Katie, the answer to your "why" can be splitted in two: (1) shoes and (2) horizontal video stretch.
Katie says on 19/Mar/10
I dont understand Why but in this video Tom look a similarly tall as a Jared.
Click Here Hugh says on 19/Mar/10
I can't see any reason for Justin to say he is shorter than Tom but one: he is shorter than Tom (one or two cm as he said).
In fact I think he is 186 cm and Tom 187-188 cm. I still think nothing will tell us their precise height, we have to learn to live with this dreadful doubt. Patrick says on 18/Mar/10
Yes Vesper and the Eiffel Tower is taller than the ESB in NYork! One can say whatever one wants without mlaking that real! Justin is clearly shorter as he said it himself! Vesper says on 16/Mar/10
Justin is taller than Tom, Tom is max.187cm barefoot in my mind. Patrick says on 16/Mar/10
About the strange pic with Jared, is there anyone here who has, outside Daman and Yaspaa, the "slightest" notion of what "wide angle lens" means? Here we have what is called and "visibly" is an anamorphose. I compalin those who don't see it and keep driving their car or motorbike. Katie says on 16/Mar/10
I Agree with Rob statement. Tom is really tall man and in Smallville is taller than everyone else. And about Jared, almost everyone is smaller than him. I think he is 6'4- 6'5.
Justin really sometimes looks taller than Tom. But he could have bigger heels in that scenes.

Anonymous He isnt 6'3 shay shorter..My friend is 6'3 saw tom here in vancouver, shooting smallville..He was next to tom when we walked where all the production truck where on the side walk tom standing next to a crew member fiddling around with his phone. my friend stood next to tom for about min checking out the scene..buddy of mines where wearing sandles, tom looked a shay shorter then my friend..I'd 6'2'5 to 6'2'75 shay under. my friend is a full 6'3 known him for years..not quite 6'3, then I saw tom and micheal rosenbuam..when it was season 7, they where shooting at a church..I walked into a alley where all the production truck where.. rosenbuam and tom where standing outside. while tom was on the phone..yacking..i didnt take any picture..i just walked past them all the way to the alley..this was micheal last season which was season 7.. Hugh says on 16/Mar/10

If he is 6'3" barefoot he would be 6'5.5" wearing those boots. The heels are more than 2 inches. Anonymous says on 15/Mar/10
I'm reading arguments against Tom Welling vs. Jared Palelcki. I see those pix and I think Tom was supposed to kind of slump a little to sell the intimidation that is shown in the scene. in Smallville, on the other hand, he is supposed to look taller than everyone else (which he usually is). Justin Hartley himself admits that Tom is "bigger" than him (in a commentary: S7, E11: Siren). I personally think he's about 6-3, but that's because Superman is supposed to be 6-4 (Reeve) but that would be a stretch. And let's not forget, especially in the current season, Clark wears big boots as the Blur. That probably adds the needed height to match the 6-4. And in scenes with the 6-3 John Schneider, he's the exact same height (give or take a centimeter). Red says on 11/Mar/10
Think Tom is a strong 6ft1.5inch man and not over this. Yaspaa says on 10/Mar/10
Yes we've come full circle......again. supermanfan380 says on 8/Mar/10
We do not know who is close to the camera. I am not arguing that Tom is as Tall as Jared, who I think is 6'4", I just do not think willing is under 6'2", and it looks like Jared is still closer to the camera.
Either that or the camera guys on SV have done the worlds best job at making Welling look tall as heck. He is always the tallest man in any frame, towering over the other actors. Likely he is both 6'2", and in good sized boots, and in perspective that favors his height.
Which is what it should be for Superman. Later on making the Clark identity work should be a challenge, not come easy. Its like a Mythic Demigod having to work hard to pass as human. Yaspaa says on 8/Mar/10
The second pic looks less. No idea about Jared's shoes, so another moot point really. Hugh says on 7/Mar/10
what shoes for jared? In those pictures their height difference is 6 cm at least. Yaspaa says on 6/Mar/10
Yeah and as we all know Jared only has a four gallon head. ;) Yaspaa says on 5/Mar/10
Smallville season 10 confirmed, I reckon in this season his true height will be revealed as an extra on the blu-ray set. supermanfan380 says on 4/Mar/10
John,
The camera used in that photo is also the type that makes things closer to it look much bigger.
If that in anyway represented the real difference, then Jared has a head the size of a 5 gallon bucket. Yaspaa says on 4/Mar/10
Not really, Tom is leaning back, if anything that shot is in Tom's favour. Hugh says on 4/Mar/10
John that's not the best picture to evaluate heights. We already discussed about that picture some months ago (even if I don't find those posts).
Jared compared to Tom is 2 - 2.5" inches taller, looking at lots of pictures. John says on 3/Mar/10
if Tom is 6'2'' or 6'3'' then Jared is 6'6'' easy
Click Here Yaspaa says on 2/Mar/10
You should see some of the armspans on this site, 6'7 is nothing. John says on 1/Mar/10
Phelps has 6'7'' arm span... He has measures that gives him a lot of advantages swimming. Tom has a proportional body. Yaspaa says on 28/Feb/10
The point is tall people can have shorter inseams, so it's pointless. Hugh says on 27/Feb/10
Yaspaa Phelps has very short legs, it's a well known fact... And it's not clear whether he is 6'3" or 6'4" till today. Yaspaa says on 26/Feb/10
No he didn't, and we've had plenty of pics up to prove that. twins says on 25/Feb/10
Ive always thought Tom was 6'1. Jared Palelcki had 3 inches on him in that movie Yaspaa says on 25/Feb/10
6'4 Michael Phelps buys 32" inseam. Bohm says on 25/Feb/10
male models and their inseams.
Arguably though msot of them are lying about their height :p.
In fact that's the best way to tell if a model or actor is lying about their height. you check their inseam and then look at their proportions. Bohm says on 25/Feb/10

Click Here male models and their inseams. Bohm says on 25/Feb/10
In modelling terms 33" is normal for a 6 ish guy, keep in mind it depends on how you're wearing the pants.
I'm just trying to put things in perspective, if he's 6'2.5 he has short legs. Make of that what you will. Bohm says on 25/Feb/10
He used to be a model. Hugh says on 25/Feb/10
Bohm how do you know his exact inseam?
Anyway torso length can vary regardless of legs. Yaspaa says on 25/Feb/10
Hugh the arguement you make goes both ways. The last picure demonstrates boxes being used, The photo with Callum Blue he is wearing plimsolls. Now if he is 6'1 that means Callum Blue is 5'11 which means Chris Pine is 5'11. But we know Chris Pine is a strong 6'0. Also if he is 6'1 that makes Padalecki 6'3 or under, which he can't be.
