You'll find it very hard to find a live-action movie rendition of an animated series that does a better job of capturing the feeling of the cartoon that this movie manages to contain! The set locations, props, special effects, and miscellaneous tools used within the movie all look like vintage stone age high tech, the plot is grade-A and is carried out magnificently by the actors and actresses picked to portray the Modern Stone Age Family. John Goodman is the heart of soul of all that Fred Flintstone is; Elizabeth Perkins is perfect as the red-haired hot wife Wilma who takes no nonsense no matter what Fred tries to tell her otherwise, Rick Moranis does a superb job of acting as the well-meaning, but often trouble-making neighbor that is Barney Rubble; Rosie O'Donnell is great as the warm and caring Betty Rubble who wants to be a loving mother to her adopted child; Elizabeth Taylor has rarely ever been better than in her last big-budget movie appearance ever, as Fred's insufferable Mother-In-Law, Pearl; Kyle Maclachlan plays the role of a scheming, greedy tycoon named Cliff Vandercave; while Halle Berry is the charming, seductive accomplice named Sharon Stone; Harvey Korman provides hilarious voice-work as the Dicta-bird who tries to provide advice to Fred Flintstone, Johnathan Winters has a surprising bit part as an out-of work Rock Quarry worker, and original cartoon series alums William Hanna, Jean Vanderpyl, and Joseph Barbera (sometimes omitted) even make cameo appearances! If you want to have a Yabba-Dabba-Doo time watching a big, live-action movie version of a cartoon series, than this is the movie to watch! Fun for children and adults of all ages! :D Enough said, true believers! ;)

Cartoonish live-action fun with well cast cast.

You'd get a better story watching old Flintstones reruns.

While the movie may act like a madeleine for television-obsessed baby-boomers, it works even better as a colorful playland that will appeal to small children.

If you spend the whole running time picturing Halle Berry nude on a sabertooth-tiger rug, The Flintonstones isn't so bad.

Not as bad as you'd think, but that's not saying much.

Adults should be forewarned: Yabba-dabba-don't go unless you have to.

Dismal, awful, excruciatingly unfunny - and I loved the cartoons growing up.

It's just a series of nicely shot and over-bright sets with the cast blocking your view of the background.

Just watching it is fun. Following the plot is not so much fun.

Maybe it's because so many of the things they do in the movie are lifted directly from the show, but a lot of stuff seems stale.

Some thirty six screenwriters made sure that the plot of the film is lame, original characters one-dimensional, and many elements of the story, like embezzlement and inter-office politics, totally incomprehensible for the little children.

The first time around, The Flintstones' visuals are a light-hearted kick, but there's nothing more to do.

As asinine as Hollywood gets, only destined to see at least one sequel.

So silly and sophomoric, despite a few amusing bits of business, that it is recommendable only for kids -- and curious Flintstones fanatics.
