Superohero Golden!
This was awesome! Some of the details in the story are different that its comic book counterpart, merely overall is an amazing adaptation.
I accept to recognize my opinion may exist a fiddling bias equally I'm a huge DC Comics fan and the Flashpoint event was the biggest thing since 1985 in terms of continuity as it rebooted everything from a new start bespeak for all of DC characters. It has a lot of action and near cameos of characters I've seen and then far. All the battles are epic, characters are well portrayed and animation'south very interesting with obvious anime influence.
A lot of fun, totally worth it and if you're new to superhero animation this is a good starting point.

Best DC Animated So Far
I know men and women(!) from all walks of life who scout DC Animated shows/movies religiously. A lot of the states were expecting a Flash-specific motion-picture show after the awesomely climatic culmination of events at the stop of the JLA series season 4 (Divided We Autumn)... which pretty much told us DC fanatics what we already knew all along... that the Wink is probably the near powerful superhero in the DC universe, period. So why don't we know more nearly him? This movie serves 3 astonishing purposes, each executed to perfection; beginning, bring the DC animated movie series to an even darker, more than trigger-happy, mature place and audience; second, requite us a glimpse into the Flash'south personal back-story, top villains, and character development; and third, to showcase a period in DC comic volume history that is crucial to farther plot developments. Simply really, its just a beautiful flick and great opportunity to showcase some of the newest animation tactics, and to give the animators some liberty to be a little more 'developed' in their drawings. This is definitely the best of the DC blithe movies thus far, (that's saying a LOT, btw), and is truly i to get excited virtually watching. New Earth is portrayed hauntingly as a gritty, sullen place to exist... Aquaman is finally given total credit and accurately shown as a nigh-invulnerable multi-powered heavyweight... the Amazonians are cute and fearsome... and for the get-go time ever I was actually a little creeped out past the true alien that Superman is. Only you'll get a little creeped out by all the characters, and that's the point (except the Flash, of grade!). It was dandy to encounter the interpretation of the New Earth variants well voiced and fatigued, especially Slade and Black Manta. Also huge kudos to the producers for making Yo Yo's voice the same equally Harley Quinn's. I totally agree.

Fabled, a more worthy blithe straight-to-video superhero film
And at that place are some great ones out there, all of them are worth watching in some shape or form fifty-fifty if they don't completely work. Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox does work and brilliantly, for this viewer it's i of the better animated straight-to-video superhero films. In that location is very little to criticise information technology, except that some of information technology did feel a lilliputian rushed, Superman could have been fleshed out more than and Professor Zoom was defeated too hands. The anime-inspired animation is wonderful though, if you enjoy the animation style of Young Justice- I do- you lot'll bask the animation here. The atmospheric colours and fluidity are simply remarkable. The music is haunting and beautiful at the same time, giving intensity to the action scenes and giving weight to the more than emotional and dramatic scenes. While the dialogue is really smart and intelligently written and the story is hugely compelling correct up to the terminate and packs a real emotional dial. The action sequences take an epic intensity to them, the moral ambiguity seen in the characters and story is interwoven very well and the complexity of the characters- they are much more than what they seem- is to be admired, particularly Wink- especially in the final 10 minutes- and a more bad-ass Aquaman(loved that). At that place are lots of familiar characters that pop up every at present and again, which comic volume and superhero fans will really capeesh. And of course the vocalisation interim is superb, with Justin Chambers really making the states identify with his character, having Kevin Conroy back every bit Batman is a huge plus and there's too the suavity and command that Cary Elwes brings to Aquaman. C. Thomas Howell also shines in one of his best, perhaps fifty-fifty his all-time, film in recent years(considering that he's been in a lot of bad movies, particularly from The Aviary, lately that'south saying a lot)- he is menacing and very malicious as Zoom, his taunting of Flash is subtly chilling and 1 of the high points in the writing. Overall, while non entirely perfect Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox is fabulous. 9/x Bethany Cox

