Review: JUSTICE LEAGUE: THE FLASHPOINT PARADOX
What would the world look like if Superman didn’t land in Smallville? If Bruce Wayne was the one killed? If the Amazons and Atlantis caused World War 3? That what Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox tried to answer. When the timeline is changed by Zoom, it’s up to The Flash to stop. Is Barry fast enough? Let’s find out. Based on Geoff Johns and Andy Kubert’s legendary graphic novel, Flashpoint, the film deals with the subject of time. An alternate world where nothing makes sense and The Flash needs to change it. This film handles that concept beautifully. Justin Chambers is great as The Flash, giving the character that earnest…

FEATURE: The 10 Most Powerful Members of the JUSTICE LEAGUE
Wonder Woman: The Hiketeia We all know that the Justice League is the greatest superhero team in all of comics, but just how powerful are they? Today, we will be looking at the 10 of the most powerful Justice League members.

Justice League Doom is a direct-to-DVD movie loosely based on the comic, JLA: Tower of Babel. The story is about the Legion of Doom stealing Batman’s contingencies plans to take down the League. Can Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, and Cyborg stop them? Of Course, I’m not going to spoil that, but we can talk about everything else! Justice League Doom feels like a spiritual successor to Justice League the animated series. That could be because it has the same voice cast, or the same voice director, or the fact that the same people produce it. It feels like an adventure that took place before…

Review: THOR: RAGNAROK
We all know Thor has been the weakest Avenger when it comes to the standalone movies. The first film is solid, the second is mediocre, and the third is, well. Thor: Ragnarok takes the God of Thunder in a completely different direction than his previous outings. At times it feels like a stroke of genius, but at others, it feels a bit forced. Let’s talk about it. The plot is relatively simple. Hela (Cate Blanchett) is an ancient evil that Odin (Anthony Hopkins) locked away. All of this took place before Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Loki (Tom Hiddleston) were born. She has returned to seek out revenge and wants to take over…
