The Flintstones (1994)

Truly Dreadful Film

So much average

Really Surprised!

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

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

The Flintstones (1994) ** (out of 4)John Goodman as Fred Flintstone, Elizabeth Perkins as Wilma Flintstone, Rick Moranis as Barney Rubble and Rosie O'Donnell as Betty Rubble. In this live adaptation of the animated television show, Fred finally gets the job that he's always dreamed of but it's going to come at a cost he might not be willing to pay.If you're old enough then you probably remember having to live through the dark years of theatrical movies. You remember back in the early 90s when various television shows were being put on the big screen. One of the most anticipated ones was THE FLINTSTONES, which came out of nowhere, became a hit and even got a sequel but I don't think there's much to defend here as the film is quite bland.There are a lot of problems with this film but I will say that they got one thing right and that was the casting of Goodman as Fred Flintstone. This here was the perfect choice for the role and Goodman does a terrific job with it. The only problem is that he isn't given anything to work with as the screenplay is quite bland and poor without too many original ideas or laughs.The biggest problem is that the screenplay doesn't have much to do. Fred is given this new job, it causes problems at home, he fights with Barney and then we get to the conclusion. The film certainly looks qutie good as the prehistoric scenery is quite believable but it's all eye candy with nothing to support it. Halle Berry as well as a certain cameo are also good but more of this was needed.

it is not a good or a bad movie. it represents only an exercise to remind the flavor of childhood. the result is decent, the cast is not bad, the special effects almost meritorious. something missing and that fact is the shadow who defines the film. for me, the great surprise and the motif to remember the film is the presence of Elisabeth Taylor. it is only cause for remember that comedy because the role of great Liz is marks the end of a glorious career. sure, John Goodman or Rick Moranis are inspired option for the lead roles but the film has not the gift to impress. maybe, only, to resurrect the memories of childhood. a good thing, at first sigh. a film who remember a legendary animation. almost a homage, almost an easy comedy.but nothing more.
