Summary: Definitely addicting!
Review: When Smallville first came out, I thought the entire idea of the series was a bad idea. I didnt even start watching it until the season premiere of the 2nd season, but I INSTANTLY loved it! I was woefully proved wrong about my initial impressions.

The show is about Clark Kent before he was Superman. He has the powers (except flying), lives on a farm!, goes to high school, has normal friends, and even has a girl who he's interested in. He has a bit of an interest in journalism, but it's his friend Chloe that is the journalist of the group, with Clark only helping with the investigating. Lana and Clark both have unacknowledged feelings for one another, but the feelings appear to be growing stronger as the show wears on.

It's an awesome show and I cant wait for it to come out on DVD!

Summary: Smallville is the best show ever that has been on TV
Review: I never thought there would be a good show on TV until I saw Smallville. This is a great show I hope they start to put the seasons on DVD. If they do not put the seasons on DVD then I think I will start to tape all of the episodes.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just when you thought nothing on TV would ever be any good
Review: ... along comes a fresh, witty, exciting series like Smallville. It is one of those shows that just gets better with each passing week. I am amazed that the young actors (with the exception of the divinely talented Allison Mack) have had little prior acting experience yet quickly developed such full-fledged multi-faceted characters in one short season.

The story of Clark Kent discovering his powers is fascinating ... after all, it's not like there's anyone to really guide him through this! His own parents don't know what to expect. Meantime, he has to deal with all the typical teenaged problems --- unrequited love, being of limited means so he can't have everything he wants, parents not liking his friends (i.e. Lex Luthor.) And above all, feeling he's different and doesn't fit in --- multiplied about a million times from what the rest of us feel!

The show also has interesting subplots --- Pete likes Chloe likes Clark likes Lana likes Whitney. Oi!

Above all, I like the Chloe character best. She's smart, pretty, and spunky ---- she delivers her sarcastic lines perfectly but you know she's hiding some deeper hurt as well about her missing mother and seeing Clark swoon over Lana, with whom she's friends and now roommates.

So you see, this show is only going to get better as time goes on ---- catch up on the first season with the DVD to make sure you get the full force of everything that's going to happen. You know it's going to be good!

Summary: nothing beats smallville
Review: My nephew is only two and already he knows who Superman is, I am 27 and my father is 57 and we both still love superman and his story, so it shows how much impact this icon has on all Generations. Smallville doesn't always stay close to the true story, but between the good humour, great acting and fantastic special effects this program just blows everything else away. It's great to see Clark coming to grip with his powers for the first time like walking down the street and seeing everyone as a skeleton due to x-ray vision. Also unlike a lot of other superhero programs like wonder woman, The Hulk, The Flash or Batman, Clark faces off against enemies with powers like iceman, a guy with agility and strength of a spider (ring any bells) as well as mortal eniemes such as a reporter who is trying to find the true secret. At first i didn't think having a good Lex Luthor would work but again watching him grow closer, each episode, to the character in the comic is interesting and at time intimidating to watch, the guy who acts this part is fantastic. Kristen Kreuk is beautiful and Smallville is worth getting if only for the part when she's in the changing rooms and Clark is trying to get use to having x-ray vision. I enjoy Buffy and didn't think anything could take it's place but Smallville has even put this in the shade. I would recommend Smallville to every generation.

Review: Although the days of SMALLVILLE on DVD for the U.S. is perhaps months away, this import DVD edition of SMALLVILLE will more than do until the box sets arrive. SMALLVILLE features the pilot as well as the first episode linked together easily and while the first full episode lacks some of the punch of the pilot, they work well together. Presented in a sharp and clean widescreen transfer, SMALLVILLE really opens up here. Commentary is included and is both informative and fun (and you can join along with the group in playing the "Tom Welling Hair Game" as it shifts, jumps, and reverses direction often) and worth the price and trouble getting the DVD alone. Also included are several deleated scenes from the pilot episode that range from short cuts and trims to a few scenes that add extra background and development (and while it's nice to have the deleated scenes, also with commentary, it would have been nicer to simply have had them edited back into place). For fans of the series, SMALLVILLE is a must for the collection, and for those new to SMALLVILLE and looking to find out what all the fuss is about, this is a DVD that is sure to both please and entertain.

Summary: Smallville -
Review: This is one of the most realistic sci-fic story I have ever seen for all ages. Totally human and divine! The story line about his beginning was more than "unreal."it is believeable! And it is pretty likely that something like that will happen one day.
The prevailing quality that stands out is how naturally humble Clark is. I wonder if Tom Welling by nature are those qualities he protrays; gentle, humble, caring, funny, intelligent, and security conscious in a cool way.
I really love the way the story unfolds his supernatural abilities, it's logical! With special gifts, comes a sense of great responsibilities, and it's very intriguing how the story shows how these gifts were taught by his earthly parents,who were sensitively wise, understandingly patient, caring and insightful and as well as comical in timely fashion. Great way to teach us adults how to deal with gifted and high-powered adolences, whether natural or supernatural.
I thought you should know, that I for one have thought most of the film world had gone the ways of stupidity, violence and money making tactics, and rarely indulge in any kind of televison series, but yours, I make it one of the highlights of the week. I am a non-church-minded-missionary but spiritual, and my passion is to use movies as a means to teach the youth of today the real meaning of life and how to skillfully face life in all aspects and quirks. Your series, has all the essential lessons that build character with meaning and direction and as well as up beat source of entertainment, a rare combination to have.
I look forward to see how Clark and those whom he cares for will grow to love and accept him for who he is and not for what he is. Very cool and suspenseful series.
