an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

One of those movie experiences that is so good it makes you realize you've been grading everything else on a curve.

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.

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.

I am not a fan of the Flintstones cartoon. I never found them to be either entertaining or funny. In fact I remember hating the Flintstones, and that hatred still endures. That's a quality hate, the kind that endures for decades. When the movie came out I was baffled as to why it was made, I assumed it was because evil rules the world. Much later when I found the movie for sale on VHS for one dollar, I bought it under the hopes that maybe an ironic viewing might somehow redeem this movie. Irony could not save the Flintstones. My only option left is fire, it's up to fire now to save this movie or destroy it. I believe in the power of fire to right our wrongs.

When Fred (John Goodman) gets promoted, evil sleazy executive Cliff Vandercave (Kyle MacLachlan) sees a stupid patsy to take the blame for his embezzling scheme. First Fred is forced to fire Barney (Rick Moranis), then the rest of the employees. Then he signs all kinds of memos without reading them. It all comes back to haunt him when the embezzling comes to light.This is a live action take on the classic cartoon. I actually like the visual styles. It's got the crazy rock look. But they needed more colors and brighter colors. The story is too serious. Not only is there scheming, but also fighting, firing people, money troubles and kidnapping. It's a children's cartoon. There is too much danger especially for the kids. It needs to be much lighter.