Bohm, who are you, his tailer? 33" is more like 5'11-6'0 guy anyway. Bohm says on 25/Feb/10
He has a 33 inch inseam which is 6'1 guy leg. Hugh says on 24/Feb/10
Yaspaa in those last picures we don't see their feet. They can be on boxes, on big heels, or barefoot, we just don't know.
What we know is based on other pictures, videos, or on what people told.
John is not the first guy telling us he met Tom and he seemed to be 6'1" or 6'2". Yaspaa says on 24/Feb/10
They put people on boxes all the time to even shots out. Click Here Tom only looks 6'0 with Michael but looks 6'2 easy with strong 6'0 Callum Blue posted on the 5th.
Then we have this classic picture of Tom and Michael with Tom looking 2" taller tilting his head forward, Tom straightens his head we have 3".
Click Here John says on 23/Feb/10
I don't think Michael is standing on anything.
When Batman Begins was just released I search for Christian Bale height and in all websites he was listed as 6'2''. Now we know that he is almost 6'.
It's commun increase their heights when a person play as a Super Heroe. Hugh says on 23/Feb/10
Michael bended down because Tom hitted him with his left elbow. Hugh says on 23/Feb/10
So Yaspaa, how do you know about the box? Yaspaa says on 23/Feb/10
That would defeat the object wouldn't it. Hugh says on 22/Feb/10
Yaspaa i don't see any box. Do you? Yaspaa says on 22/Feb/10
John, michael is standing on a box to even the shot out, hence the bending down joke. John says on 19/Feb/10
He's 6'1... 1.85 cm
I met him in Wichita last year and we have the same height and almost the same weight. My weight is 200 lbs. Maybe he looks 1 or 2 cm taller because I'm bald and he has much hair.
In this day I was using my boots that gave me more 3 cm and Tom was using similar boots.
In this video he looks 1 or 2 inches taller than Michael (5'11'') Yaspaa says on 17/Feb/10
We new his super boots were large, but they make him 2" taller than Justin. Hugh says on 15/Feb/10
those boots' heels are at least 6 or 7 cm thick. Click Here Sid says on 15/Feb/10
Heres Tom welling at the olympics yesterday.. Click Here people try to estimate his height and its recents, he's just wearing van type of shoes which probably gives of 05 Yaspaa says on 10/Feb/10
Yeah, I enjoyed it. Dr. fate with his chubby gut was hilarious. In one scene, Tom (in his super boots) looked about 4" taller than Shanks. Da Man says on 9/Feb/10
I thought the TV movie was pretty good, what did you think Yaspaa? Yaspaa says on 6/Feb/10
I didn't know Michael Shanks was in Smallville, got to go I'm only ten minutes in to the two parter. Yaspaa says on 6/Feb/10
A very polite question, It's from an older debate when Tom was fighting Heyerdahl in Smallville. Anu says on 6/Feb/10
Excuse me, Yaspaa, but what does that picture with Heyerdahl and Joe Flannigan have with Tom's height? Yaspaa says on 5/Feb/10
Here is a screencap of Heyerdahl with Joe Flannigan from Stargate Atlantis, Joe is on here close to 6'0 and heyerdahl looks much taller. Click Here Yaspaa says on 5/Feb/10
Tom is taller than Callum Blue. Click Here Patrick says on 5/Feb/10
DaMan, I was just refering to "the old episodes" of the past seasons, at the time of Lex! Don't forget i am in France, "a man from the past"!
It was then very rare, to see Justin as tall as Tom.
I tahnk you for the very trustworthy and accurate opinion you gave to me about "directing". That doesn't surprise me alas! Thanks again! Da Man says on 4/Feb/10
Tom doesn't always look taller than Justin, sometimes he does indeed look shorter (and vice versa). Patrick, the directing typically leaves much to be desired. After watching shows like Chuck, Fringe, Dexter, etc. and going back to Smallville makes the poor direction painfully obvious. Patrick says on 4/Feb/10
What Morgan Edge: there were "two" of them! One was about 6'1 and Tom was huge next to him, including in many pictures "off" shooting, and the other was 6'3 minimum and there are NO ONE shot showing them close to each other.
As for Justin, Tom always looked taller, sorry, and so claimed Justin himself! Hugh says on 4/Feb/10
Anu what do you mean telling us "that guy who played Morgan Edge"? Morgan Edge has been played by two distinct actors in Smallville: Rutger Hauer(6 ft) and Patrick Bergin (6 ft 3 in).
I agree with you about Justin Hartley and Callum blue. Anu says on 3/Feb/10
Justin Hartley seems so often taller than Tom. And Tom doesn't even look that much taller than Callum Blue. Am I wrong to pressume to think that TW's like 6'1? Tw wasn't even taller than that guy who played Morgan Edge Patrick says on 2/Feb/10
What about the "directing", the quality of the show now guys?
I feel so sad in thinking of how i was eager to watch my favorite show, not that long ago. The fact is that comes back to almost ten years now! Wow!
Does Tom look the same and about the same height or no?
Thanks for replying fellas. Yaspaa says on 30/Jan/10
Looks like there's light at the end of the tunnel Patrick. Patrick says on 28/Jan/10
DaMan...You make my day! Da Man says on 26/Jan/10
I am really starting to wonder if Smallville producers are reading this board, lol. It looks like Annette O'Toole just signed a deal to come back to Smallville later this season. So Ma Kent is finally coming back to Smallville, better late than never. Da Man says on 26/Jan/10

@Paul & Yaspaa
I can almost scratch my knee but still have to bend a little bit.
And my arms are long (80 inches my armspan, 73 inches my height). Well, my shoulders are really wide too... Yaspaa says on 20/Jan/10
I don't believe that. Paul says on 20/Jan/10
@Yaspaa
Well, is it really normal to be able to scrath your knee while bending? :p I got pretty long arms but I can't scratch my knee without bending. hmmm says on 20/Jan/10
i dont think anything is wrong with that armspan billy....im close to 5'11"(71 inches) and i have an armspan of 6'5"(77)..... Patrick says on 14/Jan/10
Yaspaa, one year ago, I would have been run away with enthusiasm with such a news (10th season). It more and more sounds Superboy will get older than Superman will ever be, as a caterpillar never turning into a butterfly...a 6'3 one! Yaspaa says on 12/Jan/10
I've read things are looking promising for a tenth season.
