I thought this movie would be terrible,but when i saw it I loved it. It was very funny. I also like Rosie Odonnell as Betty. John Goodman was a good Fred,Elizibeth Perkins was a wonderful Wilma,and Rick Moranis was very good as Barney.But my favorite charactar is the dicta-bird.

"The Flintstones" is a visually strong adaptation of the animated series, but it suffers the same weak spots that most of the cartoon-based movies have. The TV episodes are 20 minutes long, they have small stories that work well for TV, but a movie is usually between 90 and 120 minutes, so when the writers try to stretch the anecdotes of a TV episode, usually it feels too forced and schematic.
But in this kind of movies, the viewer is willing to forgive the holes in the plot, if the visual style of the movie matches the visual style of the original material, and thankfully to all the fans of the cartoon, this movie is delightful to see. The sets are an exact representation of the houses and buildings that the cartoon shows. The creatures are very funny and every creature in the movie works as a prehistoric representation of our modern machines.
Most of the cast feels right, John Goodman looks like a solid Fred Flintstone, Elizabeth Perkins is as pretty and smart as the original Wilma Flintstone, Rick Moranis is a good representation of Barney Rubble, Dann Florek looks exactly the same as the Mr. Slate that we can see in the cartoon and Halle Berry looks gorgeous as the sexy secretary Miss Stone. But what were they thinking when they cast Rosie O'Donnell as Betty Rubble? I mean, in the TV series Betty is pretty and dynamic, but this Betty looks like she ate too many brontosaurus, when I saw her I thought that she was already pregnant with Bam-Bam.
"The Flintstones" throw jokes at the slightest provocation, some of them are clever and some of them are just plain silly, but once again, the set designs, the creatures and some jokes are good enough to make "The Flintstones" an amusing movie.

THE Flintstones is a good movie. It's about two families who live in Bedrock. Fred Flintstone (John Goodman) and Barney Rubble (Rick Moranis) work in a quarry. One of the VPs of Slate and Company Cliff Vandercave (Kyle MacLachlan) and his accomplice Sharon Stone (Halle Berry) plan to steal a fortune from Slate and Company. They plan to frame Bedrock's loudest, most lovable resident, Fred. He bcomes an executive for the company, and he and Wilma taste the lifestyle of the rich and prehistoric. Cliff kidnaps Fred's daughter, Pebbles (Elaine and Melanie Silver) and Bamm-Bamm (Hlynur and Marino Sigurdsson). Fred and Barney save the day and Cliff gets concrete dumped on him. Miss Stone goes to jail. It's a movie the whole family can enjoy.

Halle Berry in prehistoric times...if it were true I'd have loved to have been there. The movie is entertaining for the whole family. It's an amusing movie but the highlight for me was the sexy seductress, miss Sharon Stone...played by the most beatiful women in all of hollywood, Miss Halle Berry. The movie gets 3 stars...Halle gets 5:)

I love The Flintstones, in any shape or form that I can see them. I remember wonderful memories of watching them on TV with my children and now with my grandchildren and I was delighted when the movie came out, I was not disappointed!
John Goodman is great as Fred,rough around the edges but yet
quite loveable! The casting was great, the scenery was great, everything about this movie was just plain fun! That is what it's all about and what it should be about! Fred gets in trouble, Barney bails him out! Simple! Fun! Entertaining!
