Davis P This live action version of the classic animated TV show is fun and family friendly overall. It's kind of like Scooby Doo (2002) in the way that it's not G rated, it's got some adult references, especially involving Berry's character. But the references really aren't explicit and I still think that all families will really enjoy this film. The casting for all the roles is just perfect. John Goodman is a great choice for Fred. Rosie O'Donnell is great as Betty. I loved Elizabeth Perkins in the role of Wilma. And Rick Moranis is a very good Barney. And of course we can't leave out the great late Elizabeth Taylor who plays Wilma's mother. The script is very much like other live action versions of TV shows, it involves a greedy villain who's after nothing but money. I really like Halle Berry in her seductive secretary/bad guy role. The visuals are done well, the shots are all very true to the original show. Adults may enjoy this and I still enjoy watching it, but a family setting is probably the best audience for this movie. It's just good fun, nothing that great or Oscar winning, but it'll make a fairly fun movie night. 7/10.
studioAT Somewhere along the line there must have been a fascination to see what would happen if cartoons were turned into live action films. That must be the reason we ended up with Popeye (with Robin Williams) and this take on 'The Flinstones' with John Goodman.It's actually a successful attempt, and the film remains a regular fixture on TV. There are enough little nods to the cartoon, while a feasible story is being told.Goodman is better as Fred than Moranis is as Barney, but there's enough sweetness to keep this film on track.Nothing will top the cartoon, but this is an honest attempt.
d-millhoff This wouldn't be worth 7 stars if it weren't a product of PERFECT casting and wasn't so necessary.What I mean, is that in the early 90's, in the midst of a trend of movies based on classic TV shows, someone had an idea, and with John Goodman virtually personifying Fred Flintstone and dead-on talent around for Barney and the rest of the character, CGI technology mature enough to create convincing cartoon dinosaurs, and the Vasquez rocks only 40 miles away, it HAD to be done, the folks at Amblin and Universal just wouldn't be able to live with themselves if they didn't.So it was a matter of cramming as many gags and jokes as possible into an hour and a half without betraying the spirit of the original cartoons.And to that end, it's a moderate success. It cold have been funnier, there was plenty of room for improvement, but they were faithful top the look and feel and spirit of the cartoon, and like I said, it just HAD to be done.I seriously doubt the directors and producers could have forgiven themselves if they passed on this opportunity - I certainly wouldn't have forgiven them.And Mr. Slate naming a new discovery after his daughter, Concretia, remains one of my favorite gags of all time.
Armand 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.
