[US. Series] Adventures Of Superboy, The: The Complete First Season [DVD Master][7 Disc][Soundtrack บรรยายไทย]
-
- Actors : John Haymes Newton, Stacey Haiduk, Stacy Haiduk, Jim Calvert
- Studio : Warner Home Video
- Run Time : 558 mins
- Synopsis : Produced by Alexander and Ilya Salkind; who revitalized Superman's movie career in the '70s with Christopher Reeve in the title role; the syndicated television series Superboy (1988-92) was a flawed but likable attempt to put a youthful spin on the Man of Steel by placing him in college and ridding Metropolis of crime between classes John Haymes Newton (the "Cable Guy" on Desperate Housewives) did a respectable job in both Clark Kent's oversized spectacles and in the cape and boots; and the series certainly made attempts to acknowledge its comic book origins by utilizing original characters; including Lana Lang (Stacy Haiduk); Lex Luthor (Scott Wells); and even villains like Mr. Mxyzptlk (a wonderfully eccentric performance by character actor Michael J. Pollard). Unfortunately; budget restraints and some woefully hackneyed scripts prevented the show from presenting Superboy's exploits in the grand style of the comics; and 20 years after its release; the first season is best appreciated as a camp exercise than a true action-adventure series. Still; there are some moments that approximate the high-flying style of the comics books ("The Alien Solution;" which pits Superboy against a belligerent invisible alien; and Pollard's turn in "Mr. Mxyzpltk"); and guest stars like a youthful Joaquin Phoenix (billed here as "Leaf Phoenix) in "Little Hercules" provide some interesting turns (though Leif Garrett's appearance as a wealthy rock star who catches Lana's eye in "Bringing Down the House" pushes things back into camp waters). The extras include a making-of featurette; which covers the series' conception and casting; and commentary by Newton (who gets the show's camp appeal) and Ilya Salkind (who doesn't) on two episodes; Newton's screen test and an excerpt from Ken Burns and Bryan Singer's Superman documentary; Look; Up in the Sky! The Amazing Story of Superman; round out the supplemental features. --Paul Gaita
