OneEightNine Media A freaking masterpiece when held near anything out from DC right now.

7/11 was an inside job Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox is more of a Flash film than a Justice League movie. It centers around the Flashpoint comic storyline where Flash goes back in time to save his mom basically pulling a Back to the Future and changing the future. In the Flashpoint universe the Justice League was never made. Green Lantern isn't Hal Jordan, Deathstroke is part of a gang of mercs, Aquaman and Wonderwoman are having a full out war, Cyborg is working for the government, Bruce Wayne is dead and instead his father Thomas Wayne is Batman and his mom is Joker, Superman was found by the government instead of the Kents, Shazam is with a bunch of other kids who kind of have powers, and The Flash doesn't exist. This movie takes the original comic that all Flash fans love and turned it into an animated masterpiece, and even extended a bit of the lore revealing that Aquaman and Wonderwoman were in a relationship before Aquaman was revealed to have a wife and Wonderwoman thinking he's cheating kills her, basically starting their whole war. With great acting, and taking something already amazing and making into something more amazing. It also makes people want to read the original comic. After finishing this movie I binged the comic. Flashpoint Paradox is perfect for people who want to know about Flashpoint but don't feel like reading every 100 page issue that was created for it. DC may not be able to create live action movies, they can definitely make animated ones. I'm about to say the obvious though. THE BOOK IS BETTER

ivo-cobra8 Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox is incredible DC animated film about Flash creating a paradox timeline which he finds himself in a war that it is a torn alternate timeline and teams up with alternate versions of his fellow heroes to return home and restore the timeline. I love this flick I have really enjoy this film I love it. The Flashpoint Paradox was the second animated film I saw in the Justice League franchise and I really had fun with it. The animated flick is so popular this days, that CW of The Flash TV Series will use Flashpoint in premiere of Season 3 for their storyline. I still have to see someday complete Season 1, which I haven't seeing yet. I grew up watching The Flash (1990) the old TV series with John Wesley Shipp which, I had the pilot on a VHS tape and I loved it watching it as a kid.Here you have the voice cast of Justin Chambers as Barry Allen / The Flash, he was alright, I really love C. Thomas Howell who voices the villain, I wish he would be in here more but he is a Reverse-Flash also known as Professor Zoom. Michael B. Jordan is an actor that I like, he is the voice of Cyborg, Kevin McKidd from Dog Soldiers is the voice of Thomas Wayne/Batman, this is actually Thomas Wayne, Bruce Wayne's father, who was the lead in Dog Soldiers which is cool. Kevin Conroy is the voice of Bruce Wayne / Batman who has a two cameo scenes. Cary Elwes is the voice of Aquaman. This is of course the ultimate timeline and the world is dark and different from the Flash knows, that is why I like it. This film was pretty good and solid, it is definitely PG-13, for good reason, their is definitely some violence and action in it. It starts with learning a bit more about The Flash, like someone killed his mother when he was a little kid and for her birthday anniversary her creates ultimate time line and he changes everything and he creates a dark world where the war between Aquaman's Atlantis and Wonder Woman's Amazons rules and he has to go back in his world and change all that. I just absolutely love this film you have even Slade Wilson / Deathstroke in this film voiced by Ron Perlman the character from Arrow Season 2. I start to really dislike Arrow the CW show after Season 3, because since when Arrow Oliver Queen needa a sidekicks that is so is sick and boring, I wanted to see Oliver kick all the baddies ass and not his sister and all his friends and his girlfriends are suddenly his sidekicks bu! I love the start in the opening scene: Barry Allen known as the Flash is visiting his mother's grave while suddenly he is alerted to a break-in by Captain Cold, Captain Boomerang, Heat Wave, Mirror Master, and the Top at the Flash Museum. Defeating the Rogues, he discovers that they have been hired by his archenemy Eobard Thawne aka Reverse-Flash as part of a plan to destroy Central City. With the help of the Justice League, Flash foils Reverse-Flash's plot, but taunts over the death of his mother still haunt Flash as he departs. That opening scene was awesome and the film shows the real Justice League how to act. Superman, Cyborg, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Aquaman saves all the villains when Reverse-Flash strapped bombs on them, they saved 1000 innocent people and they didn't hurt anyone, none was harmed I love that. I love the voice of Wonder Woman by Vanessa Marshall.I love how Batman/ Thomas Wayne helps Flash get his power back with lightning I love that. This flick get's 10 out of 10 I love this flick to death! It is my third favorite DC animated film in the Justice League franchise. The cast who and the animations is pretty good and over joyed. I had a fun watching this flick. Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox is a direct-to-video animated film adaptation of the 2011 comic book crossover "Flashpoint" by Geoff Johns and Andy Kubert.

