must say that "Ben 10" is awesome. I really enjoy watching the show, and just watching it progress further and further from where it started. The characters and voices are great (especially Gwen's...he he he). I think that its worthy of watching every Saturday morning on cartoon network, so everyone should give a chance before they say anything, and no one should be saying that its just like "Teen Titans". Because it isn't, it's "Ben 10"...So all that being said, I hope that everybody gives the show a chance. Be sure to catch the new season because it's going to be amazing...Good job to everyone on the show you all deserve some praise because you all truly are amazing!

View MoreTo be very blatant about it, Ben 10 is a good show. maybe it would not reflect on my rating but it was a fair one to watch nonetheless. the only thing i couldn't help pointing out is how children could relate to a character that has an attitude problem? really, what can this character teach them? disrespect their elders when he has been told many times not to do this, not to do that for his own good and still Ben had the nerve to say to his grandpa, "you're NOT my father!" this was found in one of the show's pivotal episodes, "kevin 11". is that how cartoons nowadays teach children are to do - answer back at their elders that way?! react all you want to this opinion of mine but i was raised to respect my elders and even if i disagreed with their opinions at times i never answer back to them. and as for that consequence, Ben lost his grandpa's trust at the time.Gwen hardly even fared better. she was supposed to be Ben's conscience given his straightforward rowdiness in resolving things. But sometimes for no apparent reason she also has the same attitude factor as Ben. has she ever heard of, "asking or saying things nicely?" there is such a word called tact. and even if Ben at times can be a pain, it does not give her the right to mirror his attitude.Perhaps the only reasonable character i actually liked in this series is Grandpa Max. i have never seen him in a flare towards any bad situation even once. even when he reprimanded Ben for this mischief, he always said it in a very fatherly way. and that my dear readers is a MODEL cartoon character - someone children could look up to.Fine. this is just a cartoon. maybe intended for preteens with a sense to know what is right or wrong. but you must understand that cartoons as in all forms of media can have a very lasting effect of a child's psyche in terms of values and outlook in life. many issues good and bad have involved in this media form. as a classic example read about Disney.For the die-hard and soft core Ben 10 fans, i deeply apologize. but i really had to let this out to do justice on why i lost interest in watching this show (let alone the Naruto series where the plot is five times worse than a soap opera!) until some changes can be made regarding the character's attitude in months to come. and from what i heard, Ben 10: alien force has just been released this month already. let's hope we see a more mature Ben Tennyson this time.

Even though it's not the best animation in the world but compared to Ed, Edd and Eddy and Cow and Chicken it's bloody great. The creature designs are cool, the characters are well written are likable. The entire story work, the episodes are cool and likable. Ben's hero alien monsters are cool. There isn't much I don't like about Ben 10 and I am happy to see that other people like it as well. The dialog are kind of cool and the guest voices are cool. The voice over actors do a great job in acting and the sound is crystal clear. So for all the good points that outweigh the bad parts I give it...9 STARS.

I think that this show's originality is splendid, if the plot perhaps a bit slow. It is also the same animation as the Teen Titans Animated Series, so they compare in some areas (especially Star Wars rip-offs. Titan Series fans know what I'm talking about). Perhaps if there were more internal struggles within the trio rather than new aliens popping up conveniently everywhere, the show would have more direction and not be as predictable. But I do think that this show's potential to become a cult classic (among various age groups) is becoming increasingly more likely. I enjoyed it without being too critical.
