Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox (2013)

Awesome Movie

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

What begins as a feel-good-human-interest story turns into a mystery, then a tragedy, and ultimately an outrage.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Flashpoint is one of the most celebrated DC stories ever. This is maybe the toughest decision Barry Allen ever made,and it something he has to carry with the him for ever. Pros +Barry Allen/Flash as a leader +Batman/Batman +Reverse Flash +Action +Heros/Villains Battles +Ending Overall: 9.5/10 a near perfect movie! must see.

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.

Great movie!A bit different then the comics but whatever. The story is mind breaking, seeing a parallel universe, where superheroes are all different then usual.Batman being more violent than usual, Aquaman and Wonder Woman having a relentless war and Superman being locked up. Instead of Zoom causing all this trouble, Flash did it! Flash's mother is alive. Let's just say that the whole world is twisted.Like I said earlier, it's a bit different then the comics, some parts do come in some do not. Besides that it's a great movie!

Flash, as cool as he is, seems to have occupied sort of a fringe position in Justice League universe. I clearly remember him complaining of this in the Justice League animated series where they bring in all the super-heroes into the fold of Justice League. Maybe in this decade he will get the attention he deserves.This straight to video movie has a Barry in the role of Flash and inadvertently creates a time-paradox which puts the whole world at risk. The great part of the story is that while there is a world that needs saving, there is really no clear villain in the movie.The grittiness of the superheroes is refreshing. Batman, Aquaman, Wonder Woman etc. are so bad ass, it just makes me wish for real grown-up versions of Comic Book stories where heroes and villains were allowed to kill.Where the movie does come up a little short is on the actual plot- line. The lack of a villain which I stated earlier, well, that's not entirely accurate. The problem however is that the role of the villain is a little under-explained. The resolution itself is far too convenient. The movie could literally have been anything with the ending they showed. We all are used to deus-ex-machinas in superhero movies, but to make the first 90% of the movie feel completely random because of the ending is a poor story. That said, the randomness they did choose to show was actually great, on account of it's gruesomeness. In the end, that's what was fun about the movie.