Happy new year to you Patrick and to the guys. Billy that's a perfectly fine arm span, it just means you can't scratch you knee without bending. Patrick says on 4/Jan/10
HAPPY NEW YEAR FOLKS! billy says on 2/Jan/10
Funny i have only a armspann of 75inch and i`m exactly 6ft2inch tall.Yeah, think Tom is a strong 6ft2.5inch man. Patrick says on 30/Dec/09
My last comment flopped (sigh!) Da Man says on 27/Dec/09
Kane wore combat boots in Smallville, not custom Munsters like Batista. Yaspaa says on 27/Dec/09
Kane had special boots though, didn't he? sid says on 26/Dec/09
Da Man Nothing everything has to be presices.... right...kane shoe size is around 16 to 17 I'd say..Tom welling shoes in smallville are 14 kane appeared on smallville he shoes looked huge next to tom's size 14.. Hugh says on 24/Dec/09
More likely 189.3cm Yaspaa.. Patrick says on 24/Dec/09
I still am sure Tom is no less than 191 cm but...who really cares?
I see things as such as they are dear Yaspaa and "see" how a film is made as naturally as you breathe.
I appreciate directors as Kubrick, Ford, Hitchcock or Hawks and can explain “why”.
I can assure you that just in watching the former SV, even you can immediately make the difference regarding quality of shooting.
Besides, I “have to” notice how far they go from the reality of the myth because if I don’t, what’s the point taking an existing hero?
Why not to create a new one?
The same about the awful Mission Impossible adaptation with a ridiculous Tom Cruise instead of the awesome TV team or Wild Wild West.
Superman happens furthermore to be the greatest for the reasons I expounded here many times.
There is deepness in him and while Batman still is a fabulous and fascinating character, he is human whereas Superman is “super human” while also a human being.
Dimension of characters make always the difference and here is why Hamlet or El Cid endure throughout centuries and will last ever after many modern characters will have died and be forgotten!
The same for actors, whether you like them or not, some of them are far greater and bigger than their own lives or their talent.
Not everyone is “destined” to become a myth, fictional or real.
Tom is a jewel in what he has everything from his look to his face and body structure and in what everyone can read immediately in his eyes, A man and something else that all the Brad Pitt and George Clownesque will ever have.
Michael and John Glover were also magnified by their respective parts.
Yaspaa, Smallville owes Tom most of what it is and this one deserves a treatment thereof.
I don’t despise nor spit on the new show; I just say it is not what it used to be.
Newness for newness is never a quality in itself. Renew something doesn’t imply to betray the past. Betray is certainly too harsh here but you have got what I mean.
Thereupon, I wish you all a Merry Christmas! Yaspaa says on 24/Dec/09
Patrick, I must admit, I know nothing about photography, cinematogrophy, all the movie ographies in fact, so as long as the camera man isn't drunk I don't notice. To enjoy Smallville now you have to watch it, in the moment, and not for the legacy it is supposed to represent. I love how Arrow has all the cash and resources, but Tom is still the boss. So much power packed in an erm, 189.4cm frame. Patrick says on 23/Dec/09
Thanks again for being so close to my comments. I do appreciate!
I agree with how you see the evolution of Clark as it was supposed to be in Smalville and I understand your viewpoint.
I don’t know about Lois and Clark but that’s too “obvious” to me (insofar I could see) and above all, too off the “real” mythology of Superman.
You forget a dimension of that mythology: the terrible dilemma of a man having to renounce by pure abnegation a normal and loving life just to be able to do “his” job: saving the world as much as possible.
That’s being up to what “gods” gave to him.
Don’t forget there is a messianic dimension given to this fabulous character created by people who are just still waiting for their own messiah.
Superman is great also and perhaps mainly for the strength he has to show in always overcome the desire of using his gods powers just for him, if only “once”.
Any other man however good he could be would fail, sometime.
If Clark “loves” Lois, where are the crucial point of his own fight?
He just becomes “normal” outside the fact never ever Clark had any romance with her but in the very bad Superman II.
This character is first and foremost “noble” beyond what is possible to imagine.
That’s what was so well done in the misunderstood and underrated Superman returns.
Clarks has to “strive in order to thrive” as the unique hero he is, by design.
You very well know that this romance is caused by “kind of viewers expectations” as it was in the fourth season.
The fact the chemistry works is due to the actors, not to the producers.
Don’t forget they have manipulated the story far beyond what had been done even in Lois and Clark!
Clark is maybe a producer among others and good for him.
If so, he’s partially responsible for that but I don’t think he has this power in the show. “Producer” has many “labels”.
I repeat, Superman is an absolute as in Europe Tintin is and nobody can’t change that without destroying all what he stands for.
Too many super heroes diminish super heroes and too human aspects do the same.
They might as well create another new hero rather than transforming him.
I repeat that is more “the way” they film the whole thing that as real movie and Tv show amateur, I dislike.
Cinematographically speaking, it’s really poor while it was the only TV show with a “cinema” touch beforehand.
I hope you are able to “get” what I try to mean fellows!
Sorry Ed Rob for being quite away from “height” topic. I deal here with “grandeur” of the character!
Thanks for reading and Merry Christmas my friends! Da Man says on 23/Dec/09
I agree with a lot of what you said, Patrick. The family feel of Smallville is definitely gone, and certain missing characters/actors are extremely hard to overlook.
Like I said I see both good and bad in the new direction. I like what they've done with Clark, I've been wanting to see the guy man up and take a stance for years and he finally seems to be doing it. The show, first and foremost, is about Clark's journey to becoming Superman, or in my view it should be.
The budget cuts are indeed obvious. I agree with Yaspaa that Tom and Lois have great chemistry, and I enjoy their banter more often than not. Yaspaa says on 22/Dec/09
I'm really enjoying the new show Patrick, I love Lois, and Tom and Lois have a really good chemistry which I'm digging. I like his new more forceful attitude, 'bout time. I love the super hero variety thing as well, it stops things from getting stale, which is the same reason I always preferred X-Men and the Justice league. I'm sorry you're so indignant toward the new format Patrick, stick with it, it may surprise you, who knows.
Hugh, I've noticed that a lot of stars end up being producers after a good few seasons, looks like Smallville is no different.
DM, sorry, I thought you knew him better, I'll not bring him up every time he fights lol. Hugh says on 22/Dec/09
Tom Welling is one of the current producers.. Patrick says on 22/Dec/09
Guys, thanks for responding and I agree with you Yaspaa.
DaMan, I think my English proves to be too poor to really evoke what I feel about Smallville. It never was to me, a real “superman” story amongst others.
Smallville had an identity full of humanity and warmness, a charm, lightness very refreshing with also great noble moments.
Remember all what brought John Glover and precisely Annette O’Toole!
Not to mention Michael Rosenbaum and John Schneider.
Now, it is dark and people more and more clearly defined.
It’s neither Clark-almost Superboy nor Superman, kind of “neither flesh nor fish”.
