REVIEW

(After watching the first episode)


“Smallville” isn’t bad. But if it’s going to dip its toe in the hokey pool, it better bring it. It doesn’t.

Tom Welling is obviously older than the rest of the actors playing teens, glaringly so. And, while I welcome a show about Superman’s teen years, I think that time hasn’t been kind to “Smallville”: The special effects are obviously dated.

For similar, wholesome fun, I’ll just watch the Christopher Reeve movie versions instead.

 

Verdict: OK


About: (Source: smallville)

The end of the beginning starts here. Taking flight in its tenth and final season, this modern retelling of a hero’s legendary origins continues to blend realism, action, heart and humor as Clark Kent (Tom Welling) soars toward claiming his birthright.

Clark has emerged from his darkest hour, only to find the path to his destiny blocked by ghosts from the past — shadows in the present tempting Clark toward the darkness at every turn. Despite insurmountable odds, is Clark strong enough to step into the light and claim his rightful place as Earth’s mightiest protector?
