    Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

    This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

    When I was 7 I used to be scared of aliens and supernatural things but when I saw Ben 10 then I really got interested and less scared. I even remember coming home from school and looking forward to evening the time when I would watch the show with my sister and sometimes my dad. Call me weird but I actually asked for an Omnitrix toy for my birthday as well. My favorite alien used to be Wildmutt. Vilgax was definitely scary when I was younger.The best episodes of the series are "Secrets", "Back for Vengeance", The purple lighting arc, "Perfect Day" and the Negative 10 arc.I also liked the Ben 10000 episodes especially since Greg Wisemen (the creator of Young Justice: very good show by the way) wrote those episodes. He also wrote Under Wrap. If you haven't seen this show yet I would honestly recommend it. Please don't watch that horrible reboot it is nothing more then a poor excuse for a Ben 10 series and just a show which is just made to sell toys.

    Let's start with the good. Ben 10 is a fun show with an interesting premise and a decent execution. The show centers on Ben Tennyson, a ten year-old boy, who stumbles upon an alien device that allows him to transform into different aliens. In effect, he can give himself different superpowers for a short time. It follows that the device is sought-after, creating the setup for a good story. Along with his cousin and his grandfather he begins fighting various villains they run across. The characters are real and likable and the plots are well-executed. In short, it's good entertainment.Where does it fail? The most obvious failure is that Ben 10 — like so many of its cartoon brethren — lives in a limbo between an episodic style (villain-of-the-day, rather than a comedic Spongebob-style) and wanting to have an overarching plot. The short of it is that you can watch any episode regardless of chronology without feeling like you've missed something — not a good sign for a show trying to tell a larger story. Character development could, likewise, be improved. At the start of the series Ben is whiny, annoying, and rash. By the end of it? Slightly improved, but not as much as you'd assume from what he's been through. Gwen too is not developed to her full potential, while Grandpa Max is, frankly, underutilized as a character. The relationship between Ben and Gwen is also left under-developed. Generally speaking, character-developing moments just aren't seized and are left to flow by without mention. Ben and Gwen are the same people leaving the series that we meet at the start of it.The action is cartoony, if entertaining. The fights are largely there because we're supposed to see some fights rather than because of natural conflict. Like most cartoons, there's lots of hitting and flashiness, but little that's actually damaging. It divorces us from the action by giving us no real sense of anyone's strengths or weaknesses. This helps hinder development even more.In the end, the worst I can say about Ben 10 is that it doesn't live up to its immense potential. There's nothing wrong with it that isn't wrong with most cartoons, and Ben 10 among its peers is by far one of the better cartoons you could watch. The show is entertaining and fun, and while it probably won't satiate any hunger for deep stories and/or engagement the same way Avatar: tLA might that's not to say it isn't worth watching. Do I wish it could have been better? Of course, but that's only because it's so good and interesting already. There are many shows that can strive no higher than being episodic, villain-of-the-week pulp cartoons, but Ben 10 is not one of them.…It certainly makes the 2016 reboot all the more disappointing.

    I think that it's an OK series overall. I don't like though that Ben has a hard time figuring out throughout this series the genuine reason for why he should be a hero. I feel like that was a concept that he should have figured out during the first season.I like all of the aliens that Ben gets to be throughout the series. The last episode was random though. I thought that it was weird that he told his classmates and teacher within a very short time about the omnitrix.

    Why do so many people love this show.I think it's kinda pointless.I mean,the premise is creative and original and the animation is nice.I also like the voice acting and some action scenes are mildly entertaining.But other than that,I think that this show is really bland.And out of all the shows WHY did cartoon network decide to give this spin off/follow up series.They could've given a follow up series to samurai jack(which didn't have a proper ending) but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, they decide to give this show one instead.And you know what's worse,those follow up series are even worse than the original.But at least this show is tolerable to me. Oh, and I don't care for the characters either.So bottom line: this show was tolerable but also really pointless.And it's when cartoon network released this show,I felt that the channel was going downhill.Cartoon network,PLEASE put this show to rest before it becomes the next problem solverz.