Now, it’s “another super heroes” series with very predictable and talkative characters.
I don’t need it.
Superman is a hero of light whatever do new so-called authors of the current comic books.
I’m certainly too old now but what I see in them now looks ridiculous and very badly drawn. Who has ever read superman from the late 60ies to the early eighties can understand what I mean.
As for Smallville, it was the only “colored” series since Star Trek (1966). Not any more, to think to endow appearance of seriousness and pseudo solemnity, they have to look “grave” and dark and talk which cost much less money than showing people in action!
Frankly, the new bad kryptonian is “bad” and as worrying as my president when he is showing off, namely…all the time.
Did you not notice that Clark was seen few and far between far more than “before”?
You know what, before it was a family you were a part of and now, just people seeming strangers to each other.
As for Lois…don’t tell me you prefer the new one!
It’s simply fake and not really done for another reason to prolong the rare show which is profitable to CW. The wish to make something original and “true” has gone with the former producers. I feel it and remember that I was the biggest fan or the show ever!
Regarding Justin and Tom’s height, I agree with you because it’s practically impossible to properly gauge a size from what we see on screen.
In an old French movie I was watching the other day, two actors, on the same floor, were in turn very significantly taller and smaller than the other depending on one going from the left to right of the screen. Same apparent angle and it was just incredible.
Optics is the most deceptive thing ever. Da Man says on 22/Dec/09
I like some aspects of the new season, but in other ways I feel it has been cheapened. But then again I got really, really tired of the old Smallville's Kryptonite "freak of the week", humanizing of comic characters (like Mxyzpltlk) and stagnant character development. How many seasons was Clark almost completely static as a character? I think the current direction Smallville is taking is more "comic book like". I just wish they would bring Martha and Lex back every once in a while, I think the show would be better for it. I'm actually looking forward to the 2 hour episode they have planned for Jan.
I'm really surprised you didn't appreciate Clark's new attitude, Patrick. Very little emo brooding anymore, which was never like Superman.
I have most of these episodes and DVR and can pause them frame by frame or play them in slow motion, and Tom and Justin's height definitely vary. There are some scenes where Tom is clearly taller than Justin and vice versa. They are close enough that footwear and posture can give either one the edge. I'd say they are most likely within 1/2", but in Tom's favor. Yaspaa says on 20/Dec/09
Patrick, I think if you don't like it after a few episodes, you probably won't like it at all. Hugh says on 20/Dec/09
@AAAA: LOL my wingspan is the same 80 inches, but I'm about 1 inch shorter than you. 12.5 inches my fist (don't know for what it's worth). Hugh says on 20/Dec/09
Thank you Yaspaa, Merry Christmas to you too, and Merry Christmas to everyone here! Infoehmmm says on 18/Dec/09
gli studi dicono che i piedi sono lunghi circa il 15 % di una persona... questo e quello che dicono gli studi, io sono europeo e almeno qui questa correlazione viene rispetta, esempio 180 cm tall man , have size 43-44, 185 cm tall man 44-45 190 cm tall man 45-46 ... depens.... in usa most people is in obesity or overweight, questo potrebbe causare un'allargamento della lunghezza dei piedi, in effetti l'america la media di shoe size piu alta nel mondo, average shoe size in america is 10-10,5 usa , netherland people is the tallest in the world and have average shoe size half size smallest that usa average... Infoehmmm says on 18/Dec/09
@hugh, or you have wgrond measure the foot, or you use different scale shoe size, for a brannock decive and other size conversion table.. foot lenght 29,8 is minimiun shoe size 13 usa (47 2/3 eu) and max size 14 (49 eu) ..., foot lenght 29,5 cm is size 13, foot lenght 30,2 cm is size 14... depends for varius brand ... Patrick says on 18/Dec/09
DaMan and Yaspaa, you didn't comment my 24 nov comment. I yet would have considerated just a tad "more interesting" than" shoes sizes considerations"! No offense guys! AAAA says on 18/Dec/09
I'm 6'2 (6'2.5 outta bed, 6'1.75 at night) and I have a size 13 foot. I just turned 23 so I am pretty sure I am done growing. I do have big hands and a massive wingspan for my height, if that makes any difference.
My wingspan is 6'8...80inches (I can almost touch my knees standing straight)
My hands measure 13.25 inches around when my fist is closed.
Not sure if that matters, but my build isn't average(e.g. the average build would be 74 wing span) Lenad says on 16/Dec/09
So maybe a solid 190cm out of bed is a reasonable comprimise Rob? Da Man says on 15/Dec/09
I wouldn't call Belcher my buddy or anything, we have a friend in common and I've met him a few times. Hugh says on 15/Dec/09
@infohmmm you are wrong.
My foot length is 29.8 cm and my footwears are always 11 or 12 max. EU size is 45 or 46.
Nothing more (too big shoes) nothing less (too small-hurting shoes).
Oh, my height is 186. Yaspaa says on 14/Dec/09
DM, your mate had a good fight on Saturday, but his hair and shorts were atrocious, lol. Da Man says on 11/Dec/09
That's funny, I wear a size 14 US (size 13 UK), and everybody I know i the 6'2+ range don't wear anything smaller than a 12 (most are 13). Your foot size correlations are off.
And LOL at Kane wearing a size 14. infohmmm says on 7/Dec/09
@anonymus , you are wrong and very overstimate correlations shoe size/height, average shoe size for a 6 feet 2-3 inches tall man is 11 to 12 not more... average height for a shoe size 14 is minimiun 6 feet 6 inches , foot lenght is approx 15 % of total stature, the foot lenght for fit shoe size 14 is 30 to 30,5 cm. 30 divide by 15 = 200 cm tall... Yaspaa says on 6/Dec/09
Are canadian shoe sizes the same as american? Infoeheh says on 6/Dec/09
Another example sultan koisen the tall man in the world is 246 cm, and even the feet the world's longest (37 cm) 37 cm divided by 15 = 246.67 cm ... the method works almost always, I did not invent this calculation has been studied by anthropologists and scientists, and have found this relationship between foot length and height, of course, can sometimes be inaccurate as in the case of Tom wellling, but is usually very accurate so much so that they use the forensic scientists to discover the stature of a person start from footprints Infoeheh says on 6/Dec/09
foot lenght is approx 15% lenght of total stature
5 feet 10 inches man is 10 usa
normal shoe size for 6 feet man is 10-11 usa

Various studies prove it, obviously there can be no Exceptions, such as age (teenage) the weight, Americans are overweight or obese (feet get longer if they are subjected from childhood / adolescent overweight or obesity), bone structure who has a great bone structure could have feet longer than expected, Tom Welling seems to have a massive bone structure ... and giant ... gigantism may cause a disproportion between height and foot length, since the hands and feet grow very much if someone suffers from gigantism .. Infoeheh says on 6/Dec/09
you're wrong. shoe size 14 is huge for a tall man 6 feet 2 inches, first of all Kane's shoe size 16-17, which would be very big for him as 202 cm tall, Kane and underteker have a size 14 shoe, Search on Google and you'll see that Anonymous says on 5/Dec/09
Infoeheh Bull, my buddy he' 5'7 he has size 14 feet, 14 is normal for 6'2 to 6'3, kane has size 16 17, big show 18 normal for tom welling...i'm 5'10 i have size 10 to 11 feet..so your underestimating tom's shoe size or feet. Infoeheh says on 5/Dec/09
Tom Welling shoes seem freakish XD, Tom Welling have size 14 shoe, very big for one guy 189 cm tall, average size for shoe size 14, is 6 feet tall and over 7 ...
