Ben 10: Alien Force is the sequel to the hit Cartoon Network series, Ben 10. The series takes place five years later after the original. Ben no longer wears the Omnitrix, and his cousin, Gwen, has honed her skills in magic.

  • Face it. I watched it because I liked the old Ben 10, and to see Charmcaster.

    "Abysmal"
    By MadameCat, Oct 30, 2011
    Face it, I watched this for one reason, and one alone: Charmcaster. Charmcaster looked ugly here, and I kept picturing her as her Ben 10 self, not her current Ben 10,000 Ultimate Alien self. And Gwen has an alien grandma? Where's the magic explanation, huh? Kevin falls in love with Gwen? Plot hole after plot hole? Was three spin offs necessary for Ben? Would we have suffered this if we had enjoyed the first series while it lasted instead of bashing it like the morons we were? It kills the name, the Franchise Ben 10--what possibly possessed them to make this?moreless

  • A pretty-boring spin-off

    I really enjoyed Ben 10 and I loved the whole idea about a kid being able to turn into different aliens. Never seen anything like it. But its spinoff was just pretty weak. There are a couple of things wrong with this spinoff but also a few good things. They decided to make a spinoff straight away after Ben 10 finished. Couldn't Man of Action just wait a couple of years or something? Ben 10 wasn't even old yet. And the spinoff is way serious and less funny compared to Ben 10. Ben is this serious and not-so-funny teenager unlike his goofy and funny 10-year-old self in Ben 10. I don't like Gwen in it either; they decided to give her long hair and her voice is kind of annoying. Her spells are okay though. Kevin is no longer a bad guy but is a good guy and works with Ben and Gwen. I didn't quite like how he became a good guy but his ability to absorb materials around him is a cool power. Some of the aliens in it are terrible like Swampfire. I mean, fire and plants? How does that work? So yeah, this show is not as good as Ben 10.moreless

  • This was nothing like the original Ben 10,and sucked

    As you already know,I love Ben 10,and it was on of CN's best action shows. However,the spin-off,nearly ruined all of the greatness of the original,and failed to be like it. Ben 10:Alien Force is about Ben Tenyson,who is now a teenager and still defends the world with hi sister Gwen,and some guy named Kevin,who I don't remember being in the original. So yeah,this is another spin-off with the characters as teenagers and not kids. And this is just as bad as All Grown Up,but it's worse. First off,none of the characters act like their normal selves in this show. Ben used to be a whiny kid who was awesome,now he is serious,not funny and the only thing good about him is his catchphrase "It's Hero Time". Gwen used to be an annoying and a pest,but was funny,now she's just like Ben,and not even funny,but is boring. Kevin is a character who I never seen in the original,but I heard he was a villain. Now he's a good guy,but is boring,just like Ben and Gwen. The aliens that Ben transforms into are now different things,and some of them feel like recycled versions of the original aliens. For example,the green guy with red and yellow hair (Forgot it's name) looks like Heat Blast. The only highlight alien of this show is Humangousour,who also is kind of like Four Arms. I didn't find anything funny in this show at all,because not only this show is a disgrace to Ben 10,this is also boring. And this show also had terrible live action movies,that I haven't seen,but I know they suck. Overall,this was nothing like the original Ben 10,and just sucked. They even made another Ben 10 spin-off,which is Ultimate Alien. And it looks just as bad as Alien Force. Just stick to earlier years of Ben 10,and don't watch this.moreless

  • Continuity go bye-bye

    By DocFlareon, Sep 28, 2011
    The Plumbers are an interstellar police force, using the Omnitrix as a badge symbol?

    Kevin is anything other than a total sociopath? What happened to his powers?

    Gwen's magic now works in a totally different way than before?

    Alien Force is filled with little continuity errors, some larger than others. The only way that I can personally reconcile this with Ben 10 is to declare this an alternate universe continuation. I certainly can not call this a direct sequel of the earlier show.

    I do not recommend this show, and the question begs to be asked. What were the people in Man of Action thinking when they created this show?moreless

  • This sequel to "Ben 10" is disappointing.

    "Mediocre"
    By skaizun, Sep 28, 2011
    I liked the original series for its novel approach to the world of superheroes. A youngster, accidentally given alien technology to shape-shift, imbuing him with various powers, enjoys his role with the guidance of his grandfather and cousin, allowing the audience to learn about the initial alien characters, and slowly gain knowledge and access to a few new characters hidden in the Omnitrix.

    The new series starts a few years later, as, apparently, the eponymous youngster is disconnected from the device, without explanation, and his cousin has gained advanced knowledge of her mystical capabilities. But, the grandfather has gone missing, and Ben is forced to don the Omnitrix, once again, to search for Grandpa Max. But, the device changes on his arm, giving him an entirely new set of creatures from which to save the day. He and Gwen are joined by their one-time foe, Kevin. On the plus side, the Omnitrix seems to give Ben more knowledge and control over the characters, as well as more time to use those characters. The same is true of Gwen's advanced powers.

    On the down side, the three are without adult supervision, which I had found to be something of a relief, if not comfort, compared to kiddie shows which had no parental or adult supervision (e.g., "Kids Next Door", et al.), and even those having such supervision, but of whom were clueless dolts (e.g., "Fairly Oddparents", et al.). Furthermore, instead of allowing Ben to give the new creatures fanciful names, he spouts their name or species after he changes into them, which, in my mind, at least, somehow takes something away from Ben, and, inevitably, us, as well. Also, the foes seem to be an inexhaustible supply from one source who, of course, want to take over the Earth; as with the Daleks from the "Dr Who" series, and the Borg from the "Star Trek" series, this is going to get real old, real fast.

    While it's nice to see the kids develop into more self-assured personalities, the new series is wanting, from missing background details - - which I'm sure will be revealed in excrutiatingly slow detail - - to the lack of both believable characters and novel plots. This is no longer a new series, or even merely an extension of the old one; after just three shows, it has become a sad parody of itself, with, seemingly, nowhere to go, but down.

    Truly a shame, and a loss of an otherwise good series.moreless
