Ben 10: Fuerza Alienígena

This is one of my favorite cartoon TV series... why? because my kids enjoy it like nothing else and with them I get glued to the TV too! Haha.. but yeah it's true.

I like the characters - the aliens, the plumbers, the Vilgax and all. Especially Humungousaur, my younger one's favorite! My kids are so addicted that even after watching the episodes, they have to play Ben 10 Games too! Hats off to the creators.

I just recently completed the Ben 10 alien force show and all I can say is that man of action unpredictably put on a splendid performance.

This is because, the only hit man of action made was the original Ben 10 so lot of people including I myself thought a sequel which takes place 5 years later might lack its originality. But it seems I was wrong. This is even better and much more maturity making me feel like I'm the character himself. On top, I also like the new aliens as well.

Ben 10:Alien Force premiered a few weeks ago here in Australia and I'm really enjoying it. As a fan of Ben 10 from the beginning, I think it's a natural progression in the story. Unlike say Rugrats All Grown Up, for example, that simply made the characters older for the sake of it.

They wrote ten-year-olds rather accurately (and I would know,I have a brother that age). But now that the characters are my age I can relate to them and they're more interesting. Plus they are all drawn rather attractively. They can do things with the characters that they couldn't do before, such as the relationship between Gwen and Kevin (I especially love Ben's disapproval of it all). Plus they're on their own now, making their own decisions without Grampa Max helping them out.

I miss the old aliens, all of them had such interesting and unique designs. My favorites being Ghostfreak, Heatblast and XLR8 (don't you just love how they sound like they were named by a little boy?). Although I do like Big Chill, the rest of the aliens are unimpressive. But I think this new series is driven much more by plot than by the look of the creatures. Which reflects how Ben probably feels about having an Omnitrix at this stage. He's grown accustomed to it, the novelty of playing superhero has worn off and now he has responsibilities.

I hope this show runs for a long time yet, I hear there's even a live-action movie in the works.

The story of More Show was not appreciated. Okay Ben 10, the original that started in 2005, was great for kids, but this show is for these kids when they grow up. Great show starts from the story of the disappearance of Grandpa Max and the return of Ben and Gwen so well. And Kevin Levin cooperates with their worm enemy who has become their funny and cynical friend. The show mixes scenes, action, comedy, drama, and a little romance between Gwen, Kevin, or Ben and Jolie. In any case, the show is great. There is nothing wrong with it all. There are episodes in season three that are not worthy of existence, but this is the case for all shows. If you read this review and wonder if you would like to see this show, I will tell you that you will never regret it if you give it a chance.

I fell in love with the original one for it's sheer inventiveness and goofy characters. But Alien Force switches that up with even more inventiveness, but with mature characters now. It was a welcome change and did the series much good; it made room for new, somewhat darker ideas. Some episodes were, I felt, particularly ground breaking, such as Professor Paradox and The Vengeance of Vilgax, Part 2. Also, how could I not mention this, Alien X was amazing.