but it must be said that Tom Welling seems to have great bone structure, maybe this is the cause of the disproportionate foot size / hegiht, proportionated shoe size for one person of size to use Tom Welling is 11-12 max Yaspaa says on 1/Dec/09
Two years posting, Whoopah! Da Man says on 1/Dec/09
Michael Shanks said, "The show's a lot of fun, everybody's really great. Tom Welling's really tall, which I didn't know, he's like 6'3". And I'm supposed to be intimidating him? Yeah, good luck on that one!"
Shanks is about 6'0", BTW. BackStageJim says on 30/Nov/09
An actor from Stargate noted that he is 6'1 and had to look up at Tom for eye contact. He guess Tom at 6'3 without much effort. Add any books, and the femals co-stars are all on apple boxs for any face2face shot. Yaspaa says on 27/Nov/09
Trevor,quibbling over an inch? So what are you,6'3?......10+10,whats that 19. It's like nuggetville here today. Yaspaa says on 25/Nov/09
Ah,they are the Wonder twins DM, thanks,I thought you were'nt talking to me. :D Yaspaa says on 25/Nov/09
Katie,you don't know why we talk about Smallville here???? It is a height site but each page has it's own little community,the site would be very limited if someone like,say me,couldn't call you nugget,you nugget. Trevor says on 25/Nov/09
I for one just find it extremly funny you people here, and not just here but on alot of celebrity heights profiles sit there and quibble over 1" or 0.5" of a inch..people dont walk around barefoot this is not the sotne ages, sneaker soles add about almost a inch to a persons height and heels do even more for girls. When he wa son Regis or whatever he said he is 6'3" since they asked how tall he was (right then) and he had shoes on. So yes he is probably about 6'2 or so standing barefoot so why post trying to argue milimetres. Unless you see him at the pool or beach when he is barefoot and you yourself are around 6'2 barefoot then judge his height and post it here, until then give it a rest. Im 6'4.5 barefoot and I used to watch them film Smallvile in Colverdale back in 2001 and he looked a solid 6'3 about while filming and when he signed my autograph standing right next to me. Patrick says on 24/Nov/09
DaMan, I am talkink about the current aired episodes. I watched one with Zod and (who the hell decided to hire the yat good Julian Sand to embody Jor-El?) Zod on Kandor and Justin lost and another where that is Lois who’s lost in kind of future which is subtly painted in red to well make us understand it’s both future and Kryptonian (here, I am mocking!).
I watched parts of others taped by my niece but I couldn’t get to the end (bitter end!).
I don’t want to disgust nor put you off watching a show I was dead fond of but I can’t help being impartial and honest. New producers are just money makers at the lower cost, the one of “talent”. I am positively sure that if “you” watch now, episodes of “the good old time” as the third sesaon, you will be able to see what I mean.
But DaMan, what do you think about the Tom’s height as such as I talked about?
I really used the freezing process to confirm my fist impressions (you know, thanks to the electronic cable “thing”!) and that proves to be a very efficient way to evaluate what is the (only) topic which wouold be established here if I go by what says Katie.
Katie, what do you want us to do? Endlessly saying : I think Tom is 6’2 because isaw him so here or he is 6’3 because “I” saw him so until cows come home?
This “height topic” is a wonderful pretext to extend the debate beyond it. What ore else would this so interesting site would have become? Katie says on 23/Nov/09
I dont understand why you talking about smallville there. Screens from episode are alright but talking about plots? Come one, there are many forums for that kind of conversations. Da Man says on 23/Nov/09
What episodes did you see Patrick? The last two seasons have been...inconsistent to say the least. Smallville has been on a bit of a roll for the last 3 episodes or so, which may or may not continue. Patrick says on 22/Nov/09
Ok, I watched two episodes of the ninth season and I don’t dare to tell you my opinion.
Do I need to make myself clear Yaspaa? Let’s say to be polite, that is definitely not the same show. No lightness, no humour, Chloé nailed before her PC and Clark “blowing in”. Talk, talk and talk and all soooo serious. We are no more familiar with the characters and frankly…Zod…where did they dig this pale actor up? Where are the “faces” every character even “secondary” had in the show? He’s so common! Not expensive for sure! Lex Rosenbaum, Lionel Glover, Anette and John(athan) Kent are far away, on a mastered matured great series world!
As for the height, Tom always looks taller, whether it’s in “civil” clothes as when doning his ridiculous (that’s Justin Queen who says it!) costume. I had the possibility to freeze and go backwards as much as I wanted and even to tape it. I checked it out and asked people who didn’t follow the show and didn’t even know Tom: all said that this guy was by far the tallest and wondered why I asked it!
To finish: the new Erica Lane look. That beats all the rest! Under the pretext of sticking colser to the Lois Lane brunette image, they have succeeded in make her loose all what made her lithe dashing and glittering personality! She turned banal and almost tasteless.
Oh, one last real world: I learned “they” had killed Jimmy for long. Why not? They feel entitled to create a romance between the “young” Clark with Lois! No holds barred!
No hard feelings DaMan and Yaspaa!. Da Man says on 22/Nov/09
They are really the wonder twins. I actually thought Hartley looked a touch taller than Tom in a few shots from the last episode, with both of them in "streets". Yaspaa says on 21/Nov/09
I forgot to mention,another damn fine episode this week. Yaspaa says on 21/Nov/09
Here is a shot, similar to the Heyerdahl pic, we know the guy who plays Zod is a very strong six footer but looks about the same as Tom.(Tom isn't lifting him) This just shows that they can make people look (within reason) as tall as they want. Click Here And no! Tom hasn't been eating the pies,it's just his coat. Yaspaa says on 21/Nov/09
Tom is looking taller than Justin in the new episode in his normal gear. Da Man says on 20/Nov/09
4th or 5th time is the charm: yes they are really called the wonder twins. Yaspaa says on 16/Nov/09
Are they really the wonder twins or is that just what you are calling them? Da Man says on 15/Nov/09
Yep, pretty good episode. The "Blur's" conversation with the Wonder Twins at the end WAS Superman. Yaspaa says on 14/Nov/09
Loved this weeks episode,uplifting and really sweet,aahhhh bless. Yaspaa says on 11/Nov/09
Smallville is getting a two part episode being put out as a tv movie about the forming of some super team,there isn't much more info given. Yaspaa says on 11/Nov/09
The guy to the right of Tom is the guy who plays Zod in the new season and he is a solid six footer. Hugh says on 11/Nov/09
I think it's your opinion on those facts, Patrick, just that.
