I've been a fan of Ben 10 for years. And i like the direction it was going. Till Omniverse showed up. The show was better and darker at times than AF. But the aliens were kinda lame. The ultimates were not needed. And the others were shallow and boring. The series finale was also boring along with some of the later episodes. But there were great moments in the show and it's great. Ben matured more and the point of the show is that he has to fight aliens while dealing with his new found fame which he's wanted for years and now realizes it's not as great as he thinks at times. The character is more realistic which helps the story especially in the Kevin 11 arc. Where he is out of control and Ben must make hard choices. I also love the idea of the Omnitrix being a gauntlet. it was too scrawny in Af
... View MoreI don't think Ben 10:Ultimate Alien is quite as good as Ben 10:Alien Force, which in my opinion is superb and outdid its predecessor, which I also liked. That said, I wasn't expecting much and I got more than I expected in a good way. Ultimate Alien is not a bad show at all, in fact as I have said already it is pretty darn good.The stories are perhaps not quite as clever as they are in Alien Force, but they are very well-constructed and interesting. I also love the animation, the colours are bold, with some nice backgrounds and quite unique character designs. The music is also funky and cool, with a good theme tune, and the pacing of the episodes I have little to no problem with either. The romance is sweet, the fight sequences are well-choreographed with moments of eye-popping animation and the moral lessons are intriguing and don't preach.The writing is really quite good as well, it doesn't fall into the trap of being childish but it does have its funny, thoughtful and endearing moments. The characters are very likable, not just Ben but even the villains maintain interest, and the voice acting like Alien Force is consistent and suitably dynamic.Overall, not a bad series at all, if there are any illogical elements to it so much compensates. 9/10 Bethany Cox
... View MoreHonestly, after classics like VOLTRON, THUNDERCATS i thought cartoons were just dying away ... till i accidentally came across BEN 10 (fault of my remote)...then alien force - which began to restore my faith that classic animated shows are out there!!! Ben 10 ultimate alien shows wonderful creativity, deep meaning. Storyline - amazing,entertaining;and once u get hooked, u have the makings of an ultimate classic. Every transformation has good thought done about its powers .. origin and my my some CRAZY TWISTS and TURNS in the series ... Big Chill,Cannonbolt, Echo Echo are among Ben's ULTIMATE TRANSFORMATIONS and you understand a bit about the ULTIMATRIX and the origin of some of Bens' aliens...what Ben can do and struggles to do as well!!! Thank u albedo(and u guys behind the scenes)- this evolution function totally rocks!!!
... View MoreThis new series is a big improvement from the original two series! New villain for the new series, and new conflicts! One thing I have to say is he uses the same characters over and over again. With a new watch and main plot for things they stopped with the old characters and got new ones! The first episode had me excited for the series! With cliff hangers having to wait a week to find out the end! A conflict is always what this show starts and ends with, unlike the other two series. But this one is a huge improvement from the original two, which were also great shows.But overall great series!! Good Friday night show to watch and a good way to start the weekend! This is probably the most popular Cartoon Network show that's on TV. At the moment.
