My Thoughts: This movie was given to me one year ago this month. After watching this one I must admit that I have mixed feelings. I found it to be an interesting concept, but ay the same time... it wasn't something very entertaining to watch. Because of this I don't think it will have all that much re-watch value. It is a type of movie that while I watched it I wasn't all that impressed with it. But afterwards the more I thought on it the stronger the story is. But even with that said, it isn't a very impressive movie. I found it to be a pretty average psychological thriller... borderline horror movie (the trailer calls it a horror). I could see myself watching this movie again at some time... but not anytime soon... and definitely not that often.My Rating: Out of a Possible 5 (From What Movies I Been Watching on March 10th, 2012) Tom's TV Pilots marathon, a review by Tom
Plot:Daily Planet with a year's worth of headlines. The production team whose big-screen spectacular revitalized live-action Superman adventures brings a live-action Boy of Steel to the small screen with 26 year-one episodes of the series that ran four heroic seasons. What emergency compelled Clark to emerge as Superboy? When did Clark/Superboy first encounter the green menace of Kryptonite? How did Lex Luthor lose his hair? The series has its own entertaining visions of key moments in the lore. So, enroll at Shuster U. Class is now in session. Superboy 1.01 The Jewel of the Technacal Cast: John Haymes Newton (Clark Kent/Superboy), Stacy Haiduk (Lana Lang), Jim Calvert (T.J. White), Peter White (Professor Thomas Lang), Scott Wells (Lex Luthor), Michael Manno (Leo), Gregg Todd Davis (Haines), Forest Neal (Dean Thompson), Bob Barnes (Dr. Spencer) This is the first episode which aired, though not the first one shot. I had enjoyed this season when I first watched it. Sadly no further seasons were ever released on DVD. Rating: Superboy 1.05 Countdown to Nowhere Cast: John Haymes Newton (Clark Kent/Superboy), Stacy Haiduk (Lana Lang), Jim Calvert (T.J. White), Doug Barr (Roscoe Williams), Duriel Harris (Theodore), Noah Meeks (Miller), Fred Broderson (Detective), Jay Glick (Security Chief), Paul J. Darby (Radar Operator) I decided that I would also watch this episode. This one was shot to be the pilot but it then aired as the fifth episode. In this episode, Superboy makes his first public appearance. Rating: (From Tom's TV Pilots marathon on July 27th, 2012) |