Otherwise we have to coin "Patrick facts"... LOL Patrick says on 10/Nov/09
In the third picture Yaspaa gave us where Heyerdahl raises his hand to touch Tom’s face, Tom looks even taller as I saw him when watching the show, not to mention the heels advantage. Hugh, Tom looks a second shorter as if he was falling because he is under the influence of Zorel and is bending his legs as someone who gets a hit.
The rest of the time he looks at least as tall and even taller than Heyerdahl.
That’s a fact, not an opinion.
Yaspaa, who are the people around Tom on the last pic? Yaspaa says on 9/Nov/09
I see John Schneider was in the new episode of Curb your Enthusiasm as a Ménage à trois seeking dude. :D Yaspaa says on 8/Nov/09
I'll put this one up again. Click Here Da Man says on 7/Nov/09
FWIW, Rob has a pic with Heyerdahl and has him listed at 6'3", and based on the pic that looks a bit generous. Da Man says on 7/Nov/09
It's impossible to tell anything from that clip. Heyerdahl could be 1-2" taller or they could be the same height. Yaspaa says on 7/Nov/09
Plus the ground is isn't level. Hugh says on 6/Nov/09
I saw it yesterday on youtube a scene with Tom. Chirtopher was 1.5" 2" inches taller. Click Here and go to 3:10. In 4:00 Christopher lifts Tom up and holds him with the hands on his eyeline, then he lays him down (1.5" 2").
I know you can tell about boxes or other stuffs, but the whole clip makes Tom shorter, even if they are completely (head2shoes) in the picture. Patrick says on 6/Nov/09
Christopher Heyerdahl has NO two inches on Tom in that now "old" episode I watched two years ago or so. Now, if you have seen him recently, i cannot judge but int that one, he was not taller and i "proved it" a few moths ago right here. That doesn't mean he is not taller but that cannot be said after the 2007 episode. Hugh says on 6/Nov/09
Just because something is against your theory Patrick? Strange approach to the truth. Make your guess on those picture and clips instead of a useless "No comment" which is not a real no comment. Patrick says on 5/Nov/09
Why not 6'? No, better: Tom is about 5'7 and with angles and one foot lifts he appears as he does in the show for years. I think that reason is getting away from this site sometimes! No comment. sid says on 5/Nov/09
Hugh Chris heyerdahl is 6'4, he looked 2 inches on tom, take a inch of his 6'3, so tom max could be 6'2 to 6'2'5, maybe 1'5 inches off the boot Hugh says on 5/Nov/09
I saw Christopher Heyerdahl, and the Blue episode, where he is next to Tom. Christopher Heyerdahl is about 2 inches taller than Tom. This looks odd. Christopher Heyerdahl doesn't look 6'3" next to Rob, he looks more like 6'2". If and only if he is bending his legs next to Rob, Christopher Heyerdahl is 6'3" (this would make Tom 6'1" max). If and only if Christopher Heyerdahl had 1 inch shoes advantage on Tom (and this would be odd because Tom has thick sole boots in Blue scenes next to him, making me think they have similar sole thickness) Tom would be 6'2" max (otherwise 6'1" max). Patrick says on 3/Nov/09
DaMan, Yaspaa, thanks a lot for replying so accurately and I have more and more a better sight of what’s going on Smallville.
Regarding their respective heights, they do what the other “Superman” producers never did: mark the difference between the normal guy and his super hero face.
When I used to read Superman, I always was amazed they, Lois, Jimmy, Perry etc. didn’t seem to notice how big and tall was the shy and suave Clark!
Actually, they enhance in the show the hero while giving a human look to their civilian alter ego.
I nevertheless am quite sure Hartley is shorter and that Tom is 6’3.
Maybe, someday, will we have the actual confirmation of our respective opinions?
I really guess the Smallville crew is reading us DaMan!
Who knows?
Anyway, if Tom or Justin ever do it, they really must get a good laugh!
I still keep thinking darkness is an error for young Superman who always, but under some Kryptonite effect, a light being.
His primary colors outfit has something of “ultimate” when Superman. Da Man says on 1/Nov/09
Carwin stands a decent chance, but I honestly don't believe he has anything close to Lesnar's power or speed. Their backgrounds do match up pretty well though. You never know in MMA, but the way all my friends hate Lesnar I hope he slaughters Carwin.
Hartley and Welling have to be very close in height, I don't buy the old "1 inch taller" claims from Hartley. Yaspaa says on 31/Oct/09
Parts of the new episode had a 'Pretty Woman' vibe. Yaspaa says on 31/Oct/09
Episode 6 is another fun episode,chicks are far too tough as usual but there is a great Superman-ny scene. It looks like Chloe is starting to find her place as well. Keep it guys. Yaspaa says on 31/Oct/09
Shogun's tactics worked great,when Machida did his charge thing,Shogun was ready with the mid kick and did visible damage.I wasn't used with seeing Machida take damage like that,neither guy really tried to win the fight though. I'm gutted the Brock fight has been postponed as well,I want to see how Carwin stands up physically to Lesnar.
When Arrow wears his boots he is noticeably taller than Tom in shoes and vice versa,they must be just very similar in height. bye guys. Da Man says on 31/Oct/09
Yaspaa, I really expected Machida to own Shogun like he did Rashad. Machida is awesome, one of the best fighters ever in the UFC. I didn't see the last fight with Shogun, but there's a lot of people crying foul. I've read a couple reviews of the fight, and it sounds like it was a technical draw even though the decision didn't go that way.
Patrick, the last couple episodes they have really lightened up on the dark green/gray cinematography. It makes me wonder if some Smallville people are reading the board. :) Last nights episode was pretty good, Welling seems in his element when he isn't brooding, he and Erica Durance play really well off of each other.
