My Thoughts:
This one is pretty good... I enjoyed it but I have seen better. It has an interesting storyline. But I did have to struggle a little to give it my full attention. Effects wise... there really wasn't anything here I haven't seen before. But over all not a bad way to waste an hour and a half.

I watched this one with my daughter Brittany today. Her pick. I found it to be a fun... albeit silly film. But I am sure it was meant to be. After all it is a family Halloween film so it is children friendly for the most part. Through some of it I was annoyed with the main cast's over-acting. But once I got used to the idea it added to the fun. I can see adding this to my yearly Halloween viewing... though for me it is more to make fun of and laugh at. I feel comfortable recommending this one... it is worth the time put in to watch it.

Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman Marathon, a review by addicted2dvd

5. BRUTAL YOUTH
Jimmy's boyhood pal comes staggering into the newsroom - white-haired, wrinkled and old.

My Thoughts:
This is a fun episode. For more then one reason. I enjoyed the storyline. Especially seeing Lois panic about her mortality. Seeing and old Lois with a still young Superman was pretty comical. I also liked that they had the guest star of Jack Larson playing the old version of Jimmy Olsen. For those of you that don't know that name. His is the guy that played Jimmy Olsen in the Adventures of Superman starring George Reeves. So it was cool seeing him reprive that role (well some what) after all these years.


6. THE PEOPLE VS. LOIS LANE
The D.A. has an airtight case against a suspected killer; the crime and film and a city full of eyewitnesses. The accused: Lois Lane.

My Thoughts:
This is a very good 2 part episode. Enjoyed it quite a bit.


7. DEAD LOIS WALKING
Will Lois get the chair? Not with Superman around! One prison break later, Lois and Clark hunt for the real killer.

My Thoughts:
While a very good conclusion... I think I liked the first part a little more. I didn't care much for how Lois looked in that wig she wore in a couple of the scenes in this episode.


8. BOB AND CAROL AND LOIS AND CLARK
Lois and Clark's new best buddies Bob and Carol seem too good to be true. And they are: Bob is the cold-blooded assassin Deathstroke.

My Thoughts:
This one is enjoyable... but really no more then a filler episode. I thought it was kinda funny to have Deathstroke use the same glasses technique for a secret identity as Clark does... but over all while enjoyable I think it could have been better. Some of the acting by the guest stars was a little on the stiff side.
