Too many fans seem to be blown away

Instant Favorite.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

This show is very successful series after the first series. I must also say this is much better than the first series.Ben Tennyson is now 15, with his cousin Gwen and a reformed Kevin are on an adventure to stop the Highbreed.Okay, I must say when I first saw this, I wasn't very interested until season 3 started and they brought back familiar faces from the first show from villains like Charmcaster, Dr. Animo, Ghostfreak and Vilgax and aliens like Upchuck, Cannonbolt, and Diamondhead. Although I was disappointed that Chromastone was destroyed only to bring back Diamondhead. After when I finished season 3 I went back and watched season 1 and 2 and I must say it was amazing. My favourite episodes are the first 2 episodes, the war of worlds arc and majority of season 1 and 2. Season 3 was okay but episodes like Fools Gold, Busy Box and Verdlee, Verdlee put it down. However it was good at introducing new aliens like Rath and Lodestar.I also liked the art style that this show had and the show had so many like able characters although it did take time for me to accept that Kevin is a good. The only drawback to the show was that when season 3 began Ben started being immature again but by the end of the series that all changes. Don't listen to the haters this is a good show. ==Edit 31/01/2018== If you come across a person claiming this show is too dark for children pay no attention to him/her because say this show is dark for children is just like say Star Wars the clone wars and Teen Titans is dark for children and at the end of the day when kids get older they would be watch stuff like this. Plus because of this persons complaint saying this is too dark children of today are stuck with dumb down shows like Teen Titans Go! and Ben 10 2016. I was like 8 when this show came out and my parents nor my sister thought it was dark.

not the best version of ben 10 but it is great I loved how they added Kevin into it as a good guy with a dark past his powers were great and Gwen was good but i felt like ben was a secondary character in this version they are much older and ben is more serious which was a bit boring at times but i enjoyed it overall

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.

Ben 10: Alien Force, in my humble opinion, is entirely superior to the original. As the characters have matured, the story has followed. The series has grown much darker, and it fits in surprisingly well, considering the general lightheartedness of the original series.The characters have not only aged, but they've developed quite well with their surroundings. The formerly goofy and energetic Ben is much more collected (aside from the many situations where his powers take over). The villains are much more sinister, but balanced, showing signs of weakness in many situations while remaining incredibly intimidating.While the name puns are still rather weak, it's a staple in the series, and just feel in place.Ben 10: Alien Force is one of those rare gems that shows that great effort is put into making every episode. A must watch if you liked the original, worth looking into even if you didn't.
