Fun times ahead for Clark and the gang. Go to Full Review
Clare Morgan Sydney Morning Herald 02/13/2020
They've ramped up the raunch factor since I last visited but, sadly, not the entertainment factor. There's a confusing web of relationships and a hint of mystery in Honduras but this story goes nowhere. Smallville? Dullsville, more like. Go to Full Review

Seeing the beginnings of the Fortress of Solitude, hearing Terence Stamp's voice and witnessing James Marsters transform from liquid to solid all over again, was a one-two-three punch of Smallville goodness. Go to Full Review

Carlos T @RT67858720 May 17 A temporada começa logo após a criação da Fortaleza da Solidão, trazendo uma atmosfera mais sombria e grandiosa para a série. Clark precisa lidar com a pressão de aceitar quem realmente é, enquanto o mundo ao redor começa a cobrar um preço cada vez maior por suas decisões. A chegada de Brainiac muda completamente a escala da ameaça, trazendo pela primeira vez uma sensação verdadeira de perigo global. Ao mesmo tempo, a relação entre Clark e Lex entra em seu ponto de ruptura definitivo. A amizade construída durante anos vai sendo consumida lentamente pela desconfiança, pela obsessão e pela ambição. E é justamente isso que torna Smallville tão marcante: o maior vilão da história do Superman não nasce de uma explosão ou de um acidente… ele nasce da dor, da rejeição A morte de Jonathan Kent é um dos momentos mais fortes não apenas da temporada, mas da série inteira. É o instante em que Clark percebe que salvar o mundo não significa conseguir salvar todos que ama. 8,8 See more Lucas G. @Luke6964 Jan 10 Best show ever well written hope, love, support, cgi, the emotion, action, plot, was good for its time everything is perfect especially a story line of what Superman went through before becoming man of steel See more Edward L @Glyndower Aug 25 Re-watching the entire series after 20+ years gives a different perspective on 'Smallville'. Although still the best screen version of a comic-book the series starts to lose its way from Season 5 onwards. The major flaw is the Clark/Lana story arc, obviously the producers were too in thrall to the Superman canon to allow Clark not to be with Lois at the end but the idea that he would not tell Lana about his powers when half of Smallville seems to know is nonsensical. The casting also proves problematic. Welling, Kreuk, Glover and Rosenbaum are excellent but season by season some really bad actors join the cast. We are lumbered with Mack from the outset, an actor who seems to express all emotions with an inane smile, biting her lip and rolling her eyes. She is then joined by Jensen Ackles, who hones the 'I'm so cool.' persona he brings to everything he has been in since. Camille Mitchell is awful as the hayseed sheriff but luckily we lose her after a couple of seasons. Worst of all is the silicon enhanced Erica Durance whose acting is almost as bad as Mack's, with whom she shares a lot of screen time See more Ed R @JustcallmeER 10/14/2024 The series starts to heat up! The introduction of Zod brings a daunting twist! See more Michael P @MikeP29 06/02/2024 The story points in this season actually annoyed me... Why didn't Clarke tell Lana after his dad passed? Why is Zodd "possessing" Lex? Louise is some 20 year old and she's a Congresswoman's chief of staff? Look, I can look passed a lot and I know this is a cheaper sort of Superman show but some of the story points were a bit off with this one See more Andrius Y @cineastayps1661828 03/08/2024 La verdad es que me encanta que hayan explorado nuevos terrenos, tramas impredecibles ,alocadas e incluso mas oscuras , obscenas y atrevidas See more Read all reviews