I'd say when Welling is at the Daily Planet he looks to be in the 6'2" range, when he's doing the Superboy thing he looks to be over 6'3". His old farm outfit seemed to split the difference, IMO. I'm assuming the dress shoes don't give quite the height boost his Redbacks did, and the motorcycle boots give more. Da Man says on 30/Oct/09
I think Tom looks a bit shorter than the old days in his Daily Planet attire, and a bit taller in the Matrix outfit. There are times where Hartley looks the same height and sporadically taller when Tom is in the shirt and tie. Tom looks consistently and obviously taller than Justin when he's in the Neo get up. Patrick says on 30/Oct/09
Very interesting comments fellows! Above all for me! I'll be in NYC in one week and shall be able to tell you how "I" see things. DaMan's comment sounds just brilliant and I “feel” what he means. I nevertheless regret the so “Smallville” atmosphere from the Lex time. It used to be a very “1966 star trek like” show regarding photography (cinematography) and colors.
The dark green black and smoky light are now as common in strange or sci-fi series as muddy brown is for pseudo current westerns. Sid, I appreciate your comment too.
Superman is a “light hero” contrary to the Batman. I think yet that I’ll miss real adults in the show. Lex and above all his fabulous father brought something indispensable to any kind of show. Fortunately Clark is embodied by Tom!
How tall does he appear now next to the others? If they have insisted on making him looking taller (while I remember you saying exactly the contrary a while ago!) it can be anything but to grant him a super hero standard. What do you think? I feel like a blind man wishing being told stories he will never be able to watch! Da Man says on 29/Oct/09
Not for the first couple episodes, Sid. Patrick says on 29/Oct/09

Da Man This clark thinks he still is human, he's goona hook up with lois stil cares, yet i havn't seen much of his kryptonian side, more human side. Da Man says on 28/Oct/09
Last comment never got posted.
I think the current Matrix-lite Clark is Smallville's interpretation of Superboy. He turned his back on humanity, adopted the House of El shield and ditched the red and blue for a more Kryptonian color scheme.
I believe the producer's intent is that when Clark finally finds the right balance of Clark and Kal-El, the shield will finally merge with the red and blue and he'll finally be Superman.
Clark looks to get a noticeable height boost from his new boots. Yaspaa says on 27/Oct/09
Well you wait for one comment then half a dozen pop up at once..MachiDa. Yaspaa says on 26/Oct/09
Machita is my hero but godammit he lost. Yaspaa says on 26/Oct/09
Sorry if this message comes up twice.
Patrick I was just trying to bait Hugh into a arguementative debate...sorry Hugh. yes Patrick,I did get your Neo-esque matrix reference.
Anyway it looks like this season is the birth of Superman and the next if there is a next will be the full blown Superman.
Here is a shot from the new episode of Smallville,Clark is in his super-getup and Arrow is in some kind of loafer. Click Here
Here is Brandon Routh Click Here Yaspaa says on 24/Oct/09
Here is a shot from the new episode ,Justin in normal loafers and Clark in his boots. Click Here Yaspaa says on 24/Oct/09
I was just trying to bait Hugh for a bit of arguementative banter Patrick. Its looking like this season is the birth of Superman.
Lois refers to Clark in one of the new episodes as 'six and a half foot tall' hehe, but I have to say after a clunky first episode I'm starting to really enjoy it,its a different Smallville but maybe its about time.
Yes Patrick I got your 'Neo-esque' reference, only Clark has the powers in the real world...well the TV world anyway. Da Man says on 24/Oct/09
I think they are using this as the basis for Clark's current get-up: Click Here
It seems the producers ditched the red and blue because at the beginning of the season, Clark turned away from his "humanity" and embraced his Kryptonian side. When Clark finds the right balance between "Kal-El" and "Clark", the red and blue will merge with the House of El "shield" and he'll finally be Superman. At least, that's what I think the current producers are going for. It seems this phase is Smallville's interpretation of Superboy, at least that is what I am getting.
In the new episode last night, Oliver dogs his "Latrix" look pretty hard. I laughed, because he was right. And those "Latrix" motorcycle boots definitely give him a noticeable height boost, he looks taller in relation to Hartley than he does in his Daily Planet dress shoes. Patrick says on 23/Oct/09
Yaspaa, you're incorrigible! Never change, please but all of you, please, let me know about my last comment. BTW my play on words about "the Matrix"...I hope you got it Yaspaa. Patrick says on 22/Oct/09
Mickey Mouse shoes was just a joke from me. It is hard for me to follow your comments since i just have only seen a couple of the previous season and a fortiori none from the new one. Yaspaa and the others, what do think of this brand new character Tom is embodying: neither Clark nor Superboy. The "Latrix" look tendency is very far from the Superman "light". I wish i could read some of your opinions about "it". Yaspaa says on 22/Oct/09
Oh Hugh,I was expecting a very impolite answer. Hugh says on 22/Oct/09
Yaspaa I didn't mean to say "everyone else". He seems to be shorter than himself in the past seasons. Yaspaa says on 21/Oct/09
See, the same height. Click Here Yaspaa says on 21/Oct/09
He's hardly wearing Mickey Mouse boots though,they are just motorcycle boots,it was a daft comment to start with,seeming shorter than everyone else due due larger boots,nugget. Hugh says on 21/Oct/09
Thank you Patrick for giving him a polite answer. Patrick says on 21/Oct/09
You’re right but I think the supposition Big shoes could make look someone shorter is more related to “the look” they give to the one who wears them.
If you wear on outrageously heavy and thick hobnailed boots you possibly look less massive and as result, less big and tall.
In a word, Mickey Mouse wearing on “normal sized” shoes would probably look taller; I don’t know, I never came across him. Patrick says on 21/Oct/09
Luke987 You’re right but I think the supposition Big shoes could make look someone shorter is more related to “the look” they give to the one who wears them.

Yaspaa, thanks for taking into account my opinion. I think you figured out what I expounded about the show. I don’t doubt that some episodes can be good and interesting but what I am sure about is that is not what Smallville was like before.
If DaMan found it interesting and with a “touch” of Superman within, I am sure that “there is something” in it. The former producers were refined and very cultured people and characters as super heroes need and deserve artists and fine fellows to put their adventures to the screen, big or “small”. We all know that super heroes without that glimpse of intelligence and highness in their aim are doomed to failure.
Mediocrity doesn’t rhyme with super heroes, all the more reason with the greatest of them, Superman. The first 1978 feature film with Chris Reeve, a true aristocrat, was wonderful but the sequels and particularly the third one were disasters but for some scenes, admittedly funny but “no” Superman.
You know Tom is a huge fan of Jerry Seinfeld as I am and I am not surprised. As for Superman, comedy needs to be “no vulgar” and “easy” if you know what I mean.
As for the Katie’s picture, sorry but that’s really worth “nothing”.
