Product: Smallville: The Complete Ninth Season (2009)
Rating: 1.0
SMALLVILLE HAS BECOME DULLVILLE
Smallville has had its good and bad episodes from the very beginning however, it seems that season nine is filled with the the worst episodes(save for a few) which are the result of inferior story concepts and writing. In the case of the new "villain" focus, Zod, the development has seriously degenerated to an appalling level. Disturbingly, the main characters have also degenerated with the worst being, most unfortunately, Clark/Superman/Kent. The series appears to have lost its primary focus of Clark becoming the true comic book hero that loyal patrons, the world over, have loved for more than seven decades. This is what happens when the producers and writers attempt to recast a super icon into an ordinary, and dull, "reality" hero. Perhaps season ten shall redeem the series with renewed focus on the true Superman story . . .