Have a peek at an all new reality in Justice League The Flashpoint Paradox
DC has been nailing it with their animated features. Their latest feature Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox not only brings everyone'south favorite characters dorsum together, it also one time again brings some of the original cast also including Kevin Conroy (Batman: Blithe Serial), and Nathan Fillion (Dark-green Lantern: Emerald Knights) equally well every bit numerous new to the cast including son of Superman: The Animated Series voice Tim Daly, Sam Daly taking on the function of Superman. Does DC have yet another hit on their hands as they bring to life ane of the coolest Justice League stories in contempo years?
Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox follows The Flash, who creates ripples in the timeline that disastrously alters the Universe. Now he must team with other heroes to restore the timeline while the Earth is ravaged past a war betwixt Aquaman's Atlantis and Wonder Woman's Amazons, things these are non the heroes he knows. Once once again DC knocks it out of the park with their animated films. The story here may exist one of the all-time ones to appointment besides as one of the most violent. They continue to push the boundaries with their PG-thirteen ratings and are clearly not afraid to go equally far as they can. The animation is peak notch with a very Anime vibe without stepping out of the visual comfort zone of their usual films. They took an awesome approach with the voice cast mixing in those that fans are familiar with along with the newcomers making the alternate reality aspect work even meliorate. If you take never read this story before there are some really awesome twists and takes on this version of the DC Universe as well every bit some keen cameos by familiar heroes and villains too as some absurd new ones. This moving-picture show is heavy on story which is ane of the reasons information technology works so well and finally getting a story that focuses on the Flash is a fresh change, but have no fear yous will become enough of your other favorites both old versions and new. Have no fearfulness there is still enough of awesome activeness hither that is sure to keep any hardcore fan satisfied. In add-on to the in a higher place mentioned voices this film besides features Justin Chambers, C. Thomas Howell, Michael B. Jordan, Kevin McKidd, Dee Bradley Bakery, Dana Delany, Cary Elwes, Danny Huston, and Ron Perlman.
With the exception of the Dark Knight Returns films, this might be the best blithe film they accept released to date. It showcases everything in both story and action you could want and and then some. They may be deadening on the depict to get their live action films moving, but they are winning the war in blitheness with each getting ameliorate and better. While we withal take a way to go earlier getting the live activity Justice League movie we accept been waiting for, you can at to the lowest degree be happy to know that the next animated moving-picture show coming up Justice League: State of war is certain to keep things moving in the right direction.

A fun thrill ride and among the best of the DC universe blithe movies.
Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox is the newest film from DC animation studios based on the comics crossover result Flashpoint by Geoff Johns and artist Andy Kubert. There are a handful of deviations from the comics but the blithe film ranks among the best of DC's blithe movies. The voice cast is spot on with many familiar voices returning to their respected roles such equally Kevin Conroy as Bruce Wayne/Batman and Nathan Fillion (the people's Hal Jordan) equally Green Lantern. The film has a very epic, cinematic feel to information technology and the action scenes are amazing. This is some of the best on screen Wink activeness sequences e'er and its about time we become a picture feature of some other character than Batman or Superman. This movie also further proves that Barry Allen is an interesting, deep character that can exist used on the big screen. On the downside, I'yard not as well great on the animation mode. Over the past few films, DC animation has been sliding more and more to mod anime styles. Which is fine but some of the character designs don't fit with the remainder of the DC universe. Wonder Adult female looks a little odd and Aquaman should have a cervix (merely proverb). There are a lot of side plots that are introduced such as the world of the new Thomas Wayne Batman that is explored in the spin off comics, but never utilized in the film. Feels a bit similar a missed opportunity. I call back the pic gets a bit overly violent at times. There are a lot of brutal things in the book but I recall the motion-picture show overdoes it a picayune (i.e the fate of Grifter). Despite the questionable championship, Justice League: Flashpoint (which is what information technology should of been named) ranks among the best of the DC animated movies and should almost definitely please fans of the cloth and characters. I would besides recommend information technology equally a solid introduction to the Flash character, for those curious or unfamiliar.

