The Flintstones (1994)

The Worst Film Ever

Such a frustrating disappointment

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

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.

It's great if you want it to watch it, yes. If you have Mono and are laying around all day and if you just went to the doctor like I did. Number one, It's very funny. Second of all, you can kind of see fake history. Third of all you can say whatever you want. But forth of all...overall... it's awesome.One thing I liked is that is that... just everything. There's nothing that's bad.

I remember in kindergarten, i LOVED hannah barbara. this, outside of the smurfs, was my favorite, and when i heard there was a movie, i was excited! so i recorded it, and saw it and 4.8? i'd give it atleast a 6.8. it has the spirit of the original, has the humor of the original and the sets are actually good. so is the acting. but with stars like John Goodman, Rick Moranis, Elizabeth Taylor, Harvey Korman, Jonathan Winters and even Hannah Barbara cameoing, how can i not love this? it is the definition of a guilty pleasure. the only flaws i would say is rosie o'donnel as betty was dumb, i would've casted someone like jennifer tilly, and the villain's plan is complicated, but still, go see it. you'll atleast laugh once

I always liked the cartoon "Flintstones", which I went on TV when I was a kid, but this movie proved to be much weaker than I thought it could be. The plot starts well, puts Fred in a morally reprehensible position, getting an enviable promotion at the expense of his faithful friend, Barney, and confronting him with regrets and consequences. But this ends up making the film too serious and thoughtful, erasing the very fragile attempts to make comedy that are tempted through it. I confess I was expecting a stronger bet on comedy and this disappointed me but, after that, I was able to appreciate this work better and enjoy it for what it is: a family film, with a moral lesson behind and emotional moments, but able to please both children and adults.The work done to recreate scenarios and props of the cartoon is quite satisfactory and shows us most of environments we have become accustomed to associate with it. John Goodman is a good Fred Flintstone. The physical similarities have helped but the psychological construction of the character also deserves congratulations. Elizabeth Perkins gave life to Wilma in a very interesting way. Rick Moranis was OK as Barney, but made the character too naive to be worthy of credibility. Rosie O'Donnell was OK too. Halle Berry was decent in one more character where the actress does not have much to do (well, since I never considered her particularly talented, maybe it's better). It was nice to see the diva Elizabeth Taylor, although in a small cameo Wilma's mother.

Yubba dubba dooFlintstones, meet the Flintstones They're the modern stone age family From the town of Bedrock They're a page right out of historyLet's ride with the family down the street Through the courtesy of Fred's two feet When you're with the Flintstones Have a yabba dabba doo time, a dabba doo time We'll have a gay old timeThe Flintstones is one of the most believed cartoons ever created I even was raised on the show and remains one of my favorite cartoons even now.The production deserves a lot of credit for the setting of the film to actually look and feel like the cartoon the sets are top notch with the way you would expect the characters to live in the cartoon.I just appreciate the set design team for how they made the film look like the cartoon for a live action film.The story was really good it really brought up a strong lesson that you have to enjoy. As for the casting some of it were hits others not so much the best casting and performances have to be John Goodman as Fred Flintstone John really took the role seriously and it's easy to respect his performance this is one of my favorite roles of Mr.Goodman Rick Moranis as Barney Rubble was just genius because Rick and John worked very good together and I believe had mutual respect for each other Kyle MacLachlan as Cliff Vandercave the film's main antagonist is just crazy where you had to see to believe this Villain's work.Dino of course who doesn't love that dinosaur.The writing in this film is very good and there is more than enough humor along with reference to the TV show it just does a lot more than people give it credit for. Seriously This is one of the few films based off a cartoon that got it right sure there are some things to hurt it but the result is The Flintstones is a strong movie for the family I give The Flintstones a 8 out of 10 Yubba Dubba Doo!
