Tom Welling makes a good Clark Kent in the aspect that the Clark Kent character was a man hiding something and he had to give the impression of being shy and a bit of a loser in society.  Tom Welling is incorporating that and the fact that he is also a boy growing up knowing he is different.  The reason many people probably do not like Tom Welling as Superman is because he is NOT Superman, we cannot relate him to being Superman because he is still Clark Kent.  The whole point of Smallville was to give a background of Clark Kent and the Origin of Superman.  We cannot compare Tom Welling to Christopher Reeve because they are not playing the same role and because they are also in two different times.  Another reason Tom Welling could not be Superman in the big movie is because if you put Tom Welling then you need all the characters from Smallville, every single one and if you didnt then the movie would bomb and then the show would go under.  Starting from scratch with the superman is ultimately the best decision.  Look how it worked with Batman Begins, they set the bar for future Batmans and cleared up all the annoying and stupid events in the last movies.  That is how a comic book based movie should be.  And I hope Superman can do the exact same.  After all the comic book is where it all started.