The Flash is the fastest man in the DC comic universe and also, apparently, has an origin story copied from Peter Parker. His heroic motivations stemming from one fateful nighttime where he returned dwelling house to discover his female parent murdered. Then as an adult, A freak science accident grants Barry Allen the ability to tap into the mysterious Speed Force. With his super speed, Barry fights injustice as The Flash along side the worlds greatest Superheroes in the Justice League. But one day, Barry unknowingly changed the past, and rewrote time. At present, Bruce Wayne does not exist, WonderWoman and Aquaman are in the middle of world war iii, and Cyborg is America'south greatest law enforcer. The only way to put things right is to track down the evil Professor Zoom aka Reverse Flash, a fellow speedster from the future.
Though tagged as a Justice League pic, The Flashpoint Paradox is a Flash movie with the Justice League in supporting roles. Barry Allen is the main character and we actually go into his head, deconstruct his personality, and see this twisted new earth through his optics. The writers and talent vox bandage lend a adept deal of realism to the characters, never over-interim only always keeping it existent. They speak like how they would in a live activity picture show. And personally, I would take liked to encounter this every bit one. Sadly, no matter how well the voice cast do, they are hampered by th writers turning all the other heroes into 1-notation supporting characters. Then again, this was a flaw of the original source material.
The story gets an immediate "A". Similar "The Dark Knight Returns" that came before this, It is a faithful adaptation of the hit miniseries that forever changed the status quo of the DC universe. The scope is epic, the scale is one thousand and the death toll is catastrophic. The Flashpoint Paradox gets Credit for being the darkest, bleakest DC tale ever seen in animation. Fans of the video game "Injustice: Gods Amongst Us" will definitely be pleased. Familiar heroes are recast in unfamiliar roles.
They clash and a lot of people die in rather gruesome ways. Some lose their arms, others lose their heads, heroes are burnt, gutted and skewered in ways that would make Mortal Kombat proud. Now, Dc Animated movies has a reputation of having good stories and looking good at the same time.
But The artwork here comes across like a tribute to everything 1990s; in item, that era of anime and Rob Liefeld. Elongated torsos, exaggerated expressions, and "bishonen" looking character designs are spliced with jutting anatomically impossible musculature, tree trunk think necks and over the too violence. Seriously, Wonder Woman looks similar a Clench manga character, Superman and Aquaman look like they stepped out of dragonball z or Fist of the North Star, skinny characters look like Aeon Flux and Batman looks like some bad cosplay.
The animation itself is adept only could be better. Japanese anime studio 4C animated this piece and while activeness scenes are dynamic and a thrill to watch, there is a certain feel of "cheapness" to the animation. We have creative shot angles that mimic the best of anime action yet the bodily animation lacks the polish fluid character movements that previous studio Moi Animation did. Hither the characters seem stiff, fine art tends to go off-model, movements seem unnatural and motility blur is used to hide animation brusque cuts.
A huge pity though. If DC had allowed Moi Blitheness to practice this movie, amend quality command and perhaps character designs that were not so hilariously wonky, this movie would take been perfect. Accepting information technology for what it is, Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox is a solid entry in DC's animated motion-picture show library. This show also hints at the start of a shared DC animated flick universe. For those who read the comics, nosotros all know where this would be heading.
Fifty-fifty if DC cannot get their shared live action picture show continuity going, I'd settle for animation

Totally recommended
Astonishing reboot of a very important but slightly forgotten DC History. The animation is far from how good the history was adapted, even if at that place were a few modifications near the comic one. Information technology comes in a very adept moment every bit a preparation for the Justice League film that is getting planned for the forthcoming years. This parallel world vision makes y'all run into some other side of these powerful heroes and the how the reality can be changed past minimum touch of the history. It also makes you understand the power of those we tend to recall are secondary characters of the Justice League only likewise how the lack of the most of import ones brand a huge deviation.