BTW, Tom is perhaps shrinking for being the oldest Clark Superboy Kent ever! (joke, just in case…).
Happy to read you fellows. Luke987 says on 20/Oct/09
Just saw the comment about big shoes making someone look shorter. Utter rubbish, and I find it absolutely ridiculous how anyone can even attempt to reason it that way. I am 5'7, yet I have a bigger chest than my 5'11 friend. If I were to wear 3" heels and stand next to him barefoot, I'd be an inch shorter. I would look taller, because although proportionally I am now less stocky, I am nevertheless still taller.
Incredibly silly to suggest otherwise. Yaspaa says on 19/Oct/09
Yeah,a nice episode and poignant in Arrow's case.I'm not sure if Patrick will feel the same. Da Man says on 17/Oct/09
I caught the new episode last night, I though it was surprisingly good. I saw glimpses of Superman for the first time this season.
The "dark" shots were used sparingly.
Tom looks a tad shorter in his Daily Planet get up, I guess the dress shoes don't give him the boost his work boots or his Matrix/Neo boots do. I still say he's 6'2.5". Yaspaa says on 16/Oct/09
Katie,Justin is in motorcycle boots. Patrick says on 15/Oct/09
Anonymous wa "me" on12/Oct/09.Regarding the new season tone, I think, according to what I hear from abroad (in France we still don’t have the last season!) it sounds that, as I predicted, the new producers do not care of what Smallville really is. They just wanna make a show “in fashion”, trendy in a word, more “supernaturalike” - first season, gloomy, dark and pseudo gothic – than really continue what the series per se was “before”.
It’s not about “saving money”, it is much more profound and significant than that.
That happened for many other series already in the past.
CW just didn’t want to loose its probably more “money bringer” show while the former producer just had enough of going further. Remember they wanted to stop it after four years!
The new producers denature it in removing what was the essence of the show.
Most of people were fed up with Lana but the fact is between Lex and Her, that was the real axis of the Clark’s dilemma; probably too complex for Nintendo’s players (no pejorative) but please, recollect the fabulous and so fine, evolved episodes as for example, the last “third season” one.
When a teenager I found shows, novels plays, dedicated to us so stupid and I would just enjoy mature ones, maturely treated and played and written.
I know you will think I am too old and pain in the neck but I say what I feel and all the more since I feel too bad such a good has become so insipid and banal.
Smalville, a show among so many others with one super but spoiled actor, Tom Welling who nevertheless is still…6’3. Katie says on 15/Oct/09
I know, this is from bad angle and we dont see their shoes but Tom is clearly shorter than Justin.
Click Here sid says on 14/Oct/09
Yep I'm 5'10 I got 2inches on my shoes to make me 5'8 lmao Yaspaa says on 12/Oct/09
Surely big shoes just make your feet look big. Anonymous says on 12/Oct/09
Ok Hugh, I see what you mean. "Massive" shoes would make seem "the rest", comparatively "less massive" and as result "shorter". Hugh says on 12/Oct/09
Patrick, Yaspaa, big shoes always make people look shorter.. I'm not just talking about a thick heel. Anonymous says on 9/Oct/09
Thanks Yaspaa: I was wondering whether I was the only one to "notice that"! Yaspaa says on 8/Oct/09
How can bigger boots make him shorter. Patrick says on 8/Oct/09
Hugh, you say "seems to be shorter" because of big boots? Doesn't sound a tad contradictory? Patrick says on 8/Oct/09
"Aquaman" is not 6'1. He looks and is credited 6'2 and i believe it. sid says on 8/Oct/09
Anonymous says on 7/Oct/09 No Tom is 6'2 to 6'2'5 he was taller then 6'1 aquaman by 1'5 inches..he isnt a full 6'3 Hugh says on 7/Oct/09
This season Tom Welling seems to be shorter than the others...Perhaps due to those big boots.. Anonymous says on 7/Oct/09 says on 7/Oct/09
At least,i think that stuff of 6.3 for Tom Welling is out of question because i have just to read Christopher Heyerdal,s height and according to this site he is 6.3(although i have always thought that he was around 6.4 or even taller)and Tom was clearly shorter next to him maybe 2 inches shorter.In conclusion,i would say that Tom is between 6.1 and 6.1,5 but no more than that. sid says on 4/Oct/09
Here was party 3 years ago, with all the casts from Cw for each show, Pause it at 0:20 Tom looks almost the same height as Jared, and pause it at 0:55 Tom looks 2'25 inches taller then Jensen Click Here Yaspaa says on 3/Oct/09

I was not really impressed by the first episode of Smallville either but I shall save comments until a few episodes have been watched,on the plus side fringe was pretty good and regarding my very good effect comment from last week,I change it to a very well executed effect. Patrick says on 28/Sep/09
I got some report from my niece in NY and she told me that the first episode was as disapointing as the previous ones. Very talkative, a lot of close ups and "shot - reverse shot". She adored Smallville as I did for years. Smallville sounds not being Smallville any longer. Millars and Gough never should have quit before it was achieved and over. Too bad. Yaspaa says on 25/Sep/09
Smallville has moved to friday nights,that cant be good,can it? Seems Tom is adopting some rather learge boots. Click Here Patrick says on 21/Sep/09
Very interesting comments from DaMan and Yaspaa, as usual. You know, I was like the frog that is plunged into boiling water while you could be compared to the one being in cold water raised to ebullition point.
I mean, I directly came into the late 8th season and believe me, the shock was nothing but brutal! Kids playing adult parts, dull “villain” Lady instead of Lex…worthy of a low class teen age TV show.
Money has nothing to do with quality when the core is great.
How many series were mad with so little money before? I know that Superman needs “means” matching his mythology but remember, several of the best episodes weren’t those which showed FX or super sets!
The tragedy dimension doesn’t go through the importance of what is shown but only by the intensity of the characters, dialogues and the way it acted and of course, directed.
Smallville was one of the rare series made first (admittedly) for “young people” and even “very” young ones, which showed real adults over about three generations. One by one the have got ridden of them…Intensity comes from confrontation among people seeing things differently depending where they are and how they deal with life.
Clark, alone, summarized all of them hence his complexity, his doubts and hesitations, his mistakes. Hamlet wasn’t very far!
Now, it’s just words, words, words the one after the others, played “frowning at” the other to well show how serious it is. Sorry, I don’t buy it and remember, I love the “in absolute”!
Tom is 6’3 nevertheless! Yaspaa says on 21/Sep/09
Yeah,great effect for a TV show. clark says on 20/Sep/09
I think Paul Satterfield should be on Smallville as DC's Eradicator. Because of his height and looks like Superman--he would be a great match to the almost 6"3" Tom Welling. |
