Product: Smallville: The Complete Ninth Season (2009)
Rating: 1.0
By far the WORST SEASON of the series, with few highlights to speak of
Where to start? Shall I begin with the same "Metropolis street" set (with no skyscrapers in sight) being reused and reused again to the point of absurdity, or the shoddy writing, cliche dialogue, and shocking new lows in special effects quality? As a long-time Smallville fan, I was appalled to witness the DRASTIC drop in both production and writing quality that make Season 9 a laughable mess of an embarrassment to a series that was once great. Save yourself the time and money and DO NOT subject yourself to this haphazard mash of laziness and television network under-funding. Hopefully Season 10 will give Smallville the send-off the show deserves, mark a return to LOCATION SHOOTS (as should be the NORM), and help us all forget that the inexcusably poor Season 9 ever existed. I have been a huge Smallville fan over the past decade, and am accordingly a big supporter of the show, but I can NOT in good conscience endorse the cringeworthy piece of GARBAGE that is Season 9!! And to The CW: PROPERLY FUND A SHOW, or take it off the air!
