Barney's Great Adventure (1998)

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This movie helped the world process. this movie just touched my heart so much i need to tell the world.This beautiful dinosaur has shown kids around the world how to live and act anyone who acts the in a way this dinosaur doesn't like i will hunt them down and murder their families.The plot is amazing and innovative.Oh the songs OOOHHH THE SONNGS.they are the greatest piece of art to exist ever. this movie should be the bible.anyone who has not seen this movie is missing out on living a meaningful life.

I know this is a kids film but I have to judge it from my own perspective:Oh, the horror, the horror. I will be dreaming nightmares about this big purple #&@$%½£ (the kind of strong language that this deserves is forbidden on IMDb). I never saw Barney the *beep* *beep* dinosaur before but good God is he annoying. His squeaky voice, the stupid look on his face and the conceited morals about dreams and whatnot that he keeps shoving in your face all come together to form an incredibly obnoxious whole. Added to this is the fact that the gigantic stuffed animal has an ability to disappear like he's a *beep beep* ninja. It's like no reasonable grown up (crazy circus people don't count) never see him until the end of the film and tat really pisses me off. One of the kids even says that he wouldn't just disappear but, guess what kid, he just goes away when you need him the most. The contrived plot, poor visual effects and so on are nothing compared to Barney himself. After seeing this I have come to fear for our future, I believe kids to be smarter than this, seeing Barney the dinosaur at an early age will probably dumb the kids down until the only possible future is that of Idiocracy (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387808/).The film ends with Barney singing "I love you, you love me, we're a happy family. With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you, won't you say you love me to?"My reply: NO!

Utter Crap. First of all, when I was a kid, I used to enjoy Barney when it aired on PBS. Nowadays, I can't believe how moronic this movie is. The plot is nothing more than a lot of bore. The characters are all babyish. Cody is the least favorite 'cause I think he's a jerk. In the beginning, his sister and her best friend act like a couple of mini-teenagers. And Barney, YES Barney, is, pardon my language, the crappiest crap in the history of crap if it were dumped on by a pile of horse crap, the crap will be too heavy if you try to pick up the crap with a crap scooper. If you want something that defines the meaning of the word "adventure", Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom would be an excellent choice. I'm sure it's got more action(and I mean it!) than "Barney's Greatest Adventure". -100 stars out of 100.

I can consider the fact that children are children and they will love what they love because it entertains them. I know this is a kid's film and all, based on a somewhat treasured children's show and I am actually cutting it slack by rating it a 2, honestly, because once you have seen the film, you will understand why so many realize how terrible it really is and why they feel the need to criticize it so hardly.First of all, I wasn't expecting it to be anywhere near good anyway, but I wasn't thinking this would be the worst movie ever either, and it wasn't, because surprisingly I have seen worse, but it is pretty freaking bad. I found myself laughing at it's utter stupidity, and that's really not the good kind of enjoyment when it boils down to the main point, and I was criticizing all the characters just for the heck of it; they were so bland and annoying that I balled my hands into fists at times. The story plot is stupid, characters are stupid, entertainment level is anything but low, just because you're so interested in how horrible it is, but bad, crappy, terrible, horrible and horrendous still all perfectly describe this movie. Stick to the Walt Disney's for your sake, because children are bound to enjoy one of them at least a little, and it will relieve you of the horror that is Barney, because I feel so sorry for you if your kid asks you to watch this with them.
