Critics' reviews

"'Smallville' picks and chooses from the vast array of characters in the Superman comic-book mythology, and adds its own twists (...). It all seems to be coming together: myth, revelations, and romantic commitment"

Ken Tucker: Entertainment Weekly
"Superman purists won't like it. People abnormally devoted to established teenage shows from which it borrows won't like it. But anyone with a flexible streak should find plenty to admire in 'Smallville' (...) [it] is an odd mix of imitation and innovation"

Neil Genzlinger: The New York Times
"Purists might balk, but (...) the latest retelling of the Superman tale is a brilliant blend of tradition and contemporary sensibility. Not only is it a Superman for a new generation, it's a Superman for every generation."

The Hollywood Reporter
"There's talent and intelligence at work in 'Smallville'. Given time, maybe they'll find a more distinctive voice...And that would be super."

Robert Bianco: USA Today
"Ultimately, though, the familiarity of the story might work against the show (...) people may feel they've already seen this before and know where it goes."

Steven Oxman: Variety
