kristineannlohman 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.
jacksons-02775 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
slightlymad22 Far from the worst movie I have ever seen, but still a missed opportunity, and not really that good.Plot In A Paragraph: Jurassic Jollies all around as we get the first live action version of "The Flintstones" in which there is trouble at the Quarey as Senior Executive Cliff Vandercave (Kyle MacLachlan) and secretary Miss Sharon Stone (Halle Berry) plan to swindle the company of its vast fortune and flee, but they need a stooge to take the fall for it. Enter a promotion for Fred. The film stars John Goodman as Fred Flintstone, Rick Moranis as Barney Rubble, Elizabeth Perkins as Wilma Flintstone, and Rosie O'Donnell as Betty Rubble, along with Kyle MacLachlan as an executive-vice president of Fred's company, Halle Berry as his seductive secretary and Elizabeth Taylor, in her final theatrical film, as Wilma's mother.Visually it's impressive, and a lot of the fun things to see are usually little things, often in the background. Goodman is the perfect Fred, whilst Moranis is great as Barney, elsewhere Halle Berry literally steams up the screen she is that hot. Sadly Kyle MacLachlan is in full pantomime villain mode and it's just as well this was Liz Taylor's last movie as she over acts horribly.
GryByteman I agree that this is different from the cartoon, but I like the differences. That doesn't mean I like the cartoons less. I just like them both in different ways.I especially loved the moments where the music sounded just like the cartoon, when they took time to recreate frequently used images from the cartoon series.I'm old enough to remember when Flintstones and Jetsons were a Friday evening prime time staple. Our paperboy would time it so that he'd collect the 57 cent per week subscription rate from my parents just before the shows started, then leave afterward.I look forward to seeing this again in a few years.John
