    I saw this movie. What complete crap! I don't mind the original cartoon, but this movie is so annoying! Very funny jokes, Doug. =)
  • BaltoStephenWinter  - Hollywood. Will you join the uprising?

    Yes, Mr. Critic, fuck Hollywood. Fuck them hard.

    Send That Guy With The Glasses to their studios. Let him laugh as he castrates those that continue to give us shit. Allow him to have torturous sex with the sceneries. Allow him to force the bland actors to deepthroat his dick. Allow him to split the spines of those who believe the American public are a bunch of brainless morons. Rape them, laugh at their misery, don't hold back. Remember that they continue to give us Twlight. Remember they constantly try to throw 3D at us as a term for a bad ass movie, when the movie itself is god awful. Remember Eragon. Remember Avatar The Last Airbender. Remember Twilight.

    Rally to That Guy With The Glasses, viewers. Support his plight against the onslaught of stupidity in visual entertainment. Rally to the three generals; Chester A. Bum, The Nostalgia Critic, and That Guy With The Glasses. Continue the fight. CONTINUE THE FIGHT!!!!!

    ( Others in the battle against Hollywood are
    Linkara, Spoony, The Nostalgia Chick, Angry Joe, Film Brain, Benzai, and many more.)

    Amen...they continue to rape otherwise decent & quality entertainment in order to turn it into horribafuckus shit (did i spell that right NC?)
    i've been saying 'nuke it from orbit, its the only way to be sure' since i was in high school lol...
    lets start again...i've seen independent films done on the most minute budgets that were a MILLION times better than 90% of what hollywood has produced i much of my adult life. (and saying that 10% of what they've made in that time, the last decade or so, has been good...i think is being MIGHTY generous...but then i'm extremely picky)

    You can't blame Hollywood for Twilight's failure. The books was so poorly written and impossible to read without the use of alcohol that even if was a good adaptation of the movie was made, you'd have to be a diehard fangirl (or fanboy =_= ) to enjoy something like that.
  • kyuuketsuki
    Oh yes I can blame them for the failure of Twilight... It is basic logic... God awful book, with god awful writing, being made into a movie adaptations, and we all know that movie adaptations are always worse than the book counterparts... How could that EVER be good? That's right! IT CAN'T! They should have smelled the shit that was being produced from the first page of the screen play as it was being printed out of the screenwriter's house or office. It probably stunk for miles... They knew what was coming... and they LET IT HAPPEN. It is like allowing m night shyamalan to write anything! We know the guy can't write and what ever he writes/directs will inevitably be horrible... But they allow it to happen anyway! SCREW HOLLYWOOD!
  • Fangheart

    can't agree with you more right there. personally I blame Hollywood for the Twilight fad a SHIT load more than I blame Myer. it's Hollywood's fault! all of it! well....okay, maybe not all of it, but 95% of it is! not only is everything Kyuuketsuki completely true, but if it wasn't for Hollywood, Twilight wouldn't even be popular! it WASN'T popular until the stupid movie came out. it was just some freaky sex dream diary of a fat horny emotional-masochist. and it should have stayed that way, and it would have it wasn't for Hollywood.
  • DangerousLoki
    Actually the book was popuplat long before the movie came out. Hence why the movie was made. It was and I believe still is on the best sellers list. The movie wasn't released until after the final book in the series had already been published and released.

    Hollywood like anyone else is just trying to make a living. Twilight isn't the fault of Hollywood. Blame all the idiot Twilight fans who convinced them there was a market for it.

    That said, Hollywood does make many horrible movies but they make good ones. So, it is what it is. For as bad as Twilight is, it could be worse. It could be Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Or The Room. Or any other of a dozen horrible movies.

    Honestly, the Twilight movie isn't even that horrible of a movie. It's certainly a bad movie, with over exagerated characters, poor acting, and a horribly contrived story. They should have spent more time adapting Amelia Atwater-Rhodes work to a movie then that shlock. But I disgress. The point is, the movie is bad but not as bad as most try to make it out to be.

    Umm, yeah, that IS retarded. I don't know who gave the thumbs down, but just because of a generic reply? How is anyone going to have a unique special snowflake reply on here? The majority of us are all thinking the same thing she happened to actually type out. What the hell?

    You also get more thumbs down if you complain about getting thumbs down. Observe:

    I think it's because you posted first. They always go after the first: They must punish you for getting there first. Yeah, I know it doesn't make any sense, but hey, it's the net.
  • Shadow of Intent
    avatar
    They reason they do that is because others see it as an act of tryng to be better than everyone else,being first was created on the sole purpose of telling others the obvious and treating everything like a race,as a natural instinct with most other people,this is punishable by multiple ways,the famous being telling them to "STFU" or "no body cares faggot".

    This is the basic response to being first, it happens to all firsts, even if you don't say "first"

    By the way, I'm glad I found someone who agrees with me about the cartoon. It annoyed me especially after the obnoxious canned laughter was added. Same for The Jetsons. If I ever find that there was a live-action Jetsons movie, I am going to freak out.
  • Jackass Mask
    avatar
    Poor Harvey Korman. Remember when he had good acting jobs? Sad to say he also reappeared in the sequel. May he rest in peace knowing that we will remember the good, not the bad.

