UNDERRATED?
This movie isn't a classic but 4.5/10.

what did they did to my childhood fantasy crush is unexcusable and ruined all the special memories that other people have of their childhood tv crushes...casting rosie o'donnell as betty rubble is like asking jack black to pose for a new venus of milo painting-
sharei also think thes movie is underrated, i put it int eh same catagory as pluto nash, incredible sets that bring a fantasy world to life, the acting is on par and the plot is ok. its not a great movie but its not a 4.5

Just wanted to point out the Flintstones cartoon was from the 1960's, not the 1950's. The series ran from 1960 to 1966.
sharei think the problem with making a movie from a cartoon is that Fred, Barney and Wilma and Betty have been etched into my mind as a child. Nobody was ever going to be able to make a movie work because of the characters and how most people remember them.
The movie tries its best, does not take itself seriously and for some children it may entertain. Problem that I see is that most young children were not brought up on flintstones so the excitement is not as great for them. And for adults (my comments above stand).
There have been worse movies made by far. But this one was forgetable for me.
I've been watching this for 30 minutes.... and have to agree with your post in its entireity.
shareaside from the whole betty rubble = rosie
this movie was awesome.
Funny, I also put it into the same category as "Pluto Nash", but for different reasons than you.
shareI agree! I had some good chuckles! Really liked it and gave it a solid 7. Also watched Hot Rod with Andy Samberg which was horrible and had an IMDB rating of 7 something (generously gave it a 5)! But hey Trump just got elected so there's no accounting for taste.
sharethe venus de milo wasn't a painting.
