Smallville Season 7 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Another great season packed with new surprises however,I don't see the logic behind having an 8th season (not just because Lex & Lana aren't going to be in many episodes next season) because as a former comic book reader/collector, Clark is a bit beyond the age of the comic book heros' departure from the farm to head up to the fortress (?; why did they destroy it?) to hone his powers and become Superman! I think, but I hope I'm wrong, they are going to dillute the entertainment value of this well played out show (dispite the changes they made in Supermans past) and push it to cancellation! It was a great ride,but it's time to "stop the presses"!

A WEAK season, but I still can't stop watching SV... 3 out of 5 stars.

I don't know if it was the writers strike or just bad decisions, but this was definitely the weakest of the 7 seasons of Smallville.

Before this year there was not one episode of Smallville that I wouldn't (and didn't) enjoy watching again and again. I love this show! But over all this season was a disappointment, and there are some episodes I'd like to forget.

Lana and Clark's story, whether you like it or not, has been a major part (and draw) of the series and this year it took a very anti-climatic, bizarre, and out of character turn. Fans and detractors of the relationship alike were bitterly disappointed.

The addition of Kara (Laura Vandervoort) may have thrilled some comic book fans (and those who enjoy a lot of cleavage) but her story added very little to Smallville and actually distracted from other more interesting plot-lines. The WEAKEST episodes of the season featured Kara. Vandervoort is no doubt cute in her short shorts, but her acting skills really left something to be desired.

However, the most irritating thing about the addition of "Super-Barbie" was that she came in and FLEW before Clark. That had to have been one of the STUPIDEST decisions every made by TPTB on this show. Clark flying some day is a highly anticipated HUGE event... which has now been totally diluted.

Smallville over all has been an amazing show and given what has come before, I guess I have high expectations. But, even though this season was not up to par, I never once considered missing it, and will certainly buy the DVDs of season 7 to add to my collection.

On another note, Supernatural, which follows Smallville on the CW, absolutely ROCKED this season. Many weeks I enjoyed it more than SV. Both shows are MUST SEEs for me.

Editorial Review:

They tried to be friends. But their chosen paths set them on a collision course. The Clark Kent-Lex Luthor rivalry explodes into the fierce good- versus-evil battle fans have long expected in Season 6 of the spectacular series that reinterprets the characters and events of Superman mythology from its roots. Adding to the rivalry: Lana Lang becomes Mrs. Luthor. Clark/Superman would be stunned to find out why she says yes. But that?s not all that?s stunning. Green Arrow forms a Super Hero league. Will Clark join? Phantom Zone escapees menace Earth. Can Clark stop them? LuthorCorp expands its dark experiments. Will an awesome kryptonite-powered army be the result? The answers ? and thrills ? are here!Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 085391125860 Manufacturer No: 112586

Smallville 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Superman is a childhood hero to me, so the series has a built in appeal. On the whole, I enjoy the series and look forward to the next episode to see what happens. There are occasionally some gaps is the script that spawn unanswered questions. The personal relationships between the main characters are sometimes frustrating. The general plots are creative, and the special effects are well done.

Editorial Review:

An astonishing season of destiny! Clark Kent now carries a full load of classes at Central Kansas U. but that's not all he carries. He carries the full weight of his - perhaps the world's - destiny. "We call this season Superman in Training" series co-creator Alfred Gough says. "Clark is going to accept his destiny." During this exciting pivotal season: The Fortress of Solitude rises. A spaceship mystery unfolds. A dark tragedy - one even Clark's powers can't prevent - strikes. These and more key elements of Superman lore fall into place.Running Time: 923 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS UPC: 012569762091 Manufacturer No: 76209

Great Season. Finally, lois lane is introduced in a very interesting way. Clark Kent comes back from Jor El naked and Lois ends up finding him. Hilarious entrance. I really dont want to spoil the season if you havent seen it. But, this season is well worth the buy. The seasons just keeps getting better

Editorial Review:

Clark Kent will have plenty of reasons to remember his senior year! The thrilling reinterpretation of the Superman legend evolves in Season 4 whose 22 episodes include the quest for 3 Kryptonian crystals and Clark's bold attempt to keep those mysterious stones from destroying Earth. Clark also becomes a highly recruited football star. Lana gets a boyfriend. Lois Lane smart opinionated and entirely annoying to Clark comes to Smallville. Chloe learns the scoop of the century. Lionel becomes a straight-up nice guy. Lex steps further from the light into darkness. New characters (Krypto Mr. Mxyzptlk) and a new power emerge. The calling awaits Clark an awakening to a destiny that only he can accept and fulfill.Running Time: 990 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS UPC: 012569707702

Editorial Review:

Truth, identity, and responsibility are the cornerstones of Smallville's exceptional third season. When viewers left Clark (Tom Welling) at the end of season 2, he was feeling his oats in Metropolis with the help of a red Kryptonite ring, but by the opening of season 3, he must return to Smallville to not only help his parents save their farm, but seek some resolution in his relationships with Lana (Kristin Kreuk) and Lex (Michael Rosenbaum), who's returned from his abandonment at the conclusion of the previous season. Lex himself must deal with some shocking revelations regarding his relationship with his sinister father Lionel (John Glover, magnetic as always), and Lana becomes involved with a new figure in town, the mysterious Adam Knight (Lost's Ian Somerholder), who may or may not be a certain caped crusader. And speaking of heroes in disguise, the season's finale introduces Kara, a young woman with powers similar to Clark's--could she in fact be his sister, known best to comic book fans as Supergirl? Season 3 is chock full of such intriguing moments, including an appearance by future Daily Planet editor Perry White (Michael McKean, the real-life husband of series star Annette O'Toole) in "Perry," helmed by Supergirl film director Jeannot Szwarc; the return of villains Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Shawn Ashmore, and Jesse Metcalfe from seasons 1 and 2 (in "Asylum"); the departure of series regular Samuel L. Jones; and a intrigue-fraught final turn by Christopher Reeve as Dr. Swann ("Legacy").

The boxed set matches the high quality of the season with some terrific extras, including commentary on three episodes by series creators Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, along with Rosenbaum, Allison Mack (Chloe), and Glover. Gough and Millar also contribute commentary to a battery of deleted scenes, and Mack's "Chloe Chronicles" returns for another go-round. The supplemental features are rounded out by a behind-the-scenes featurette, an amusing gag reel, and an Easter egg with Rosenbaum conducting some offbeat interviews. --Paul Gaita

Most great shows end before the final episode 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

and "Smallville" is no exception to this rule. In fact, this show ran out of steam after Series 3. No matter - Series 2 is the best of them, and you can switch the video off just before the end of the penultimate episode to achieve a satisfactory conclusion with no real cliffhangers.

Where this series got it right and the later ones lost it is in the characterization. It is a sci-fi show, so fantasy of course plays a big part in the storylines. That said, at least a couple of the episodes in Series 2 are quite gripping, with minimal superpower input ("Precipice" and "Accelerate"). "Insurgence" is almost movie-like in its pace and highlights the Luthor family struggle as perhaps the most dramatic thread running through the series. ("Skinwalker" is annoyingly political and can be skipped by reading a precis of the plot off the Web.)

Clark Kent is always at risk of being one-dimensional, but that's what red kryptonite is for. In any case, the young Kryptonian needs upstanding examples of human virtue to encourage him on his path to becoming Superman, and, in the good series of "Smallville", he has this in his foster parents and his close friends: Pete, Chloe and Lana.

In Tom Welling and Kristin Kreuk, the show had two impossibly attractive actors who could be exceptional TV role models for the virtues of generosity and loyalty. Unfortunately, in later series, the writers seemed more interested in appealing to the "American Pie" audience. At that point it becomes harder to believe that Clark would not become more cynical and introspective.

No matter, Series 2 of "Smallville" is a good piece of work and enough to tide fans over until the next adaptation of the Superman legend.

Editorial Review:

Girls homework kryptonite. Don't miss a single second - the entire second season! Clark Kent lives in Smallville but in many ways he's out of this world - and so is this spectacular series that provides a fascinating spin on Superman lore. This 6-disc collection includes all 23 second-season episodes plus bonus materials worthy of a hero. Among the episode highlights: Clark grapples with his true calling. Is he on Earth to serve humanity or perhaps destroy it? Lex gets married - twice! Lana moves in with Chloe adding a new dynamic to their Clark dilemma. Martha and Jonathan receive miraculous news. Lionel pulls devious strings. And Pete becomes a keeper of the Clark secret. One thing we can't keep secret: the legend grows stronger in Smallville!Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: TELEVISION/SERIES & SEQUELS Rating: NR UPC: 085392425624 Manufacturer No: 24256

Great Start to a Nearly Perfect Series 5 out of 5 stars.

Ok, you don't need me to tell you how great this show is... but I will anyway. The acting is top notch, the plots are mind bending and the characters are completely 3 dimensional. The first season took about 3 episodes to get on it's feet... everything beyond that is history. You'll find yourself crazy to watch the next episode, each one more entertaining and pleasing to watch than the last. Not since "Star Trek: Voyager" have I enjoyed a show this much.
Oh, and by the way... While you're watching Season 1 you'll probably think, "this show can't get any better." Trust me, each season is a massive improvement over the last, you'll be blown away.

Smallville-The Complete Seventh Season 5 out of 5 stars.

I have enjoyed Smallville since season 1 and with the seventh season going to blu-ray, I believe it will be awesome because I own season 6 on blu-ray.

