gave George Lucas the reins to Capt. Jack Sparrow out a bleary screenplay rife with mediocrity and slow character assassinations..it was very much like kicking a dead race horse across the finish line until super-glue oozed out. In a nutshell, an imaginary prodigious cantaloupe engineered through clandestine stem cell experiments could still come up with better material than this past season and is veritable evidence that Hollywood doesn't care about talent unless there are dollar signs.

  • Still Watching that? Those who Accidentally checked that show should read this:

    1.0
    "Abysmal"
    The only possible reasons why one should still watch this show:



    - Being under 8 years old



    - Being emotionally attached to the main characters, regardless of the incoherency of any character in the show.



    - Having been promised a huge sum of money in the case of understanding the whole plot.



    - Having Masochistic tendencies regarding absurd stories with great holes, non-sens plots, and over and over abused characters granted different weird powers.



    - Having an IQ under 70, just watching, without really understanding what they try to do.



    - Being a frodo fun. (since the protagonist is a "grown up version" of frodo).



    - Having nothing else to do. (which must be the general reason of why people watch that show)
