I was worried about the new season, but have so far seen nothing wrong with it. Not overly obsessed with romance, good mix of action and humor, a bit of drama here and there: the ultimate alien works. Sure, some may argue 'the physics in this show are illogical' blah blah blah. It's a cartoon, made to entice children into watching it. While the children do enjoy the fight scenes that occur often in the show, and no doubt the humor, as well, I believe the show also puts in 'moralistic' type lessons in, as well, to teach the children in the show the difference from right and wrong. Though, thankfully, it's more about the fighting then the learning.
Overall, I am still enjoying the show and would encourage anyone, who wants to simply enjoy a good show, to watch it as well.

I 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

Yes yes yes this is the show that I waited years ago dont tell me about all the boring shows that entered the imdb list like Dragon Ball 1986 and there is not one offer from this great series.
Well, I will be biased towards Laban 10, as long as you are alive. It is not a damn kids show. You will watch and forget it. It is a four-series show, and this series is the best.
Yes, Ben 10 fans are excel at all only because they did not vote enough, because the show did not know enough.
What is this show less than Justice League or Young Justice tell me.
How many unworthy programs earn ratings that exceed 8.5 and they do not deserve 6,0, but only because fans of those programs desire to reach imdb listings and get prizes.
Let's go back a little to Ben 10. In this part, Ben has become ridiculously famous, but it does not matter. Evils were presented in this show like Agrigor and Dagon, a great show.

This 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.

I like watching this with my kids. They love the show, the toys, the movies, t-shirts, video games, and any Ben 10 stuff they can get their hands on. I am able to watch and be interested in the Alien Force and Ultimate Alien incarnations. There is good storyline. Not overly mature for kids or too juvenile for teens to enjoy. The characters in the show go through different personal issues with each other as well as working together to fight against a common enemy. They are usually morally correct from my point of view. I DVR every episode and it drove me crazy waiting for my boys to want to watch the finale. It was a lot of fun enjoying it together. I am really looking forward to playing Ben 10 Cosmic Destruction for PS3. Highly recommend the show to dads who want to share something with their sons.

Honestly, 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!!!

Good start. New aliens. Less uncessary drama and more focused on plot and character development. Writing seems better. Probably the best Ben 10 series out of the 4 excluding the reboot. The villians were more complex and 3d dimensional compared to the two previous series. The voice acting and the intro was perfect. And brand new ideas instead of the old and reused ideas.
Overall a semi enjoyable show even though it lost a slight bit of touch halfway through.
Memorable: No Rewatchable: Quiet unlikely..

Ben 10: Ultimate Alien is the third series that aired shortly after Ben 10: Alien Force, which was in 2010, this series takes place in 2011 i'm guessing.
When the first episode arried, I had many problems with it, but as the episode went on, they got better.
Ben doesn't have they Omnitrix, he now has the new Ultimatrix, it contains all 19 of the original aliens (Wildmutt-Waybig), three of the future aliens briefly shown (Spitter, Buzzshock, and Articguana), and all 13 of the AF aliens (Goop-Rath). There are also 5 new aliens introduced in the show named: Water Hazard, Terraspin, NRG, Armodrillo, and Ampfibian. The Ultimatrix also allows Ben to evolve the aliens into their "ultimate form".
I give Ben 10: Ultimate Alien a 7 out of 10, because I think it's okay, but not as good as the first two shows. Hopfully there's not fourth show!

Excellent my favorite Ben 10 Series of all time Ben now having Ultimatrix to turn into Ultimate forms so awesome season and crossover with generator Rex was awesome Kevin jokes and darker tune of show was SO great Ben 10 ultimate alien is my favorite Ben 10 series and they should continue the show with same animation which was very similar to action show in the past of cartoon network. Ben 10 ultimate alien not only bring back old alien and give them ultimate form but reveal more and more backstories back character past after original show ended in 2008 show should have continued Ultimate alien was a perfect shot alien force need and Ben 10 ultimate alien in Season 1 whole Agra's story-line was good then the Kevin being mutated and finally Diagon and vilgax they did really good there and i miss Ben AF/UA Animation

