Movie Reviews of Smallville - The Complete First Season
Movie Review: "You're never going to get anywhere with your eyes closed"
Summary: 5 Stars
I got hooked on Smallville with this very season. My sister went out on a limb and bought the entire first season. We didn't know if we would like it, but we thought "What the heck?"
What an understatement! This is an amazing series! The characters are so diverse, from the humble farmboy, Clark, to the high energy Chole, best friend Pete, girl-next-door Lana, and the rich boy, Lex.
"Pilot": Clark's ship lands in Smallville in 1989. Present day, Clark gets in trouble with Whitney, Lana's boyfriend. Former hazing victim, now equipped with electrical powers, comes back to torment and kill the football jocks. This is a great start to the series. I love the beginning, with Lionel and a young Lex in the heliocopter. 5/5
"Metamorphosis": Kid gets infected with bugs and turns into one, torments Lana. Man, this episode can scare the crap out of you. Not my favorite episode, but still pretty interesting. Clark "flies" in this one. 4/5
"Hothead": Gym teacher with a hot temper can create fire. Good special effects and definitely interesting (particularly with special guest John Glover)! 4/5
"Xray": Tina develops an unhealthy attachment to friend Lana; Clark discovers his X-Ray vision. I love the opening sequence where it appears Lex is robbing the bank. 5/5
"Cool": Ladies' man jock falls into a lake and can't get warm. Starts going after his old girlfriends and freezing them solid. This one is pretty terrifying and showcases Chloe beautifully. 4.5/5
"Hourglass": An older man is able to switch to his younger self and attempt to enact revenge on the Jurists who put him in jail. I love how Cassandra sees Clark's future and then Lex's. 5/5
"Craving": Guest star Amy Adams is a fat girl who wants to get thin. She does, but then develops a "craving" for fat. Chloe meets Lex in this episode and Pete gets himself a date. 4.5/5
"Jitters": Earl Jenkins holds LuthorCorp hostage, trying to find Level 3 and a cure for his jitters. An AMAZING episode, probably one of my favorites of the season. We get to see how Lionel "handles" the situation, Chloe's dad, and Lex's self-sacrificial attitude. 5/5
"Rogue": A dirty cop finds out Clark's secret and forces the farm boy to assist him in crime. Not one of my favorites (no one real reason). 4/5
"Shimmer": Someone is tormenting Victoria at Lex's mansion. It looks like it's Lex's teenaged admirer... I love seeing Lex in this episode, particularly with his interactions with Victoria and his father. 5/5
"Hug": A travelling salesman with the ability to force people to change their minds comes to Smallville and build a toxic planet nearby. Enjoyable episode, particularly the part where Lex becomes a machine-gun wielding psycho killer. 4.5/5
"Leech": Geeky kid (Shawn Ashmore) sneaks Clark's powers and becomes super famous...and super burdened. I really wasn't fond of the kid, how arrogant he became, but did like how Lex manipulated Victoria and her father. 3/5
"Kinetic": Three thieves who can move through walls and blackmail Lex. Kinda stupid (the meteor-rock tattoos were over the top), but I enjoyed seeing Lex scramble for his lost items and Whitney really turn around. 3.5/5
"Zero": The events at Club Zero come back to haunt Lex. Nice episode, showing both the good and bad sides of Lex. 5/5
"Nicodemus": A flower with the ability to change a person's behavior infects Jonathan...and then Lana...and then Pete. I liked seeing the new Jonathan and Lana and how it ties in with Dr. Hamilton, brought up in the "Jitters" episode. 5/5
"Stray": A young boy who can read people's minds is being used to commit crimes but flees to Jonathan and Martha's farm. I love the interactions between Clark and Ryan, Ryan reveals Chloe's feelings for Clark, and Lionel tempting his son with a job in Metropolis. 4.5/5
"Reaper": A young man is able to turn people to ash. I love how Lex deals with the man Lionel sent to "babysit" Lex! 4/5
"Drone": The race for class president gets out of hand when two of the candidates are attacked by bees. I like how Clark tries to run for president and how Pete assists him. 4/5
"Crush": A former art student, now equipped with telekinesis, returns to school and begins to enact revenge for the hit and run that ruined his skills. We get to see Chloe have a brief romance and Lana get jealous. 4.5/5
"Obscura": Lana develops a power to see through a kidnapper's eyes, which she must use to save Chloe. The "who-did-it" is pretty lame and nothing is very interesting in my opinion. 3/5
"Tempest": Lionel closes the plant, Clark takes Chloe to the spring formal, and Lana takes Whitney to the bus station...when a tornado hits. A nice way to end the season, with all people in an uncertain future. 4.5/5
Many people criticize the first season as being very "Monster of the Week". It is true for the most part, but still, it is an enjoyable season. You are introduced to the strange world of Smallville, the wonderful characters, and the beginnings of the Superman legend. I highly recommend.

The venerable Superman mythos gets a 21st-century updating in this imaginative and engaging television series from the WB Network, and series fans can celebrate the ratings success of Smallville with a six-disc set that compiles its entire first season. The deluxe package offers a chance to revisit the origins of the characters and their numerous plotlines, as well as view deleted scenes and other bonus features.
The premise of Smallville--Superman as a teenager--takes up just a few pages in Superman's very first comic book appearance (in Action Comics back in 1938), but series producers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar flesh out that period by portraying young Clark Kent (Tom Welling) not as the noble Superman-in-waiting, but as an average teen with some not-so-ordinary supernatural powers, including incredible strength and heat vision (Clark hasn't lifted up, up, and away as of yet). Clark's desire to fit in with his peers and make sense of his extraordinary abilities ground him in very realistic and identifiable terms for the series' primarily under-25 audience, as does his appealing and tentative romance with Kristen Kreuk as Clark's dreamgirl Lana Lang. But Smallville also strikes gold when it takes a turn towards more comic book territory, as evidenced by the parade of shape-shifting killers and other outlandish antagonists (many generated, in one of the series' most ingenious notions, by the same devastating meteor shower that brought the infant Clark to Earth) that Clark must harness his powers to face and defeat. Gough and Millar, along with their capable cast (which includes Michael Rosenbaum as a young and already bald-pated Lex Luthor, and Annette O'Toole and John Schneider as the Kents) manage to pull off the precarious high-wire act of combining science fiction with coming-of-age drama to create this highly watchable program.
Smallville: The Complete First Season offers a very complete and attractive DVD package that is rounded out by some highly desirable extras for longtime series fans. The six-disc set offers all 21 episodes of the first season, including the pilot, in widescreen anamorphic format; Gough and Millar are featured on the set's sole commentary track, which appears on the pilot episode. Viewers can also access a number of deleted scenes from various episodes as well as view original pre-production storyboards and WB promotional spots. An interactive "tour" of Smallville rounds out the extras, but DVD-ROM owners can use the discs to access more features via the Smallville web site. --Paul Gaita
