I watched this movies several years ago and re-watched again but just recently I read the comic I have to say I like the comic series more. There are few things changed and lot of things omitted that can make the story more enjoyable. This movie is good as it started well and every minute count for the story.. it is a mystery event that until the end everyone including the viewer will know why the things are what they are. This movie is full of many DC characters, some of them are just not known before this story. The packing of all the characters does not overshadow a character over the other.What is the beauty of this movie is watching the familiar characters in their alternate versions and recognizing how powerful is the "Flash" and how crazy the villains of the "Flash". It is a very enjoyable movie from beginning to end but still I say the comic version is better as it has more information and more explanations. I like time travel and coherence of events so that is a plus reason why I liked this movie.

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

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.

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.