spikeprime I'm pretty surprised and confused to see everybody going on about how supposedly amazing this movie is. To me, this is entirely middle-of-the-road with nothing special about it, besides for how hyper-violent it is at times.Basic plot is that Flash has accidentally changed the time-line because of his selfish need to save his mother, and now the world is at war, everything is wrong, and he has to put it right.I will say that the animation is pretty great here, some of the best that the DC Animated Movies have done. However, a lot of the character designs are horrendously ugly. Aquaman and Superman look like hideous mutated freaks, with frankly deformed faces. Characters like The Flash who really ought to look sleek and fast just look like over-muscled steroid abusers. And as for Wonder Woman's face, good god I have no idea what the designers were going for there, it's just bizarre, with the tiniest mouth imaginable, and massive yet dead-looking eyes.The plot has been done many times before in other films and shows, especially with superheroes. The only thing that really sets this apart from the rest is the aforementioned hyper-violence and mass death. There's a lot of death, gore, blood splatters and previously heroic characters being portrayed as horrific murderers... even when that makes no sense. For instance, Wonder Woman is now a brutal warrior queen who hacks innocent children into pieces, with little-to- no regard for human life. This doesn't make any sense whatsoever. I get that this is supposed to be an altered time-line, but the events she goes through really don't in any way explain her entire personality and morality being so radically different. I just can't see Wonder Woman being this way simply because of what Aquaman did to start this war. Same goes with Aquaman who, again, has an entirely different personality and morality set, despite literally nothing occurring that would make him like this. It all feels far too forced and in-your-face.About the only interesting character, really, is Batman. In this world, Bruce Wayne was killed in the alley instead of Thomas and Martha. Now, Thomas Wayne is Batman and Martha is Joker. Sadly, the movie really doesn't do anything interesting with this concept besides the implication that Martha's the Joker now (which is handled in a rather silly way) and Thomas Wayne being a murderer and nihilist. There is a good moment that has Thomas give Flash a letter to give to Bruce, a sort of final goodbye and note of love from him. This is probably the most emotionally effective moment of the film, but then it's immediately back to the "everybody dies" motif that the movie follows.There are a lot of scenes in this movie that really don't need to be here. An entire sequence is dedicated to showing Aquaman's troops invading a boat with a collection of random DC characters, only for pretty much everyone to die. It serves absolutely no purpose to the story and is just there to have more death and gore. If we had instead used that time to explore either Aquaman or Wonder Woman's motivations, and see what actually lead them to become who they are in this world, then the film could have been a lot better in that regard. As it is, it's just a neat but ultimately useless bit of padding, and it's annoying that there are so many scenes exactly like it. That's ultimately what this entire world is in its entirety, just one long obstacle that Flash has to overcome. There are a lot of sub-plots and minor characters who are ultimately entirely pointless to follow as it's all just a temporary world that Flash is going to replace anyway, and the movie does little to make you care about any of it. The biggest question for me is, why is this even called Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox when the Justice League have nothing at all to do with the story overall, and are only really in it for five minutes at the start?Overall, this really has been massively over-hyped in my opinion, unless you're really into "world gone wrong" stories and want to see a bunch of characters with little-to-no development or established personalities get slaughtered in various ways. Not a bad movie, but certainly not as good as people make it out to be.
