Intelligent plumbing of these fundamental questions of identity and purpose has given Smallville a deeper dramatic resonance than the DC comics or the several Superman movies. Go to Full Review

Lex gets his own supervillain: his icy industrialist father Lionel (John Glover), who makes Machiavelli look like a pushover. One last highlight: Christopher Reeve guest stars as a scientist privy to Clark's secret in "Rosetta." Go to Full Review

Carlos G @RT16336600 6d The character development from Lana is very suprising, without getting into much details, I can say I saw a side of her that doesn't relate to the innocent cheerleader we thought we knew. I really liked the decision to incorporate Christopher Reeve into the cast, it brought that sense of nostalgia and made the series more appealing towards older audiences, even if his role doesn't require a lot of screen-time, it definately is key for Clark's character development. We got the answers to our questions regarding that topic, which personally was really satisfying. We also got to know Clark's true beliefs and emotions, which was a detail that surely will make you reconsider many things. I believe the new abilities Clark has adquired had a lot of potential, but were not "written" as good they should have. If I am not mistaken, even not according to comics. I understand the guionists may not want Clark to become so powerful this early, yet their was no need to give him new powers this soon.

I especially loved his high school life, and even though Loise Lane seems small and less mature, she's still the prettiest character in the show. Lex Luthor really added something special to the series. I loved it. See more Carlos T @RT67858720 May 16 Smallville — 2ª Temporada (2002–2003) Após os eventos da primeira temporada, Clark começa a se aproximar cada vez mais da verdade sobre sua origem kryptoniana. A descoberta da nave, os símbolos alienígenas e as mensagens vindas de Krypton fazem Clark perceber que talvez exista um propósito muito maior por trás de sua chegada à Terra. Ao mesmo tempo, sua relação com Lana continua cheia de obstáculos, segredos e desencontros emocionais. Enquanto isso, Lex Luthor mergulha cada vez mais em sua obsessão por Clark e pelos mistérios de Smallville, iniciando lentamente sua transformação rumo ao homem que um dia se tornará o maior inimigo do Superman. E no centro de tudo permanece Jonathan Kent… tentando proteger o filho do mundo, mesmo sabendo que talvez um dia não consiga mais. ⭐ Nota final: 8,5 / 10 See more Lucas G. @Luke6964 Jan 10 Best show ever well written hope love support cgi was good for its time everything is perfect especially a story line of what Superman went through before becoming man of steel See more Big P. @BP821 Sep 19 5 stars. Best show ever! See more Edward L @Glyndower Aug 13 Still the best comic-book screen adaptation although Alison Mack is increasingly annoying as the pointless Chloe. Grinning inanely while wearing a silly haircut isn't acting. See more Read all reviews
