Why did everyone hate this one?

I honestly really liked this episode. It would make a fantastic movie. I was on the message boards and a lot of people really hated this episode. I'm left clueless as to why. The plot is great, and the ending was amazing, probably one of the best Smallville endings. And the ending shot was also fantastic. I don't want to give to much away. Again, if a writer/director took this plot and made it into a movie, it would SELL! The title of the episode is also very clever. I'm just still stumped as to why people hate this episode so much.

The writing was terrific, the guest star appearance was a great choice. The only thing that got to me, was the Javier didn't even have the slightest bit of an accent. But still, this episode is up there on my favorite Smallville episodes.