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

The original Ben 10 won the heart of many kids because it introduced a new unique way of writing super hero stories just like how some Japanese mangas do not feel shounen at all, in the case of kimetsu no yaiba, attack on Titan etc. The original was great and went well and could have ended there perfectly. But there was a successor. We all believed that a kids show could not transition into a darker theme. But guess what it did and proved us all wrong.
Alien Force came with a new arc which saw our characters mature. Unique villains were introduced into the system and a bigger cast emerged. Ben's love interest was deeply invested in too. Everything was perfect and it could have ended there but nope, another successor emerged.
Ultimate Alien begun with a bang! The first episode fed straight into one of the franchise's biggest and wildest arc; Agreggor. This meant that even though we wanted AF to end the Ben 10 franchise, we were sucked into a great new arc that changed our minds in UA. Ultimate Alien improved the battle scenes to an overpowered level which for so long Ben deserved. Most of his fight scenes in the previous enabled villains victorious with plot armor since it was a show meant for the younger. But now Ben fights and puts his all into it, causing destruction and shockwaves that his powerful aliens must deliver.
For the Ultimate Aliens, they were the superb factor of the show. Problem is that there are just few ultimate aliens. They also eradicated that silly timer because most of the plot arcs brought powerful and demanding villains such as Eon, Aggregor, Ultimate Kevin, and many others. For me I believe ultimate alien is a great way of at least keeping the consistency of a great franchise.

The Entrance Song Of The Show Is Bad And Boring. The Dialogue are Boring,Cheap and Predictable. The Animation Is Cheap. The Show Is A Cheap Copy Of Spider-Man Stories. Ben 10 Ultimate Alien Is So Unrealistic.

Ben 10 Ultimate Alien is the worst cartoon what I have ever seen especially on Cartoon Network.It is nothing like the original series: no humor, no logic,no action and almost no alien appearance. Despite that it's made for younger kids,ninety percent of the show is talking. If I were a kid I would like to see cool action scenes with those cool aliens what Ben can turn into, but in this series if a fight scene comes, that is pathetically short and boring.The animation is really weak. The atmosphere is empty, there is no other people on the streets or in the buildings except the main characters.The daytime is night in almost every episode what makes the feeling that the whole season is one day.The series has almost no story. When there is, that's ridiculous. I tried to like this series but its just not watchable or enjoyable.

Everyone says the Ben 10 series's are for boys from 7-12. I disagree. I'm a girl who started watching this when I was what, 9? And I've grown up with this show. I've always been worried about the next season not being as good as the last one, but i've never been disappointed. Good action, good plots, great jokes, awesome for kids of all ages. Maybe to lots of people it isn't good but that's mostly because they didn't grow up on the show! Give it a try! Ben can be very cocky sometimes, which can get on my nerves-and the way that Kevin is always turning bad gets really repetitive. Yet the show is growing up, along with the characters. There is drama for the older kids- action for everyone. It's one of the best shows out there, and I can't wait for the next episode. I just hope that the episodes to come will be creative and unique!

While Alien Force was a surprise by adding much more depth to the characters and expanded the world, Ultimate Alien continued in the same vein but didn't add enough to reach its full potential. The angle of having Ben's identity revealed to the public and how it affected his sense of judgement was quickly dropped and not picked up later.
But I enjoyed the new ultimate alien forms provided by the ultimatrix and as I stated earlier the same qualities of its predecessor were still there. Much to enjoy and appreciate by longtime fans.

