Summary: Metemorphis
Review: "Metemorphis" the second episode in the series is the absolute best episode in "Smallville." It features my favorite villian Greg Arkin (aka the bug boy) in a excellent "Smallville" episode with an "X-Files" touch.

Summary: a great story in the Superman saga
Review: This DVD is a must have! If you watch the show then you know that its about Clark Kent (aka Superman) back in high school, where he also battles bad guys. I didn't buy the DVD when it came out because I had already seen most of the episodes, but then I started missing some of the episodes so I decided to buy the DVD, and I was so glad I did. Buy the DVD if you absolutely love the show, its cool because its played in widescreen, which if you're like me you'll appreciate it. Seriously go out and buy the DVD, you'll be glad you did.

Summary: Super
Review: So this is how it all began, back in Smallville. Smallville tells the story of a young Clark Kent, growing up and going to high school in a small Kansas farming town. I was a little skeptical about this show when in first came on, but I have grown to love it. As the story goes, Smallville used to be a normal town until one fateful day when Kal-el's (Tom Welling) home planet of Krypton exploded. His father, Jor-el, sent him to Earth in a spaceship, and along with him came Kryptonite, little shards of the planet. Kryptonite has very severe and diverse effects on the human genome, and due to exposure to this rock, many Smallville citizens are mutated. Anyway, Kal-el is adopted by Jonathon and Martha Kent, a married couple who are incapable of conceiving a child of their own. Renamed Clark Kent, he grows up with some very special gifts; super speed, strength, senses, and x-ray vision. Unbeknownst to the Kents, this is because of our yellow sun (Krypton had a red sun, and so Clark gets these powers). Along with his friends Pete, Chloe, and Lana (whom he has a huge crush on), Clark solves mysteries and saves people. Also along for the ride, as well as many of his own, is Clark's future archnemesis Lex Luthor. As of now, the two are great friends, but someday, somehow, they will become sworn enemies.
The first part of the season is okay; the stories are good, but not as good as they will come to be, and they don't flow together. Once the episodes begin to make an arc is when the season gets good. If you like Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Angel, you will almost definitely like this show, for there are many similarities between this show and Buffy especially. The main thing is that many of the stories are metaphors for lessons that teenagers need to learn such as why not to go on killer wait loss programs, and why you should be yourself. Also, the Kryptonite's role in the show is exactly the same as that of the Hellmouth in Buffy.
This is a great show that is definitely worth taking a look at. Some of my favorite episodes from this season include Hourglass, Nicodemus, and Tempest.

Summary: Superbly addictive
Review: I've been an avid consumer of television shows since i was young. Growing up around the world of television is a world where i escape every night...this is where smallville fits in, when it first aired i wasn't excited nor was i pulled into the frenzy, i thought it wasn't my kind of thing. Not too long ago i was browsing along in a video store when i bumped into the box set of season one smallville, and i read the synopsis and finally thought that i might actually give it a try. After the first few episodes i got a bit maniacal, watching one show after another not getting enough of it.

Smallville besides its cover up face of superman deals with emotions of the real kind, its very down to earth if viewed in a different perspective, it definitely has its up and downs. Tom welling and Kristin Kreuk gives legitimate performance as two young high school kids who no one seems to understand...

get this dvd if you like watching television just for what it lives out to be...you won't regret it

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Loved Smallville

Summary: THE COOLEST DVD EVER CREATED
Review: I didn't know much about this show. When my friend told me about it i watched a episode. oh, my go was it good. I taped a few episodes but i missed like about 16 of them. I wanted to see them but i didn't know where to watch them. Season 2 had already started. I was suprised when this DVD came out. I got it right away. its awsome. If you have a DVD player you MUST get this right away. I promise you you will NOT regret it ever. I watch it everyday and also watch Season 2 which right now is on WB20 every wednesday. believe me this show is for the whole family. its has action, and romance. Watch clark save smallville and fall in love with lana lang, and develop a close relationship with his friend lex luthor. You better get this DVD before it gone. Every one of my friends have a copy. On a rating of 1 to 100. I give this movie a complete 100.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Smallville has more potential then any other series ever!!!
Review: Smallville has been dubbed as being a show for 25 and younger crowd, but I'm a 30 year old doctor and make time in my busy schedule to never miss it. I recently watched all 21 first episodes again and it was like watching them for the first time. I agree with one of the reviewers that there are a lot of cliches, but that is part of the fun of the DC Comic world. Remember that this is the pre-Metropolis Clark Kent trying to lay low, but being forced into situation after situation. The fact that people develope bizzare powers is just part of the reality of Smallville and its high concentration of meteorites; I think its a neat twist to the Superman universe and will continue to watch and buy the DVD's even if it runs for 20 seasons. The music is great and the characters are better; their one dimensionalism is on purpose, but just wait until later seasons when they are placed into diversity and those personalities will flourish. This show couldn't be written any better; it's just enough to entertain and tease.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good show but without much extras
Review: After heard so much hype about the show, I get myself a copy of the series. Though I like the show very much , but was dismay to find out the DVDs collection didn't offer any much extras. WB should at least throw in some MTVs especially the theme song Save Me by Remy Zero. Or at least they can remaster the sound to 5.1 surround. There's so much more can be done to enhance the series or improve it like why don't we get the deleted scenes in the actual show instead of showing it as a special feature ! Most people getting a DVD just to see more extras and not just 2 or 3 deleted scenes shown as a special features !Guess for the second season I'll be buying a pirated copy instead as I'll save hundreds from this.
