Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
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
Cassie Devereaux The Flashpoint Paradox is an animated feature that employed several people, undoubtedly giving them the resources to provide food and shelter for themselves and, conceivably, some of their loved ones. This is a good thing.Alas, these folk..... undoubtedly some of whom are witty and charming.... created a product with all the verve and care of a worker at a Styrofoam cup factory. I mean, they made it. It's there. It exists. But there's no real personality to it.Oh sure, it takes beloved characters that have charmed generations and portrays them as humorless reprobates, but is that "personality" or a mere patina, like the blue/green on copper plumbing about the public toilet? The plot is put together without care, and the acting so wooden they may as well have laid a microphone on a tree stump. The character designs are unappealing grotesques, although the animation, while limited, is occasionally lively. Despite this, it doesn't look as if any of the creators put a single iota of care into the product. There's no resonance, no emotional content. It simply appears as if a group of preadolescent boys were polled on what they thought should go into a "grown up" superhero tale, and the data was fed into a computer. It falls flat, in every sense.There is nothing I can imagine that would be a worse use of a slice of the finititude of our existence. This is one big middle finger thrown up at the existential questions. Avoid. Forget this exists. Hug a loved one. Walk a puppy. Drink a nice wine. Do anything else. To waste time on this is an unforgivable obscenity.Except for the Kevin Conroy bits, I guess. But that's not enough. Not enough.
nabilbassem This one was too bizarre and unpleasant to watch. It is irritating see supposedly noble characters acting childishly, foolishly and destroying the world over a dispute and an affair.At one point, Wonder Woman makes Captain Thunder break the spell and kills Bill Batson and the children because they got in her way. The Wonder Woman I know from the Justice League episodes from 2004.More importantly, how the world has changed dramatically because of a small detail as Flash saving his mom was never explained. Except that, it is only explained by the "Time Boom" effect which sent ripples that changed other events bla bla....which is of course a very lazy explanation and awful. Unfortunately, this has been a trend in many latest superhero movies where strange and illogical events would go unexplained or given an obnoxious explanation where the creators rely on the special effects and the heightened graphical quality of the movie to compensate for the poor story and scenario quality.
Otaku_Critic I really can't describe how great Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox is. It's more than awesome, also more than amazing. It's really indescribable. It's so awesome that I can't even put it to words. For starters, the story was told orderly even with the time travelling part. That's what makes this movie not confusing at all. Even with the time travelling, the events were kept very simple. The characters are lovable, especially Thomas Wayne as Batman. It was really badass for me. Overall it's an awesome movie.In conclusion, Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox is.... I really can't put it to words. It's more than awesome, you get the point.
