Smallville 'Doomsday' Review
|

|||||
So this was the big Finale we'veall been waiting for! This was the big fight between Doomsday and Clark Kent the ...according to Jimmy, SuperGuy! Smallville used a fine twenty-one (21) installments to build up a dynamic relationship between Doomsday and Clark's unfulfilled destiny. Smallville also used these installments at best to develop Clark into a 'Superhero' image and to set Davis into his doomed path. Every minute spent on Smallville this season was well proficient, even though there were a few tweaks and minor adjustments needed, Smallville pulled it off, one of the reasons why this finale - didn't cut it! Problems I found with this Finale: Tess, for believing that Lois had the capacity to break into her vault and escape without being detected. The conversation between Lois and Clark on the phone was too long when compared to the fight between Clark and Doomsday and was probably even unnecessary. The fight between Doomsday and Clark was a major let down! Everything happened in the blink of an eye, literally. Doomsday took so many episodes to emerge and when he eventually did, his defeat only took a few seconds and was poorly executed. Everything about Doomsday in this episode well ...really didn't cut it! The scene between Chloe and Jimmy was too happily ever after and it was known before that it wasn't going to be all good. The Chloe-Jimmy-Davis triangle was predictable. Things I liked in this Finale: Allison Mack's acting was flawless. She has the ability to draw an audience in, even through a silly plot. The conversation between Clark and Rokk, where they incorporated a change in future because Clark saved Chloe's live. It was mentioned in 'Legion' that Chloe wasn't in Rokk's time. It's good to know find that each action had its consequence. The presence of a possible villain, Zod. His presence showed that Doomsday was used to divert our attention away from the real villain. Learning about Jimmy's little brother. Clark realizing his emotional connections are what keeps him from doing his job effectively and relinquishing all ties from everyone he knows. Final Cut: If this wasn't the Finale all would have been fine, but it was and it didn't give the explosion needed. I keep mentioning throughout this review, the Doomsday battle was a huge letdown, I even wondered whether or not I missed out on a few minutes of the show. One minute Doomsday is punching Clark in slow motion and the next second Clark zooms Doomsday up into an explosion. The explosion wasn't even screened! The writers rushed this finale and the also rushed the relationship between Lois and The Red-Blue-Blur so much that I didn't even feel the connection between them. Erica Durance was way underused this season and her portrayal of Lois is beginning to lose its edge. This doesn't mean that the next season is out for me. I just hope that Season 9 ties up Season 8's loose ends... Lexa Read Full Review: _________________________________ Two and a Half out of Five Stars Grade D _________________________________ |
