Bad Boys, Bad Boys... whatcha gonna do?

Great action in typical Michael Bay fashion but by mid-movie I was wishing for two different leads. Will Smith's dialogue seemed completely centered on proving how cool, how hip, how fly, how dope he is and it was starting to get annoying.

It's time to put Martin Lawrence to the acid test by putting him in a dramatic role and see if he can act outside of the pathetic, whining, goofball characters he always seems to be cast as. At least Will Smith has some range.

Smallville Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

EPISODE 1: ARRIVAL
Clark saves Chloe in the FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE, although his actions may have dire consequences. Also, two beings - and eventually a third - emerge from the spaceship that crash-landed during the meteor shower.

My Thoughts:
This was a good conclusion to the last season's cliffhangers. Clark and Chloe talk.... so now she finally knows everything... and he knows that she knows. I have actually liked Chloe knowing... even more then Pete knowing. I do think that Clark facing the 2 Kryptonians that came to conquer was settled a little too quickly... but considering how much went on in this episode it is understandable. But I personally think this one would have been better as a 2 parter.

EPISODE 2. MORTAL
Normal is cool. His powers are gone, but Clark now has what he always wanted: Lana's love. However, when she and the Kents are held hostage by fugitives, Clark must rely solely on his wits to rescue them.

My Thoughts:
A good episode... This one I believe was to show that with or without his powers Clark is a hero.

EPISODE 3: HIDDEN
No more meteor problems in SMALLVILLE. In fact, no more Smallville...if a missile launched by a renegade computer wiz hits its mark. And perhaps no Clark to the rescue. He is shot and declared dead.

My Thoughts:
This one was a good episode as well. Of course in this one Clark gets his powers back... Jor-El possesses Lionel Luthor's body to save Clark... and it is found out that someone Clark loves will die soon.

EPISODE 4: AQUA
Lois is in deep. AC - aka AQUAMAN - saves her from drowning, and Lois can't resist being attracted to him. But AC has more than romance on his mind. He's out to thwart LUTHORCORP's secret sonar weapon.

My Thoughts:
Of course I enjoyed this one... as I said... I like the ones where the other heroes come to Smallville. I have always liked the character of Aquaman. This episode was supposed to get it's own spin-off show... but it got lost in the shuffle when the WB and UPN combined to become The CW. I did get the opportunity to see the pilot episode they made for it... and it really looked good... such a shame  that it never came to be.
