Review of Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox

The biggest reason I say this is not for children is because it is excessively violent. The story is a good one about Flash going back in time where his mother's death never happened, and how that changed everything for the worst instead of the better. I had to knock off some points though, because for being an animated film the violence is over the top. Granted I know it was needed to an extent because of the story they were trying to tell, but it was difficult to watch the heroes that I grew up with brutally murdering people. For instance, they have Wonder Woman cutting off the head of Aquaman's wife, and then holding it up like a trophy. Batman throwing a female criminal off of a building with the intent to kill her, and then getting mad at Cyborg because he saved her. Superman using his heat vision to sever Aquaman's right arm. Other lesser known heroes getting shot, having arrows go through their heads, etc. They had a few bad words, but they didn't detract. The amount of violence though for an animated film was a little too much for me.
