Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Blistering performances.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I fell in love with the original one for it's sheer inventiveness and goofy characters. But Alien Force switches that up with even more inventiveness, but with mature characters now. It was a welcome change and did the series much good; it made room for new, somewhat darker ideas. Some episodes were, I felt, particularly ground breaking, such as Professor Paradox and The Vengeance of Vilgax, Part 2. Also, how could I not mention this, Alien X was amazing.

Now, the original Ben 10 series isn't exactly a masterpiece. But it was definitely an interesting watch because of quite a few factors. The childish, yet still enjoyable humour, the funny ways that Ben handled the aliens, the different grandpa and the annoying naggy (in a good way) Gwen, it all made a good cartoon. Not original, but good.Now with this sequel series, the production team has attempted to 'mature' the characters and the cartoon itself. Perhaps they have been somewhat successful in that regard but at the same time, everything that was enjoyable about the original series is gone. The cool grandpa's missing, Ben's all sobered up and gentlemanly, Gwen's an innocent angel now, Kevin's a good guy and the humour of the show now mainly depends on him and he isn't funny at all. In fact, all the humour in the show is just... bad. The villains are much less diverse than in the original series. The only kind of bad guys that are given much importance throughout the whole series are the 'highbreeds' and I become quite tired of seeing them episode after episode. The romantic element they tried to introduce between Kevin and Gwen and Ben and whatshername is insanely annoying and dumb. Other than that, the flaws that were present in the original series are still present. Overstretched, boring action sequences, plot holes, lazy animation etc.On the positive side, I guess some of the aliens are crafted interestingly, the theme music isn't that bad, the story looks somewhat good on paper and... ummmm... yep, that's pretty much it.I'm not sure why this cartoon gets so much praise. In the end, all I can say is that they butchered an already not so amazing cartoon and thus made something really boring and bland.

The characters, action, and villains are way better in this. Gwen is hot in this and Kevin isn't a villain anymore. Ben's girlfriend is hot. This is one of the few good shows that are on Cartoon Network (who are they targeting anyway?). My favorite aliens that Ben is able to turn into is Big Chill and Humongosaur. My favorite episodes is the War of the Worlds second season finale. My least favorite episode is the one with Alien X. I don't see why Cartoon Network hyped Alien X up so much when Alien X is frozen for most of the episode and never appears again. I'm looking forward to the live action movie of this called Ben 10: Alien Swarm which looks way better than the previous film Ben 10: Race Against Time.

first of all, id like 2 say that this is an awesome show! Ben, Gwen, and Kevin have grown maturely. having grandpa max die was bad, but was part of the characters growing up and Ben becoming a better leader.the animation is way better,the old show's seemed 2 bright and 2 happy-go-lucky. the new show gives an eerie feel 2 it.Ben's aliens are better and more worth watching. there aren't useless ones like wildvine and wildmutt.Gwen's abilities are better. she can manipulate energy directly as opposed to spells, which really held her back if she couldn't remember them.Kevin's powers are awesome also. it's also showing a development in character with him turning good.the characters also don't just travel the world and danger pops up. the danger either finds the characters, they create it, or they locate it and try to stop it.all in all, Ben 10 alien force is an incredible show and well worth watching. it's clearly the best show on carton network. and, by the show's ratings, i think others agree with me.
