...amount of money. So when Smallville popped onto my television, I was a bit sceptical. Seriously, how many times can you tell the story without either totally destroying it or just coping something from the past?!? Well, I was pleasantly surprised and am quite happy to admit that I am now addicted. --Storyline-- You are introduced into the series with a blast into the past (well, 1989). You get to see the Kent’s just before their life begins with ...
...the strange evens happing in Smallville since the meteor shower. The main effect the meteor shower has is nothing to do with Clarke but instead on the town and the towns’ people. Every episode someone has been affected in a different way which interacts with their current abilities (like boy obsessed with bugs becoming like a spider himself). Clarke and his friends find themselves constantly trying to fix these problems whilst also trying to uncover ...

Review of Smallville - Series 1 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)

Smallville started in 2001 and follows the story of a young Clark Kent (Tom Welling), his progression through and problems he encounters along the way. The pilot episode starts off by showing the meteor storm in which Clark arrived and the destruction caused by this, of which Clark later feels guilty about. The meteors not only cause devastation but they also spray kryptonite all over Smallville, making people acquire special powers in Smallville ...
...we discover a resident of smallville has been infected by meteor rock (kryptonite) enabling them to have special powers. They usually are in dire need for help and / or are using this power selfishly and for no good. It is up to Clark and his trusting friends (who are unaware of his powers) to help and stop the 'meteor freaks'. The overarching storyline usually consists of Clark's growth and realisation of his powers, starting in the pilot episode ...

Review of Smallville - Series 1 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)

This first season of Smallville first appeared on US tv in 2001, and charts the life of young clark Kent/superman beginning with his life as a high school student. This is a very entertaining and addictive show, even though admittedly rather teenagerish and samey in plot lines. This season introduces Clark as he tries to learn to cope with his powers, and live as normal a life as possible, whilst always supported by his parents johnathan and Martha, ...
...matter of interest, Annette O'Toole played Lana in superman III starring Christopher Reeve. This season, is a good introduction to the show, and one of the main elements of the show follows Lana played by Kristen Kreuk and Clarks attempts to hide his feelings for her. They both seem to feel that they are meant to be with each other, but of course anyone remotely familiar with the superman story, knows that this is not the case. Lex Luther (Michael ...

Starting with Super Speed to X Ray vision then to Defying gravity. The shows creaters used the line "No tights, No flights" to advertise the show. Which basically means that Clark Kent won't be wearing and Superman Costumes anytime soon and that he won't be flying. This show ...

During the meteor shower that brought Clark to Smallville, Lex lost all his red hair. He classes that day as a miracle ever since and has wondered about the meteor rocks. Lex Luthor happens to be one of my favourite characters in this show. Jonathan (John Schneider) and Martha Kent (Annette O'Toole). These are ...

Review of Smallville - Series 1 - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)

Tom Welling (Clark Kent in Smallville) acted well as Superman in this series.Aside from his great abs and handsome face, Welling live to the expectation to match the legendary acting of Christopher Reeve as Superman. Welling has a realistic acting. He blended well the personalities of Clark Kent trying to hide his super powers and Superman who wants to save the day with his amazing abilities.Welling is the new image of Superman after Reeve.The concept ...
...with incredible action scenes, unexpected turn of events and funny humor that kept me laughing until CK do his superman thing.And while I was watching the series I felt happy, sad, thrilled that I almost fall at the edge of my chair, and in love all at the same time, mixed of emotions that I rarely experience in other movies. The story began and highlighted the hometown of the famous Clark Kent and presented CK as a farm boy, as a son, as a friend ...

...so I decided to give Smallville a try. Childish and silly? How wrong was I?! I loved it, it's very addictive and once you start watching you won't want to turn it off! So many evenings I promised myself I would just watch one or two episodes...4 hours later I'm thinking...1 more episode wont hurt! Smallville series 1 basically shows the story of Clark Kent arriving on earth with the event of the meteriod shower. The first series shows how the meteriod ...
...stories, as well as Clark Kent developing his powers. It is definately worth watching and I would recommend it to everyone and anyone, especially those who enjoy the supernatural. The stories can be sometimes a little extreme and you will find with the odd episode you need to bear with it, as there are only a few episodes like this and you don't want to miss them incase it links to something later on. Be patient! It will be worth your while! You ...

...WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT? Smallville is a TV series based upon the young life of a certain Mr Clark Kent, as he goes through his adolescent years. More teenage angst I hear you scream! Well, yes. But then what would you expect when you're growing up in a small country town in the sticks, you live on a farm and you're discovering that you're really not the same as all the other kids. The series begins, as it shows you a meteor shower that hit Smallville ...

...evrey day, well almost ordinary. Smallville season 1 is an excellnt show i love learning about clarks up bringing and his roots. Clark has no problem saving people from evil Krptonite infected people, but still has the same teenage problems faced by his fellow school mates, i.e deciding who to ask to the problem is a much bigger issue than saving his friends lives from an evil bad guy. I love this show, but the episodes can be a bit repetative, i ...
...it again, my advice is not to buy it unless u know what this show is like as many people i know dislike it, however they don't love superman the way i do, this series is for anyone who like teenage shows with poor acting ect and who also loves superman or super heros and that is why i love this show so much. ...

...have all the seasons of smallville and I recommend it seriously to everyone. Who doesnt know SUPERMAN? Everyone knows about is powers like strenght, x-ray vision,velocity etc But what about his childhood? and teenhood? We dont know exactly how Clark Kent was. All we know is that he came from another planet called Krypton. Smallville tells you every single moment of Clark's story, how he got the powers, how he lives on his farm. The serie starts ...
...from that moment on everything's change. Every episode is amazing, and when you finish one you already want to see another one. With so many great actors. I spend so many hours watching Smallville. And this Season is the best one, Season one is when you get to know every characters and how it all begans. Watch and see by yourself.. ...

...of the affected people in Smallville exploit to their benefit. In fact, Chloe has already made the link between the meteors and their effect on people. She is very involved in the school's newspaper (where Clark gets his first taste of working in the media, leading to his employment in the Daily Planet) and has an entire notice board filled with newspaper clippings, in which are documented various stories which she thinks are meteor-related. She ...
...for the main theme, and Smallville surprised me, somewhat. In most TV shows, the director simply tries to use current or popular music which is appropriate to the target audience - in this case, teenagers. However, I am 25 and while I still have common taste in music with most teens, I must admit that I find the music actually appropriate to what they were trying to convey in that scene, using current music. The only thing they did not do was to ...