A Transitional Season 4 out of 5 stars.
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.

Smallville's Seventh Season can easily be categorized into three distinct parts, each containing their own strenghts and weaknesses:

1. At the beginning of this season, Kara Jor-El (better known as Supergirl) is introduced. The developement of her character is a welcome breathe of fresh air to the show, while the description of her Kryptonian parents' relationship to Clark's Kryptonian family provides some intriguing backstory into the politics of Krypton. At the same time, however, the Clark/Lana soap opera continues, milking that relationship for all it is worth (a would-be touching moment in the finale is rendered midly emotional as a result).

2. The middle of the season struggled to find it's footing. On one (positive) hand, Clark takes a very interesting romp through Lex's twisted mind in "Fracture", while Braniac (always a well-acted, interesting character) returns to wreak more havoc on the House of El. On the other (negative) hand, the Grant Gabriel character arc completely fails, the much-hyped "Gemini" episode fails to deliver its potential, while the return of an old friend in "Hero" proves to be anti-climatic and contrived.

3. The final portion of the season, however, is what boosts my rating from three stars to four. The final seven episodes of the series deal with the mysterious "Veritas" society (of which Lionel Luthor is intimately involved in) that know of Clark's Kryptonian heritage. The quest to decipher "Veritas" leads Lex Luthor to take the final step (in a chilling scene) towards obsessive madness, puts Lana, Chloe, and Kara in mortal danger, and ultimately sets up a long-awaited Clark/Lex showdown.

To conclude, though the opening portions of the Smallville's Seventh Season were average at best, the "Veritas" angle brings back the intense drama that Smallville fans are used to. As the show progresses into what may be it's final (eighth) season minus a few long-time cast members, the look of the show may be quite different than ever before. In recent seasons, Smallville creators Al Gough and Miles Millar have been heavily criticed for tampering with the heralded Superman cannon. However, with the depature of Gough and Millar following this season, perhaps the new producers will spend more time explaining how Clark ultimately became the Superman we all know and love.

Editorial Review:

Picking up where its fifth season left off, Smallville's sixth season begins with Metropolis in ruins, Clark (Tom Welling) trapped in the Phantom Zone, and General Zod inhabiting the body of Lex (Michael Rosenbaum). Even when that situation, dubbed "Black Thursday," is over, Clark still has to capture the criminals who escaped from the Phantom Zone. Meanwhile, having driven away Lana (Kristin Kreuk), she finds comfort in the home and arms of Lex, driving further anxiety into that romantic triangle that has expanded to include Chloe (Allison Mack, still with a smile that lights up the orb on top of the Daily Planet) and her new beau, photographer Jimmy Olsen (Aaron Ashmore). And Lois (Erica Durance)? We see hints of her inevitable future in her becoming a reporter for the tabloid rag The Inquisitor ("The thrill of discovery, the clack of the keys, the scent of fresh ink… I think I've finally found my calling!") and flashing some sparks with Clark especially in a Valentine's Day episode called "Crimson."

She also finds a new boyfriend in Oliver Queen (Justin Hartley), a tycoon who moves from Star City to Metropolis and revives a boarding-school rivalry with Lex. But Queen is also a superhero, the Green Arrow, and he's out to thwart Lex's project called 33.1, which runs tests on meteor-powered humans. And in an awesome episode called "Justice," the Green Arrow gathers his team--Bart Allen (Kyle Gallner), a.k.a. Impulse (a change after he was first called the Flash); Arthur "AC" Curry (Alan Ritchson), a.k.a. Aquaman; and Victor Stone (Lee Thompson Young), a.k.a. Cyborg (who had all appeared in the series before)--with Clark to shut down Lex. Yet another hero from the comic books--an interplanetary detective (Phil Morris)--helps Clark fight rogue Kryptonians. It all ends in a slam-bang finale with a number of surprises. Even though the Lana drama went on too long, Green Arrow and some choice episodes stuff made this one of Smallville's best seasons. Guest stars include Tori Spelling as a nosy gossip reporter and Lynda "Wonder Woman" Carter as Chloe's mom. Bonus Blu-ray features include deleted scenes in high definition, a 25-minute history of Green Arrow in comic books and on TV, a 30-minute fan spotlight, and two Smallville Legends tie-in series: a crude CGI series on Green Arrow that fills in his back story, and Justice & Doom, an animated comic book about the team. --David Horiuchi

I was about ready to set this series down when I first picked up seasons 1 and 2. It has this problem with being repedative. The Meteor rocks did this, the meteor rocks did that. Was starting to get pretty boring. Then around season three the over arching plot started and the actual story from the books that we all remember began to take hold. Then it got good. Suffer through the first couple of seasons for this great show.