Look what they did with our favourite storyline
Flashpoint paradox is very mutual storyline of DC. If you lot enquire our speedster hero Flash about irresolute ane thing from his by, what would it exist? I recall y'all know. That'southward preventing the death of his mother Nora Allen. Flashpoint paradox story generally revolts around the consequences that Wink brings to this reality when he decides to step upwards, time travels and finally saves his mom.
This movie took a different angle on how the world changed subsequently Flash creates the paradox. It too showed that every decision we have accept much bigger impact than nosotros recall. The flick circulates around how Flash reacts to this new world and what length he have to get to reverse the actually from destroying the world.
The movie is well made. The 'state of war-themed' movie is graphical and story was well written. Character development is interesting. Musical score gave good experience while you lookout man the story unfolding. Information technology is good movie. Action sequence was kinda wearisome but then once again it is more of a drama than activeness so that is easily forgivable. Likewise if you prefer traditional Justice league team and are a Superman fanboy, then may be this movie is not for you.
👍 Dissimilar angle of a common storyline - Well wirtten grapheme development - Skilful musical score - Good written drama 👎 Dull action sequence

Great action and greater vocalization cast!
This is my first fourth dimension watching an animated picture based on DC Comics characters outside the Batman movies which I love, and this was a pretty darn practiced 1!
I have watched the blithe series Justice league and therefore only knew The Flash as a comic relief kind of person. This brings a welcomed change to that, because he's the master grapheme and both likable and well rounded.
I loved the voice cast! Kevin Conroy was excellent equally usual, but Kevin McKid every bit the alternating Batman did an amazing job as well. He really sucked me in to his trouble from his reality. Reverse Flash was enjoyably menacing in his slimy and big-headed style of speaking to Barry Allen'southward Flash.
The animation was great, too! If more directly-to-video productions were made similar Warner Animation does, the direct-to-video marketplace would take a better reputation. It was grand, had corking angles and profoundly textured and detailed backgrounds.
The climax is just imperial if non a little too graphic in its bloodshed, just I won't call the entire movie excessively tearing similar many reviewers have done. That title would go to the Batman: The Dark Knight Returns movies.
Flash's time travel gimmick may at times make the movie a niggling confusing, just I think it is cleared up pretty well every bit fourth dimension goes by. Many clues and set-ups pay off both in the climax and the stop and it makes the whole thing come together.
Highly recommendable movie!

The Wink and His Buddies in All Their Celebrity
Reviewed past: Dare Devil Child (DDK)
Rating: three.8/5 stars
DC and Warner Bros. seem to make much ameliorate blithe straight-to-abode videos than they do full-length feature films (with the rare exception of the "Batman" films). Another grand entry in the legacy of DC dwelling house videos and a treat for all the DC superhero fans that is certain to resonate beyond diverse age groups.
With the plot peculiarly emphasizing on "The Flash" as the key grapheme of how the story unfolds, this one promises to be a special treat for fans of the red-suited speedster like me; who've only ever been treated once before (a riveting T.V. show back in 1990) to a worthy visual medium of the fastest man ever.

An Amazing Justice League for Adults
WOW. This motion-picture show blew my socks off. I've always been a fan of the justice league and I grew up on the TV bear witness equally a kid. I've always been a die-difficult batman fan who sees the rest of the justice league equally simply there to supplement his awesomeness, then I gave footling regard to movies focused on other JL members. I've besides grown a trivial bellyaching at the new blithe movies coming out because as a young developed, I crave a semi realistic movie, not one where people beat each other up but no one always dies and everything is gravy after. But i had heard good things near this movie so I gave it a shot. The film opens with a young Flash's mom telling him the classic prayer, "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the deviation". This seems to be lost among the events of the movie but is tied back in the nearly amazing way at the cease. Everything in between is a non-stop ballsy parallel reality where *GASP* SUPERHEROES ACTUALLY Dice *GASP* Aye information technology's crazy, but it's done extremely well and in a very mature tone. I was admittedly blown away that decease was actually occurring in a JL animated movie and damn do I want more. The altered interpretation of the JL and the heroes within it are equally impressive and well thought out, with unlike factions and personalities vying for command and victory. All in all, if you're an adult fan of the Justice League, run across this movie now. I pray they make more like this.

Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox Review
Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox(2013) Starring: Kevin Conroy, Vanessa Marshall, Ron Perlman, Dana Delany, C.Thomas Howell, Kevin Mckidd, Michael B. Jordan, Sam Daly, Justin Chambers, Danny Houston, Cary Elwes, and Nathan Fillion Directed By: Jay Olivia Review FIGHT THE Hereafter. If Ezra Millers Wink film is anything similar this blithe flick where information technology is part dark and has heart and so I can't wait. As 1 who doesn't by and large read DC comics(I read Marvel) I absolutely loved this blithe flick, DC's animated films like Superman vs The Ellite, All Star Superman, and Batman Under The Red hood are some of the best DC films. I more often than not put the live action films first though. When time travel allows a by incorrect to be righted for The Flash and his family, the ripples of the event show disastrous as a fractured, alternating reality now exists where a Justice League never formed, and fifty-fifty Superman is nowhere to be plant. Teaming with a grittier, more than vehement Nighttime Knight and Cyborg, Flash races to restore the continuity of his original timeline while this new world is ravaged by a fierce state of war between Wonder Woman's Amazons and Aquaman's Atlanteans. This might exist based on some famous Flash story or graphic novel of the flash like some of the other DC blithe films I may have mentioned and I'k guessing DC fans(including me at present) take seen it and it has the one affair that I'm hearing BVS(Batman Five Superman:Dawn of Justice) doesn't accept and that's the fun. This movie is a lot of fun to sit down through I don't generally go into besides much depth with blithe films particularly ones like this where it'south directly to DVD, so I'll terminate the review by maxim that I hope this is what the DC Extended Universe is and I will most certainly think about this feature along with Grant Gustin's Flash when we see Ezra Millers, I'thou giving Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox a four and a one-half out of five.

Great but
Never been a huge fan of the Flash, but afterward watching the new Television show I have go a semi fan. I loved the story, but the main plot has me puzzled. So Flash goes dorsum in time to stop Zoom from killing his mom which causes a paradox. Yet the paradox is really why Zoom killed her in the start place, because he is from the future and if she did not die in that location would be no Flash or else she lived and in that location was a Flash and Zoom wanted to impale her to hurt Flash. Either mode at that place would have been a Flash, and so him saving her should non have mattered. Either style information technology is entertaining which is all I ask for from a comic volume. Information technology is worth a picket from any DC fan