Much as I like Ben 10 - and I do - Ultimate Alien wasn't really up my alley when I first saw it. I got on board the Ben 10 train around the time when Dwayne McDuffie took over in 2008. I really enjoyed Alien Force (which remains my "nostalgic" favorite), and have since gotten around to watching the original series, after this, I was confident Ben 10 was a series I liked.
This changed dramatically with the beginning of the third, unscheduled and unplanned for, season of Alien Force. I just couldn't stand Ben's arrogant attitude, and some of the episodes seemed rather stupid. I especially hated how they were basically trying to reset the character dynamics to a somewhat intermediate point between Alien Force and the Original series. To me, it felt like a huge step backwards.
Which leads us to the third rendition, Ben 10: Ultimate Alien. Like before, Ben's arrogance and cocky attitude annoyed me to no end, though the show got better with time. Ben would occasionally display glimpses of maturity/cleverness, and the Aggregor/Ultimate Kevin arc certainly didn't hurt.
UA got better towards the end of the series, and I ultimately figured it was a "decent" show.
After the abomination known as Ben 10: Omniverse made me want to vomit, I went back and rewatched some older Ben 10, realizing how much stronger they were by comparison, all three of them. Somehow, Ben's character grew on me trough this nostalgia trip, and it allowed me to look at the show (UA) as a whole.
While Ben is admittedly cocky, arrogant and comes off as kind of an idiot, once you actually take a real look at the character you realize this is not the case. As Ben himself quite adequately put it in the season 1 finale, once the situation got serious, so would he. This wasn't a one-time occurrence, it's always there; when there's no real threat, Ben doesn't put himself past gorging himself on his fame or enjoying the attention, but he knows when to switch gears and go about things more seriously.
So, what else is there? Well, there's some great humor, for one: Rath is hysterical, Kevin's got a lot of good lines, as does Gwen. Ben less so, but it's there. A lot of his aliens give the writers good material as well.
The animation has also taken a step up, while in Alien Force almost everything took place at night in a big vacant world where there's usually only three or four people, here there's a nice balance between day and night stuff and at least there's people walking by in the background.
In addition, the show retains the darker, more adult edge to it that it first gained in Alien Force. For example, they repeatedly make it clear when characters are killed, explicitly mentioning it and taking no effort to sugarcoat it for its audience, which shows a level of respect for children's intelligence that you generally don't find in a show of this type. The same goes for some of the more intense fights and several emotionally-laden exchanges.
It's also the most ambitious series Ben 10 has ever done; there are multiple format-breakers, among them some episodes where Ben feels like a guest star in his own series. The creators are trusting that their universe is interesting and complex enough to hold our attention without relying on the cosmetic appeal of the titular character. I was especially impressed with the episode "It's not easy being Gwen".
Ultimate Alien seems to me like it's sort of the "Justice League Unlimited" of the franchise, old villains and aliens return, new characters are introduced en masse, other characters are given focus, and the team seems to be handling threats on a wider scale than before. It's the culmination of the Ben 10 mythos, with almost every loose thread from the previous shows getting wrapped up nicely. The show had finally become what it always wanted to be.
Now, the show has its flaws, which are easily noticeable, but they don't break the show.
First off, Ben can still be annoying at times, there's really not much to do about that, though, and as I said, it's not as bad as I initially thought.
Second, some old aliens are neglected while new aliens are thrown in at their expense, like Fasttrack and Eatle, both of which are completely unnecessary, as Ben already had Upchuck and XLR8 at the ready, the latter of whom I miss dearly from the original series.
Then there's other aliens who have no reason whatsoever to not be used, like Eye Guy, and Ben- Wolf, Mummy and Vicktor, as well as Upgrade. Man do I miss Upgrade.
Thirdly, the show isn't without its low points, every series has its share of bad episodes, and Ultimate Alien is no exception. I especially disliked the episode with Ma Vreedle, just an utterly joyless experience from beginning to end
And finally, why is every "beautiful" girl in this show just a carbon copy of Gwen, it gets pretty tiring after a while.
In the end, however, Ben 10: Ultimate Alien is a great show, fantastic for kids and still good enough for older viewers, like me.
All thanks to Man of Action and the late Dwayne McDuffie, you had a great run.

Ben may be a little bit cocky but when there is a situation he stands up to it. Ben 10 ultimate alien had some cooler art styles and better in terms of action sequences. The series introduced much stronger and competing villains that helped make Ben better himself over and over again. The introduction if the ultimate too was good. It made Ben super human. Most of the fight scenes in the series are now superhuman and dirtier.
The only thing I hated was that, there could have been better aliens created instead if Eatle. A rip off of aliens that even isn't needed. Anyway, stronger aliens too were introduced which I liked such as NRG and water hazard . Also I don't know why many old and strong aliens didn't make an appearance including snare oh, Upgrade, Ben Viktor , and X L R 8. Look at diamond head, he only appeared once in the series.
In all the series was great. Better action, art style, aliens and ultimate along with villains. More character introduction and many more which made it fun to watch. I hope Man of action concentrates on this series and makes a live action of it instead of the bad reboot.

This is a fantastic television show. Its theories all add up. It's a lot of fun, and I really wish they'd keep these Ben 10 series going. People nowadays have substituted another child who isn't good enough for the best Ben 10, the one in Ultimate Alien. I sincerely hope this is resurrected on television.

My cousins got me into watching this. I would mostly just talk though the ones they had seen an pick out stupid stuff to make them laugh. But now I find myself addicted to it! When I'm watching it on my own I still pick out the stupid bit and mostly yell at the screen when there missing the obvious, or ripping off old horror movies (the cube... watch perplexahedron again... just no!) An even though i mostly give my lungs a workout I still love this show an I don't know why!!!!........................................................ and now i need to make 10 lines apparently, so please enjoy my life story. 4 scores and seven years ago... i forget the rest but basically I'm Abe Lincoln and i doubt i even got that quote right... sigh
