Summary: A couple good actors in a weak production
Review: I've been a Flintstones fan since I was a little kid. (a long time!) So I was dissapointed by this movie. The producers tried too hard to make it the ultimate feel-good movie. The Flintstones overflowed with goofy sentimentality to the point of being sickenly sweet. Halfway through the movie I was ready to vomit pure sugar. I did like the scenery. It reproduces the bright colors and fanciful stone age setting of the cartoon series. John Goodman and Rick Moranis did a good job trying hard to salvage the sappy script they were given. I would have liked to have seen anyone other than Rosie O'donnell in this film. Who told her she could act? One other thing I found strange was Halle Berry with her 1990's buzzcut hairstyle. Her look is definately not the kind of style I would expect to see in a film that is set in the stone age.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: If Satan made a movie, this is it.
Review: Law of film #1; never, ever under any circumstances assume that an annoying cartoon will do good as a live-action movie. John Goodman, who is a talented and funny actor, should have realized that.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Yabba-Dabba-Doo-Doo!
Review: One would think that after "Popeye", Hollywood would have stopped trying to adapt cartoons to live action features, but apparently someone didn't get the word in time. If nothing else, this film proves beyond all doubt that "Popeye" wasn't as bad as it gets. It is no great shock to see Rick Moranis and Rosie O'Donnell in this film, as both have proven time and again that they will take on any available role, no matter how awful, for a buck, but it is particularly sad to see a talented actor like John Goodman mixed up in something this bad. It is boring, pointless, and a complete waste of time. Stick to the cartoons, and avoid this mess.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: 3 Best Parts - Halle Berry! Halle Berry! Halle Berry!
Review: Other than the Brady Bunch movie, I have seen few TV-to-Silver Screen migrations that were worth any stars. The Flintstones is one other notable exception. OK, it isn't King Lear, the story is weak and the acting is wooden, but it does have its moments. (Mind you, most of those moments involve the sensuous portrayal of Ms. Stone by then-newcomer Halle Berry).

Speaking of, the lovely Ms. Berry plays a character that was never in the cartoon and yet, for me, she steals the show. Just watching her slithering across Fred's desk does wonders for my blood flow....and at my age, anything that keeps the corpuscles churning is more than welcome. I was around when the cartoon first aired on network TV as a prime time show. (Talk about your basic dinosaur).

Seriously, though, watching the live-actors version of the venerable cartoon and expecting it to BE the cartoon is foolhardy. What you have to watch for are the subtleties such as what's happening in the background and the sly and sometimes esoteric references to classic episodes. All cartoons defy the laws of physics and so one must try to appreciate how the crew tackles the logistics of replicating an 'impossible' event.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is an EXCELLENT MOVIE
Review: THE Flintstones is a good movie. It's about two families who live in Bedrock. Fred Flintstone (John Goodman) and Barney Rubble (Rick Moranis) work in a quarry. One of the VPs of Slate and Company Cliff Vandercave (Kyle MacLachlan) and his accomplice Sharon Stone (Halle Berry) plan to steal a fortune from Slate and Company. They plan to frame Bedrock's loudest, most lovable resident, Fred. He bcomes an executive for the company, and he and Wilma taste the lifestyle of the rich and prehistoric. Cliff kidnaps Fred's daughter, Pebbles (Elaine and Melanie Silver) and Bamm-Bamm (Hlynur and Marino Sigurdsson). Fred and Barney save the day and Cliff gets concrete dumped on him. Miss Stone goes to jail. It's a movie the whole family can enjoy.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I really enjoyed it!
Review: The Flintstones is light-hearted, and very entertaining, and sometimes that is all films are meant to do, entertain! The first thing I noticed about this film was that it had a GREAT CAST: Rosie O'Donnell, John Goodman, Halle Berry, and Kyle MacLachlan. I really also enjoyed this film because it is something that you can watch as a family. I was never a fan of the old TV show, but I LOVED this movie. I saw it on TV, and I am going to buy this DVD very soon! Watch it, you will enjoy it! Also, don't think it is "a kids movie", adults can enjoy it, too! 4 stars (****) for THE FLINTSTONES!!!!!!!!!!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: A Bad Version Of The Flintstones
Review: The reason I gave this movie two stars was because, it was a waste of time, and nothing good even happened. Still, it's an okay movie. Not that bad for the family. Kids might think it's pretty funny.

If there's anything I can tell you, I'd say, "the choice is yours". Rent it if you like. It's up to you.
