Ben 10: Alien Swarm – review

Small is a big Ben 10 fan, as is obvious to anyone who knows him. He can discourse knowledgeably on the different sets of aliens in the different series and explain what each one of them does. He has several omnitrixes (what is the plural of that anyway?) and many alien toys.

With this in mind, when we were offered the chance to review the new Ben 10: Alien Swarm movie, I leapt at the chance 🙂 He’s known about the film for a while as it came out in the states last year, but on Cartoon Network, so not something he had access to.

(As an aside, when are companies going to recognise the way that the internet has shrunk the world for our children? Small doesn’t understand why some things are available in the US and not here, and to a large extent I’m with him.)

Anyway, we watched the film. Small loved it. I suspect any or all Ben 10 fans will feel much the same. He’s a bit undiscriminating tbh. But I was rather surprised that Big loved it too. Could be that there are a couple of good female characters? I sat there wondering what it was all about, and made the mistake of asking – shan’t do that again!
