Summary: Must Have NOW!!!
Review: Smallville is a great show, at first I was'nt a big SuperMan fan but after seeing Smallville when it first appeared on t.v. I was wow, SuperMan kicks butt. Tom, Kristin, and the rest of the cast are great, I love the plots and how it tells about how clark gains his abilities and even though he is the man of steel, he can be hurt pretty bad by seeing the ones he loves get hurt. Well it is a great show and I watch it all the time, and can't wait for the next season and hope all of them come out on dvd, or vhs. And btw Kristin Kreuk is just an amazing actress and so beautiful. I would give everything I havejust to be able to get to know her personaly. Anyways BUY BUY BUY this!!

Summary: Smallville's First Season Worth Owning
Review: In short, the first season of "Smallville" was a pleasure to watch. While there were a few glicthes with storylines and acting (two of the lead actors were acting neophytes), they smoothed themselves out by the middle of the season to create an entertaining show that had us pulling not only for the future Man of Steel, but for his future nemesis as well, Lex Luthor. Smallville, and Micheal Rosenbaum, manage to create a sympathetic Lex that makes the audience cheer for their friendship, knowing that it will tragically end in the future. The greatest part about Season One of Smallville is that it leaves the audience stumped as to how these two friends can ever become enemies...the chmestry between Rosembaum and Tom Welling, who plays Clark Kent, is wonderful and sweet.

Welling also has mucho on-screen chemestry with his best gal-pal and Lois Lane prototype Chloe Sullivan, played by Allison Mack, who is so adorable and funny and snarky you just want to hug her. You can see quite clearly here why Clark and Lois will become such great partners in the future: Clark had Chloe's influence (she is obviously the reason he gets into jounalism and will work for the Daily Planet). The DVD will be worth buying simply for their scenes together.

The only weak part of the show is Kristen Kruek and her character, Lana Lang. Welling and Kruek have ZERO chemestry together...their scenes are often painful to watch. Kruek is clearly the weak acting link on the show, phoning in plastic performances of a character that the writers haven't fleshed out very well. Lana is, in a word, BORING: she sort of just exists on the show as an object of desire and does very little to further any of the plotlines along. For a storyline that is so prominent on Smallville, the Clark loves Lana thing doesn't work well at all, and it's a serious black mark on the show.

Other high points: John Schneider and Annette O'Toole as Jonathan and Martha Kent are wonderful, as is John Glover as Lionel Luthor, Lex's devious father. The Lex and Lionel scenes are WONDERFUL...you can see that Lex will clearly become his father later in life.

All in all, a fun show to watch, whether you follow the Superman comics or not.

Summary: Watch It For Lex
Review: This mediocre series boasts the monicker "WB's Top Series" for one reason - Michael Rosenbaum. The writing is atrocious and Tom Welling (Clark Kent) and Lana Lang (Kristin Kreuk) are frequently painful to watch, but Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luthor) garners three stars all on his own in this mishmash of comic canon and WB melodrama. He make Lex Luthor sympathetic, likeable and endearing. Lex's inevitable turn toward darkness is made all the more heart-breaking for the care Michael Rosenbaum takes in making you care about a man trying to do right by himself, his best friend and a community that has cast him aside. Alison Mack as Chloe Sullivan, John Glover as Lex's tyrannical father, Lionel Luthor and Annette O'Toole as Martha Kent also shine despite the writers' best efforts to keep them in the shadows.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Smallville...big deal!
Review: And I mean big deal in the positive sense! I knew that when Smallville first came out on TV, it would either be a phenominal success, or a respunding flop. I'm certainly glad that it fell into the first catigory.

This series has become extremely successful, because of the fact that it has broken away from the traditional views of Superman that we have come to be familiar with, while still following along those very views. This show begins with the familiar rocket that crashes on the outskirts of the Kent Farm, setting the background of some of the characters. Lana Lang watches her perents die in the meteor storm that follows behind the ship, Lex Luthor is in the field where the rocket crashes, and we find his hair burnt to a crisp. Then jumping ahead a few years, to "the present", we learn how Clark Kent, Lana Lang and Lex Luthor all form an uneasy friendship, and how Clark deals with the powers that are bestowed upon him, still uncertain of their source, even we are made to question the source of his powers. But we know one thing, Clark Kent is not Superboy or Superman, he is just an everyday young man with the curse of these powers thrown upon him...

Now, we can see these stories over and over again whenever we want. The First season is finally coming out on DVD, with the ability to switch from the widescreen to the traditional screen, and at a fairly reasonable price you just can't beat.

Summary: The Best Show on TV
Review: "Smallville" presents us with a teenage Clark Kent. Clark struggles with his superhuman powers while also coping with his undying love for Lana Lang. The problem is, Lana has a boyfriend, Whitney. The romance and the angst between Clark and Lana is so relatable, and the emotions potrayed so outstandingly by the actors. Lex Luthor is a good man. Clark has saved his life, and he is grateful. Lex enjoys his friendship with Clark. But, he also believes that Clark is an enigma. Lex is unbeknownst to the fact that he will eventually become Clark's enemy. Just as Clark's story is the developement of a hero, Lex's is the development of a villain. Lex struggles to not become like his tyrannical father, Lionel Luthor. Lionel is a cruel businessman who holds immense power in Metropolis.

The acting, the scripts, and the stories are superb!! Tom Welling portrays a relatble Clark Kent, Kristen Kreuk is excellent as Lana Lang, Michael Rosenbaum plays Lex perfectly, John Glover (who is only a guest star in this season) is filled with deliciously twisted malice as Lionel Luthor, Allison Mac is flawless as quirky journalist Chloe Sullivan, Sam Jones III is great as Clark's friend Pete, and John Schneider and Annete O'Toole are good as Clark's loving parents.

The first season presents us with the begining of developement in the characters. It is a superb show, and one of my personal favorites I'd recommend in this season is the episode titled "Cool", about where Clark and Lana have a "non-date". CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THIS SEASON IS OUT ON DVD!! :)

Summary: Buy this now!
Review: Smallville is one of the most entertaining shows on television! I think that "A viewer from USA" has got things mixed up. He or she must be hatin on the show because he didn't get a call back from the producers.

I have spoken to numerous people -- all ages, that LOVE Smallville. From the moment you watch it, not matter how far along into the show you are, it will hook you. The drama, the excitement, suspense...Smallville has it all. The characters are brilliantly cast, Tom Welling gives a brilliant performance, Kristin Kreuk is beautiful, Mark Rosenbaum is awesome! What more can you ask from a TV Show?

Buy this NOW~ You'll Love it!

Rating: 5 stars
