    To the review i read "It may not be the best cartoon out there, but Atomic Betty isn't bad.Betty is an average fourth grader who doubles as a Galactic Guardian (that is, she defends the universe). Her crew consists of herself, the alien Sparky, and the robot X-5. Most of the humor in the show comes from the clash of personalities of the sloppy Sparky and the meticulous X-5, although the villains provide some good laughs as well.Speaking of villains, the main villain in this show is Maximus IQ, a sinister cat who desires to destroy the universe. He is "aided" by his bumbling sidekick Minimus (who is a sort of Jekyll-and-Hyde personality). Other villains include the Chameleon (a shape-shifter) and Iciclia, queen of an ice world.Though it may not be Kim Possible or Phineas and Ferb, Atomic Betty still provides some solid entertainment. The animation is solid and the characters are interesting enough to give it a chance."Thats a lie its the best

    Some people who have watched this show have called this a Kim Possible or Totally Spies ripoff. I don't think that's the case though; Atomic Betty is nothing more than a complete ripoff of Buzz Lightyear of Star Command. Let's think about it shall we? In Atomic Betty it centers around a girl named Betty who is secretly part of an intergalactic organization called the Galaxy Guardians from evil such as Maximus I.Q. and other evil doers. So with her friends X-5, a robot, and an alien co-pilot named Sparky they defend the galaxy. I can count out all the simple flaws and ripoffs this show does from Buzz Lightyear. The Galaxy Guardians are nothing more than a knockoff of Space Rangers. X-5 is a complete ripoff of XR and almost acts like him. Sparky is a blatant clone of Booster with how he acts. Maximus himself is a Emperor Zurg wannabe and even has a robot army much like Zurg. Just how uncreative can you get? I expected Disney to come knocking on Cartoon Network's door with a lawsuit in their hands so they could sue them for this. So amidst this blatant ripoff, Atomic Betty tries to have its points of originality, but there's nothing the least bit original in this show at all. The plots are completely boring and very predictable. You're better off taking a nap then watching the so called adventures here. All the jokes and gags are awful and not once did I laugh at these so called jokes. I know this is meant for children, but I saw this as a kid and still didn't find it funny. Each character on this show is uninteresting to say the least and not one is the least bit memorable at all. It doesn't help though that a majority of the characters are cheap clones of other cartoon characters. The artwork and animation for the most part is okay, but sometimes the animation does get choppy. Atomic Betty may have worked as a neat little show, but it just doesn't for so many reasons. The premise is terrible, the characters are bland and generic, the jokes are terrible, and it's a ripoff of a better show you could be watching. In the near future if you want to call a person to defend the Earth from evil aliens then call up Duke Nukem or Buzz Lightyear; NOT Atomic Betty.

    This Canadian co-production manages to avoid the great pitfalls of kiddie super-spy shows, which are repetition and formulaic structure. The conquest schemes of the various (rather silly) super-villains are usually good enough to keep disbelief suspended, and the means by which Betty and company manage to thwart them are for the most part inventive and unexpected. It entertains without insulting its audience's intelligence.The characters are cute without being excessively cloying and there are laughs thrown in, but everything is kept in suitable taste for pre-teen audiences. The production is not high budget by an means, but the sci-fi look and action animation are pretty good despite this.I found this show to be a pleasant surprise and wound up watching it fairly often when I happened to catch it. Worth a look.

    Atomic Betty is a young Canadian girl who secretly fights with the Galactic Guardians to save the galaxy from such evils as Maximus IQ and other villains all bent on some crazy scheme that gets them nowhere. As usual with 'double life' cartoons, Betty must cover up this secret (more to stop Maximus blowing up Earth than an actual 'secret') and this leads the show into tricky scenarios like when Maximus discovers where Betty comes from. As with all flash cartoons, it uses a smooth and perfect form of animation but lacks a good plot, decent storyline and any real entertainment above the par you would achieve by staring at a wall. Not a BAD show as such, more bland. However it isn't that bad and is alright if there's nothing better to watch, but the plots tire after a while and the characters become a tad weary.
