Majorthebys Charming and brutal

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

kawanp What this series has set out primarily to present was a well detailed history about the origin of the man of steel, so, what discouraged me in the beginning was the fact that they did not cautiously exploited the flourishing of the powers of the steel man, such as his vision of heat, super speed, superaudition, freezing blow, at first there was only battles against meteorites, and charlatans who appropriated the vestiges that came with Clark's spacecraft, and I see this as a negative point for the series. On its development, I must admit that Warner invested in a special way in the first seasons, but, on the other hand, I did not like the CW issuer have taken the reins of the series after the fifth season. From this moment, the series was almost completely lost, and I will prove it.With the reservation of very few episodes, there was no such convincing power as there were in the first five seasons, the producers seemed to have taken a greater impulse than Superman himself and decided to fly in their imaginations for a long time, right after realizing be too late, there was no longer salvation. Another point to emphasize is that the special effects of that time were not the best, but nothing that would drastically restrict the writers, there were not many restrictions for the cinematographic construction, and this is another negative point that I consider in the series.Conclusion, Smallville relied with several memorable endings that they hung to the side emotional and involved many times the viewer, a clear example of this was the pilot episode of the series, where we could see Clark Kent, still shy, developing a climax with Lana Lang, an omen of what would we see in the series. Smallville bet heavily on the youthful feelings of the boy, including during the fourth season we could witness one of the series' greatest romantic moments to the sound of the bandthat gave life to the episode and also the series, "Lifehouse". So said, I supplement my understanding with the engine that really restricted the series, its "exorbitant amount" of episodes influenced much, in my sincere opinion, the development of the story. Smallville could have better performances if it reduced its number of episodes per season, giving even time for the directors and writers to think about the elaboration of the scripts, markings of scenarios, among other subjects. Again we come across moments in which direction, leaders and writers should have remained with their feet on firm grounds, rather instead of taking flight. .

IntegrateDan Tom Welling is vastly underrated for his performance as Superman in this captivating performance.

rharris-35 When it comes to TV Series, one of my most important qualifiers is can I re-watch it and how many times. I have watched all 10 seasons, 6 times, and I never get tired of it.DO NOT dismiss this series as one of the "The CW"/"The WB" teenage shows, it is much more than that.Superman was one of my favorite comic book characters, but when it comes to "Smallville" the fact that the overall story is about Superman as a young man, this series is about people. If you like a character driven stories, this one is as good as it getsI am older and I still found this story amazingly well done. There is one fact that is undeniable, no TV show is on the air for 10 Seasons without appealing to a good size audience. Only "Bones" and "Supernatural" come to mind recently to last as long.Do yourself a favor, give this show a few episodes I think you will find a really good story of all the things that make life worth living.

Paul Kelly Under the guise of an origin story of the most iconic & powerful hero in Comics; this tale of a pre-pubescent teen built like a tank & filled with angst hiding a secret that he tells everyone except his lifelong crush Lana Lang absolutely destroys the mythos of the character and ultimately, any respect I could possibly have for him.I never read any of the source material before or after watching this show so my impression of these characters are based entirely on their representation in it; Superman is supposed to represent "Truth, Justice and the American Way" (...at least, I think he is) but most of what we see is him lying to absolutely everyone around him over and over again while kind-of-but-not-really executing people with powers whenever they try to hurt the people he spends his time lying to.The biggest victim is Lana Lang - I had no idea the "American Way" of Dating involved psychologically torturing your long-time-crush by consistently lying to her (even way after she's already told you she can tell you're a liar) and letting her go while stalking her at the same time, getting into the middle of all of her attempts to build a normal life... to the point where she's driven into the arms of (conceivably) the worst person on the face of the planet.Top this with the fact he slept with her and proposed to her and NEVER told her the biggest secret he has: he was passively responsible for the death of her parents, which haunted her until she met him and he started psychologically torturing her soo much she never had time to think about them anymore.He loses his powers and basically sprints into bed with her then completely abandons her the moment he gets them back - and he NEVER tells her the entire truth!! She ends up finding out after other aliens come searching for "Kal-El" and she slowly starts piecing the story together, but it's never stated whether she figures out his connection to her parents death or just remains oblivious to it forever.After like 6 seasons she finally figures it all out, begins a relationship and becomes happy... only to be filled with Kryptonite (literally) and 'Put on a Bus' forever!! Then Mr. "I make the most noble decisions every time" instantly falls in love with some other chick, Lois!It's a lot like Romeo & Juliet... Romeo was totally in love with some other girl before he met Juliet and completely destroyed her life in like 3 days.Watching 'Smallville' as a kid absolutely made me want to be a better and more benevolent person... better than Clark Kent is anyway; I really did enjoy watching it for that "wow, what a hero!" feeling but if I spent any time thinking about it I always came up with better ways for him to deal with the situations he was in that involved less deception and manipulation.He's just a filthy liar, trying to protect himself from the thoughts in his head... even if the public reacted badly to his 'immigrant' status - what the hell could they do? Just don't tell them about the whole Kryptonite thing and you're golden!I will say some positive stuff about it soon, but I wanna complain about how shows are put on DVD... after like half a season I was soo sick of that damn theme song playing over and over every 40 minutes that I started skipping the opening scenes: fast forwarding until the theme song ended. I truly do believe that a DVD should open with the theme playing over the menu, you hit play and the episodes play - a title card pops up with credits instead of the opening sequence and all closing credits for every episode on the disc are played in a big list at the end of each disc (or in a menu). I'm just gonna skip it otherwise and I'll never know who was responsible for making it, ever.Also, no-one ever really did any schoolwork; they just went to a building called 'school' occasionally.I did love the chemistry between Clark, Lana, Pete & Chloe plus the Kent Family was really well established as a solid support network for a pathological liar to grow up in. The episodes with Christopher Reeve were standouts in my opinion as well as the ones where Red Kryptonite was used and Superman stopped lying to everyone for twenty minutes.A lot of people liked Lex Luthors portrayal in this series but I think the standout was his Father, Lionel, who remained intellectually consistent until his demise... Lex was sometimes quoting "The Art of War" and sometimes acting like a five year old who was just realizing that Teddy Bears represent something much more dangerous.I have watched the entire series like 3 times but I'd only recommend that someone else watch it once...
