Watch The Flintstones For Free

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Wow! Such a good movie.

Good movie but grossly overrated

Absolutely the worst movie.

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

If there's such a thing as a perfect movie, The Flintstones is it. It's absolutely hilarious, with no downtime and no dated jokes. If you've seen the original Hanna Barbara cartoon, you'll probably pee from laughing so hard, and if you haven't, well, you'll still probably pee from laughing so hard. I saw this movie in the theaters when I was a little girl and laughed my head off, thinking it was the first movie to ever make caveman jokes. Just last week, I watched my DVD for the hundredth time and laughed just as hard.John Goodman as Fred Flintstone, Rick Moranis as Barney Rubble, Elizabeth Perkins as Wilma, and Rosie O'Donnell as Betty are all totally perfect. The original song is included at the start and end of the film, and all the throwbacks to the cartoon are side-splittingly funny. Modern touches are incredibly clever and tie in seamlessly to the setting. For example, the Flintstones go to the drive-in movies to watch "Gorge Lucas's Tar Wars", and the band The B-52s guest star in a swanky nightclub as "The BC-52s".In the film, Fred and Wilma help their best friends adopt a child, and in return, Barney helps Fred get a promotion at work. But, as the incredibly dumb Fred moves up the corporate ladder, he just might get duped by the slippery smooth Cliff, played by Kyle MacLachlin, and his secretary, a young Halle Berry who gets her own theme music whenever she walks in the room.It's silly and lovely, and best of all, Elizabeth Taylor puts the finishing touch on the film in her role as Wilma's mom. It's my favorite of her performances; pretty much every one of her lines has become a permanent phrase in my household. If only she'd been given more screen time! But, as she says in the movie, "Let's not let a little thing like that spoil the party—Conga line!"

The Flintstones (1994): Dir: Brian Levant / Cast: John Goodman, Elizabeth Perkins, Rick Moranis, Rosie O'Donnell, Elizabeth Taylor: Here is a huge opportunity to create movie magic and instead a celebrated cartoon is turned into a pathetic showcase. It is claimed that over thirty writers were assigned to the screenplay but I have read instruction booklets that regarded how to put batteries in appliances that were more artistic than this film. Fred Flintstone assists his friend Barney Rubble in adopting Bam Bam and he repays him by switching aptitude tests that will determine who will be Vice-President at Slate Enterprises. This leads to a conspiracy that costs workers their jobs and has Fred on the run. Horrible translation by director Brian Levant whose best asset is the prehistoric production. The screenplay throws in aptitude tests, embezzlement, office politics, fraud, and adoptions that will not interest the intended audience. With that said the characters are given little of a plot. John Goodman and Elizabeth Perkins give it a welcome attempt as Fred and Wilma, but Rick Moranis fails to project Barney's mannerisms, and Rosie O'Donnell hardly looks like Betty although she did deliver on the famous giggle. Elizabeth Taylor as Fred's mother-in-law is another horrible miscast. Thirty writers could not prevent this from becoming an embarrassing prehistoric failure. Score: 3 / 10

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.
