Sequel Month isn't coming around again. NC has a different theme each year for January.

Ugh. This was terrible. I also did like first flinstones movie but effects were wasted on bad movie. I do disagree about cameo at the end movie. That is nice touch you see sometimes that goes back at least stan lee and jack kirby not being allowed in Reed and Sue wedding.

Only thing I liked about this movie was the cameo of Duran Duran Bassist John Taylor.
When you saw Gazoo were you also expecting him to at one point say "Damn straight, Troy my man!"?

I was hoping someone on the site would review this film. I remember seeing this film in the theatre. I also like the first Flintstones movie, but this film I forgot most to everything of it after seeing it.
My mind was also on WHY mode after knowing that Steven Baldwin played Barney. Damn you, "Bio-Dome."
3:09- I know how you feel, dude. =(
9:26- Good thing John Cho went on to play Harold in "Harold and Kumar" and Sulu in J.J. Abrams' Star Trek.
15:05- As a fully grown adult, I realize how stupid that moment is.
Great review, Mike.

Wow I was lucky I saw it on video tape!
Oh it could've been worse! What if Steven Baldwin?
3:09-SO ALONE!!
9:26-And drunken guy in the American Pie movies!

Excellent as always. So... what's that 'Forever Alone' about?
-
11.11.2011 - 23:38 | BooRatI totally agree with you on this one! I love the origional mostly becaus eI was little when it came out and it's the Nostalgia there! But, this one I only saw it once and I hate it! It's just so unintereating! I normally like prequals but this is the one I could've lived without! If anything the one I'd like to see is a live action version of the later years of the Flintstones like when Pebbles and Bambam were teens! that'd be something they could do now-a-days!

Why the memes?

I actually saw this in theaters, a friend often to pay for me, and I said what the hell.
I don't think I hated it, it was just meh, just like you said Mike, it's really unnecessary.

I was waiting for SOMEBODY to get on this thing! The first movie was not a good movie per say, but was still ended up being a pretty okay flick overall and I wouldn't mind watching it once again for old time's sake but THIS was so bad that I only watched it once and almost couldn't finish it; the humor is juvenile and the plot way too predictable.
And I don't care what anybody says, Stephen Baldwin had NO business playing Barney.
-

Rosie O'Donnell got the part simply because she nailed the laugh.
-
11.12.2011 - 01:12 | GunwildUh, Mike, mate, I love everything you do but you spelled "Flintstones" incorrectly.
-
11.12.2011 - 02:18 | Chosen Zelos
I ... I don't see the reason to hate Stephen Baldwin in this. Granted, I'm not a big fun of him, but I thought he did a pretty decent Barney. The voice was just right. I mean, I love Rick Moranis, but I wasn't buying him as Barney.
Also I liked Gazoo ... though, that's probably cuss the very first episode of The Flinstones I ever saw was the one where they introduced Gazoo, so, that's entirely left for me to be, I guess, at fault.
All in all, I feel people are a little harsh towards this film. Harsh for an actual in depth look like how most people on this site review things.
Eh, could be just nostalgia kicking in.

Why you so meme?

YES , I thought we'll never see another Shameful Sequels episode , glad you didn't disappoint. ^^
the Rage faces were a nice touch (especially the "Forever Alone" face. XD ) , but you shouldn't have relayed on them too much , it makes you look too lazy to come up with original jokes.
other then that , I enjoyed your review , keep it up! ^^

When is the Jetsons movie coming out?

This movie was pretty good. It holds a special place in my classic and cheesy as all hell movie collection. Lets pray they don't try to remake/make another and mess it up.

Great review! MikeJ still has got it
-
11.12.2011 - 10:54 | CarlosRIV232
yeah

I'm not sure if you have done this one yet, but this is a sequel that is shameful, shamelessly tries to plug as many references and bullshit tie-ins as possible and we sure as hell don't need it. Easily one of the WORST sequels I have ever seen to one of my most favorite and in my opinion overlooked and under appreciated movies ever. American Psycho. Believe it or not, there actually IS a American Psycho 2. It's one of those movies that is so bad and so disrespectful to the original you just have to see it to believe it. Would love to see you rip American Psycho 2 a new one Mike... it deserves it for even attempting to cash in on a better movie with something so ridiculous and just plain stupid.

Both first one and this sequal are just bad and this one is just little bit worse.

11.12.2011 - 06:20 | shampali
good to see you back mike

The actors for Fred and Barny in the sequel can’t hold a candle to the Fred and Barny in the original film!
-
11.12.2011 - 08:36 | MikeJ
Mark Addy is ok, but Stephen Baldwin is nothing compared to Moranis!
-
11.12.2011 - 06:42 | ScreamingDoomWait, even if Fred proposes to Wilma, aren't both he and Barney still fugitives? Why is their grand theft pearl forgiven by the law?
...
I really shouldn't be thinking about this, should I?
-
11.12.2011 - 08:01 | naomiwashburn
Did anyone else point out that Betty is ALSO played by a sitcom actress? I forget her real name, but she plays Jenna on 30 Rock.
Great review, even if I didn't get all the memes. :-)
-
Jane Krakowski- she started out on Ally McBeal, which yes, i did watch, it is a legal drama, or that's how i saw it.
i liked everyone more than Ally!
-
11.12.2011 - 09:33 | AkaiGlad I passed over this crap. The original cartoon took itself a lot more seriously than this.
-
11.12.2011 - 11:20 | n00bdragonThe Forever Alone face was funny. After that the adding meme faces just felt forced and unfunny, which is sad because I was usually laughing right up until the meme face hit the screen. You're killing perfectly good jokes! Just let the line itself be funny without the added visual.
-

The writers have never watched the cartoon.
Wilma was never rich. They met because both Freddy and Wilma were looking for someone rich to marry so they could live on easy street. Both groups pretended to be rich. When they found out the truth, they didn't care by then ad got married anyway.
Come to think about it, it may have been a double wedding. I'm not certain.
-
I've never seen less likable actors in a film. Seriously, someone should do something about the existence of these people.

11.12.2011 - 12:45 | Morgoth BauglirThere's Shameful Sequels, and then there's...Painful Prequels.

I'm sorry, but is it really so bad to ask for originality in a show based on making fun of other people for their lack of originality? Now you're popping random badly drawn faces over yourself every time you make a joke. Yes I know it's an internet mime but... well that's the essence of being unoriginal if you think about it. The faces felt like a laugh track gag thrown in because you didn't think your jokes were funny enough to stand on their own. Seriously, does anyone get those faces? Does no on else see they're just horribly drawn blobs? Who even knows the origin of that joke?
-
11.12.2011 - 18:24 | Morgoth BauglirIt's called a Trollface.
-
11.12.2011 - 22:40 | Jellyott
I'm sorry...an "internet..." what? Just because the faces are white and don't say anything doesn't make them mimes, you racist.
And yes, tons of people get those faces. It's called 4chan, or reddit. You must be bad at the internet.
