Summary: Smallville is here!
Review: Shows about teenagers are often terrible. We (the viewers) are often forced to watch ludicrous "realistic" teen shows like "The OC" and "90210" when we know that they (the teen shows) don't even come close to accurately portraying teen life. Every once in a while we (the young adults) are blessed with more realistic shows like "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Dawson's Creek" and "Smallville." These shows (with the exception of Dawson's Creek) are sci-fi fantasies but they ironically portray teen life in a more accurate light than any crappy Aaron Spelling Fox teen drama ever could. Smallville is brilliant because Clark Kent's problems with his powers offer a great metaphor for any kid that has ever felt different in high-school. It doesn't matter how popular or unpopular we were in high-school: we have all felt like an outcast at one time or another. Clark Kent and Buffy, (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) like Spiderman, will always be great representations of our inner-outcast. They may fight monsters or Demons but they have the same problems we did. Smallville (over the years) has addressed many different teen issues like eating disorders and drug-use in a way that is more believable than any "very special episode" of 90210 or "The OC."This DVD set contains the first season of the series. We are introduced to a teenage Clark Kent and a young Lex Luther. We see how they slowly start to grow into their future roles as Superman and the most evil man in Metropolis. We see Clark painfully deal with issues that we have all faced as he accepts his true destiny. I am so happy that the first season is on DVD. I can slowly get rid of my old VHS tapes of the first season that have been taking up too much room in my house. This DVD is a nice set that looks great on a decent TV. You will certainly be entertained if you buy this collection. I can't wait for season two!

Summary: When is Season 2 due to come out??????????????
Review: Smallville the Complete 1 Season was excellent. Every episode left me anticipating the next. The final episode of season 1 ended and I screamed! I want to know when are they going to come out with season 2 especially since they are already in the third season. Come on WB and don't torture the Smallville viewers any longer.

Summary: Very Imaginative, pretty good actually
Review: I found first season to be pretty good actually. The pilot episode was one of the best episodes, I especially liked the meteor shower scenes, most of them well done and the scene wher Lex's Porsche runs off the bridge sending Clark off the edge with it still looks unbelievably real to me.
The casting is pretty good, some new characters introduced to the story line but all well portrayed and I even liked most of the plots. I'd read that first season was known for it's freak of the week episodes but they really aren't that bad, and some of them are even sort of creative.
I just wish that Clark would finally manage to fly, it's been most of three years now and all he's managed is to levitate during a dream about Lana, and maybe fly to her rescue during the season ending tornado.

Summary: Fair enough
Review: Now the only problem I really have with smallville is that you pretty much know where it all leads in the end. Like we all know what eventually happens between Lex and Clark which is semi annoying now seeing as how Lex is such a likeable character in smallville. The cast is great. Tom Welling makes a perfect Clark Kent. Kristen Kruek as clark's love intrest is also good although at times her acting is a bit flat. Then a few minor roles are clarks pals pete and chloe. But I think the stand out actor here is Michael Rosenbaum who plays Lex Luthor. It's just hard to beleive that he turns into clark's arch enemy in the future. As for the DVD Set it's pretty basic really. Some nice extra's but nothing that amazing other than the actual eps. Of the 13 only 1 episode stands out as being bad, the rest are all quite good.

Summary: Superman fans Rejoice!
Review: Superman's protrayal in media other than comics (and in some cases comics as well) hasn't always been well-recieved or well made. The first couple movies were all right, but after 12 movies, (or however many there were,) the well tends to run dry. Cartoons and other media, such as games and CD's, have always seemed to be a mixed bag. So doing a Superman show nowadays was always kinda risky. It had to fit the tone of today's comics as well as appeal to fans who have been around for much longer. Myself, being a fan since, well, birth, always held a certian sense of skepticisim and doubt when news of another series based on the Man of Steel reached my ears. Especially when I heard that it was going on the WB, infamous for shows like "Dawson's Creek" and the like. The idea of an entire series based on his childhood (or more specifically, his high school years,) was a promising concept. I didn't want Clark Kent becoming another whiny teen. Thankfully, my doubts and fears quickly subsided as I watched the first season of "Smallville," which is thankfully all gathered into this huge (6 discs?? ) set, which gets you all 21 episodes of the first season, including the pilot. The show itself is a wonder to behold, filled with great performances and a wondeful setting, great dialogue, and the stories themslves continue to suprise and amaze. As a Superman fan, it's great to see these cool little moments of a young Clark Kent having to adjust and develop his powers as they appear - as well as try to live a normal life as a teenager with a crush (Lana Lang, which again, fans will love,) and other typical teenager issues. Many characters from the comics (Clark, Lana, Jonathan and Martha Kent, as well as Lex Luthor, and Pete Ross, who is a fairly minor character in the comics), as well as some new ones, (Chloe - Clark's good friend and Whitney - Lana's boyfriend)combine into a well crafted and believeable cast. Fans will snicker and adore all of the little ironic moments, all of which hint at what Clark will eventually become. Little parts here and there, but there nonetheless. The biggest one is the fact that Clark Kent and Lex Luthor... are best friends. I couldn't count the number of times that there was a feeling of foreboding and destinic action in almost every scene with these two, my favorite was when Clark asked Lex how long he thought that they'd be friends. Lex simply replied, "Our friendship will be the stuff of legend." He was certianly right. Best writing ever, for this type of series, anyway. There are always going to be comparisons to other stuff like "Creek," and it does kinda steer that way, but it can't be helped. "Creek" was about a bunch of teens growing up and finding themselves. "Smallville" is esentially about the same thing, only add superpowers and tons of special effects to the mix. Another thing that's unique about this show, in terms of a superhero show, is that it is more about the alter ego than the hero. It's a Superman show that's about Clark Kent. Definately pick it up. If you're a fan, you'll enjoy it immensly. If you're just getting into it, it's a great way to start.

Summary: A Great Series
Review: Smallville really ties together the story of when Clark Kent is older. This show also has great stunts and gets you hooked right at the beginning. All of my friends I showed it to loved it and asked what happened next, of course I mean who wouldn't. Not to mention it has an incredible cast and I just adore Tom Welling.

Summary: When a Superman dies
Review: It doesn't seem like that bad of an idea. Take Superman's teenage past and make it into a TV show. But it all goes downhill when the WB stepped in and lavished it as a teeniebopper mellow drama with equally annoying and pretensious music from bands that will be hot one day and gone the next. I actually kind of had high hopes for Smallville; the idea of presenting a teenage Clark Kent before he donned the cape and tights doesn't seem like a bad idea as I said before, but the way Smallville is presented is just plain lame. Pretty boy Tom Welling doesn't display much range as the future hero, and the rest of the cast, aside from Michael Rosenbaum as future nemesis Lex Luthor, is flat. There are a few good ideas floating around though: such as making the weekly villians have something to do with the meteor that brought Clark to Earth, Clark's awe as he discovers what he is capable of, and some solid guest stars (Tony Todd and X-Men's Shawn "Iceman" Ashmore), but other than that Smallville is another teeniebopper mellow drama with wasted potential. Maybe I'm wrong though; maybe the show will display brilliance later on in life like Buffy the Vampire Slayer did, but for some reason I just don't see it happening.