Incredible DC superhero animated flick nigh Wink!
Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox is incredible DC animated motion picture almost Flash creating a paradox timeline which he finds himself in a war that it is a torn alternate timeline and teams up with alternating versions of his fellow heroes to return home and restore the timeline. I dear this flick I take really savor this movie 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 picture is then popular this days, that CW of The Flash TV Series volition employ Flashpoint in premiere of Season 3 for their storyline. I still have to encounter someday complete Season ane, which I haven't seeing all the same. I grew up watching The Wink (1990) the old TV series with John Wesley Shipp which, I had the airplane pilot on a VHS record and I loved it watching information technology every bit a kid.
Here you accept the voice cast of Justin Chambers equally Barry Allen / The Wink, he was alright, I really love C. Thomas Howell who voices the villain, I wish he would be in hither more but he is a Reverse-Flash too known as Professor Zoom. Michael B. Jordan is an actor that I like, he is the vocalism of Cyborg, Kevin McKidd from Domestic dog Soldiers is the phonation of Thomas Wayne/Batman, this is actually Thomas Wayne, Bruce Wayne'due south father, who was the lead in Domestic dog Soldiers which is absurd. Kevin Conroy is the voice of Bruce Wayne / Batman who has a ii cameo scenes. Cary Elwes is the voice of Aquaman. This is of grade the ultimate timeline and the earth is nighttime and different from the Flash knows, that is why I like it.
This picture show was pretty proficient and solid, it is definitely PG-13, for expert reason, their is definitely some violence and activity in it. It starts with learning a scrap more than about The Flash, like someone killed his mother when he was a petty kid and for her birthday anniversary her creates ultimate fourth dimension 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 dorsum in his world and alter all that. I simply admittedly love this film you have fifty-fifty Slade Wilson / Deathstroke in this pic voiced by Ron Perlman the character from Pointer Season 2. I start to really dislike Arrow the CW show afterwards Season iii, 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 of a sudden his sidekicks bu!
I dear the start in the opening scene: Barry Allen known as the Wink is visiting his mother's grave while all of a sudden he is alerted to a pause-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 past his archenemy Eobard Thawne aka Contrary-Flash as office of a program to destroy Central Urban center. With the aid of the Justice League, Flash foils Contrary-Wink'south plot, just taunts over the death of his mother all the same haunt Flash equally he departs. That opening scene was awesome and the pic shows the existent Justice League how to deed. Superman, Cyborg, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Aquaman saves all the villains when Reverse-Flash strapped bombs on them, they saved thousand innocent people and they didn't hurt anyone, none was harmed I love that. I honey the voice of Wonder Woman by Vanessa Marshall.
I beloved how Batman/ Thomas Wayne helps Flash get his ability back with lightning I dear that.
This flick get's ten out of 10 I love this flick to death! Information technology is my third favorite DC animated film in the Justice League franchise. The cast who and the animations is pretty practiced and over joyed. I had a fun watching this flick.

Pretty average story
I'yard pretty surprised and confused to see everybody going on about how supposedly amazing this pic is. To me, this is entirely heart-of-the-road with zip special well-nigh it, as well for how hyper-trigger-happy it is at times.
Basic plot is that Wink has accidentally changed the time-line considering of his selfish need to save his female parent, and now the earth is at war, everything is wrong, and he has to put it right.
I will say that the animation is pretty groovy hither, some of the best that the DC Blithe Movies have done. However, a lot of the grapheme designs are horrendously ugly. Aquaman and Superman wait like hideous mutated freaks, with frankly deformed faces. Characters like The Wink who really ought to look sleek and fast merely look like over-muscled steroid abusers. And as for Wonder Woman's face up, good god I accept no idea what the designers were going for in that location, it'southward just baroque, with the tiniest mouth imaginable, and massive notwithstanding expressionless-looking eyes.
The plot has been washed many times earlier in other films and shows, especially with superheroes. The just thing that actually sets this apart from the rest is the same hyper-violence and mass death. There's a lot of death, gore, blood splatters and previously heroic characters being portrayed as horrific murderers... fifty-fifty when that makes no sense. For instance, Wonder Woman is now a roughshod warrior queen who hacks innocent children into pieces, with little-to- no regard for human life. This doesn't make whatsoever sense whatsoever. I get that this is supposed to exist an altered fourth dimension-line, merely the events she goes through really don't in whatsoever mode explicate her entire personality and morality being so radically different. I but tin't encounter Wonder Woman being this fashion simply because of what Aquaman did to starting time this state of war. Same goes with Aquaman who, over 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 film really doesn't do anything interesting with this concept too the implication that Martha'due south the Joker now (which is handled in a rather light-headed 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 last cheerio and note of love from him. This is probably the well-nigh emotionally constructive moment of the film, simply then it'due south immediately dorsum to the "everybody dies" motif that the film follows.
In that location are a lot of scenes in this movie that really don't demand to be here. An unabridged sequence is defended to showing Aquaman'due south troops invading a boat with a collection of random DC characters, merely for pretty much anybody to die. It serves absolutely no purpose to the story and is only there to accept more than decease and gore. If we had instead used that fourth dimension to explore either Aquaman or Wonder Adult female's motivations, and see what actually lead them to become who they are in this world, so the pic could have been a lot ameliorate in that regard. As it is, information technology's only a neat but ultimately useless scrap of padding, and it'due south abrasive that at that place are and so many scenes exactly similar it. That's ultimately what this unabridged 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 information technology'southward all just a temporary earth that Flash is going to replace anyhow, and the movie does piddling to make you care nearly whatever of information technology. 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 but really in it for five minutes at the starting time?
Overall, this really has been massively over-hyped in my opinion, unless you're really into "world gone wrong" stories and desire to see a agglomeration of characters with little-to-no development or established personalities become slaughtered in diverse ways. Not a bad movie, but certainly not as good as people go far out to be.

Welcoming addition to the Justice League universe
I didn't read many of the comics only I am huge fan of all DC animated movies and series especially when information technology is served in the Justice League package. I am sure many fans were waiting for a Flash centered story and then I was quite interested how they gonna handle it.
Lets face it. Flash is undoubtedly one of the strongest members of the League but his office was always belittled past being the flake kittenish comic-relief spiced with a little naiveté.
Not this time. DC went with the greedy and mature route and information technology totally works. The film is definitely not for the weak-hearted. Information technology might even creep out some people when they run across their favorite characters slaughter the innocent and each other left and correct in a completely non-heroic fashion.
The story is epic and fully loaded with action and many of our beloved heroes and villains (even supporting characters!) brand a brief or longer cameo dependent on their function in the picture.
This was a refreshing addition but I don't know whether they did this movie so tearing on purpose or just considering this is the new pop civilisation norm (i.eastward. Nighttime Knight, Man of Steel etc...).
I simply hope this wont exit of control because I as well similar the fun and uplifting stories where the heroes are heroes and the villains are villains.
Overall a very solid 7/x for me definitely worth to watch.
P.S. Adapt Blackest Night already!!!

Incredible DC animated moving-picture show
Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox is an incredible DC animated picture that's dark, bold and emotional. Justin Chambers is dandy and C. Thomas Howell, Michael B. Jordan and Kevin McKidd are all actually good. The animation is also smashing and it'southward well paced. The music by Frederik Weidmann is good and Jay Oliva's direction is actually good. Notwithstanding, a couple of characters are wasted.

Favorite DC Film
Easily downwardly my favorite motion-picture show from the animated DC series. Very well done, I love the story and the ideas. The characters are dandy, the twists good. Just an all effectually corking movie. Even if it did spawn the... iffy New 52 universe and continuity equally a result of The Flash'south actions. But this picture on it'southward ain is wonderful. Information technology'southward so far my favorite animated DC picture show, and my second favorite animated super hero movie. (the first existence Marvel's Planet Hulk).

Great!
Some other winner from DC blithe. An adaptation of the corking comic. The Wink goes back to save his mom, unknowingly falling into the plans of Opposite-Flash. Allen ends up in an alternate reality where Atlantis is at state of war with Themyscira, there is no Superman, and Batman is actually Thomas Wayne. Another actually splendid add-on to the DC Animated stable.

An unexpectedly spectacular animated movie
When i started watching this picture i was expecting a good animation moving picture considering DC animated films have a reputation for meeting near comic volume and superhero fans expectations.But little did i know that instead of having just an expert fourth dimension i was going to have the well-nigh spectacular fourth dimension i have ever had from watching a animated film based om superheroes.the movie is every bit dynamic as its main protagonist The Flash and never becomes dull for one moment,kind of like The Flash.The primary characters and their personalities are portrayed beautifully.Even when there is normal conversations going on between fight scenes the excitement never goes down.And when the fighting is shown you can truly feel the thrill of the boxing.Equally for people who think animated superhero films are for kids they may think differently after seeing the combat in this film.Equally for the story itself i think its kind of elementary in nature simply never becomes ho-hum.The animation is quite good in my opinion. In curt The Flashpoint Paradox is must watch if you are a DC comics fan.And fifty-fifty if y'all are not you surely won't regret watching it.