    Whip! Stir! Whip! Stir! (or not)

    The only question on my mind is how many times Rob would quote Dune lines during the making and writing of this review. Must have been a long and fearful experience. Just remember:

    I must not fear.
    Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear.
    I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
    And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
    Only I will remain.

    What I must wonder now is if the sequel (which I've seen and found mind-numbingly boring) is on Doug's hit list for a future review (even if it isn't in the next batch of reviews).

    Also, yay, credits!

    The sequel was in 2000. So, Doug is safe...for now.

    Spielberg's latest opus. He combines his nose for commercial properties with his integrity as a chronicler of the holocaust: FLINTSTONES LIST.
    Liam Neeson as Fred

    I like this movie it wasn't that bad watching it as a kid

  • BenjaminBupkus
    avatar
    If you were a fan of the original show, you shouldn't be; they were the best parts of the movie. Even though it was quite obviously fan service for people who grew up watching the Flintstones.
  • The Rocketeer
    Wow, a little harsh if you ask me. I mean, it was a pretty good faithful adaptation of a fun cartoon that wasn't really known for great subject manner.
    "Plot line not explained very well?!" Did you skip the scene where Barney is trying to get Bam Bam to say, "Da da," but he keeps saying his own name instead? Pay attention!

    I found the first movie to be OK for a first attempt TBH. But it makes me wonder, where the hell is the live action Jetsons movie.

    But if you want a DOWNRIGHT ATROCIOUS Flintstones live action movie...

    AGREE, I actually liked the first Flintstones movie as a kid, but Viva Rock Vegas I always hated. such a bad movie.
  • DylanS
    avatar
    He didn't like the first movie, so chances are he never even saw Flintstones in Viva SUCK Vegas. Maybe Mike-J can tackle that one, but as far as sequels go, that was a shameful as they come.
  • whatever42
    avatar
    Oh, why did you have to bring up the sequel? I had nearly banished all rememberence of that movie from my brain, and now all the awful is rushing back. No matter how I felt about this movie, that one was just ... T_T

    Seriously though, I was never a big fan of The Flintstones either, so the movie didn't really click with me. I could see that many things from the show were translated into the movie, so credit has to be given to the creators for making it true to the source material. No one can fault them for not being very accurate. Still, I was just generally uninterested in the movie. I didn't hate it and I didn't like it.

    Your review was quite funny. As soon as you focused on the monkey, I knew what was coming. There wasn't too much else to precisely pin down as funny; it was just overall entertaining. Nice job Doug. =D
  • LeDuc89

    Yes, lets not forget that one. Unfortunately it was made after 2000

    Noooooooo! Don't say that too loud. D8 Hollywood might hear you and actualy make a live action film of The Jetsons and it'll suck just as badly!

    i would totally watch a live-action Jetsons movie.

    but mostly because i want to know who would play George.

    Ah Steven Baldwin, where are you now?

    Whoa, I'm not the only one who hates the Flintstones! I never did like them, with all the cheesy jokes, predictable plots, and backgrounds that repeat themselves as if they're trying to hypnotize me into starting my car with my bloody feet.

    I hated this movie growing up, but at least it was better than the sequel! Dear God in Heaven that movie sucked more balls than Elton John, Neil Patrick Harris, and Lance Bass put together!

    And you're right! Pebbles Flintstone DOES look like the Olsen Twins! Well caught, and great gag with the Full House Music!

    I love all the Dune jokes too! Those are awesome. The riding the sand worms made me laugh.
  • Dusk
    Ahh, the Flintstones movie. Didn't leave much of an impression on me. I was just, meh.

  • QueensNYC2021
    I used to like this movie as a kid, but now it's just way to punny and bland. And yes, Viva Rock Vegas makes this look like much better things Speilberg has put his name on.

    Also o_O at "I Quit" Doug...
  • melgibson
    Oh come on, some of the scenes with the mother-in-law weren't all that bad.
  • ? TurboPunz ?
    avatar
    While I disagree with you on the show, the movie was indeed terrible. If Barney was so smart, you think he'd figure out that his friend was a dumbass, and therefore switching the tests would get him fired.

    Was that really Doug with the "I QUIT" paint?

    I don't blame your attitude towards the cartoon, I have not all that fond feelings towards Hanna-Barbera cartoons myself.

    I thought John Goodman was the perfect Fred though.

    And nice use of the Winston commercial.
  • Surfermario1
    Why is it that we have 2 live action Flintstones movies but no live action Jetsons movie?
  • D Buck

    Wait a few years. There's one coming.

    Love the review. I'll admit that the Flintstones were a little bland, but I still enjoyed watching it.

    The movie, however, not so much.
  • ttime23  - STOP! DON'T DO IT!!
    I don't know if my first post on here actually made it, so I'll make my plea again:
    o_O Please stop!! I can understand everyone's curiosity towards a film about the future counterparts of the Flinstones, but stop mentioning it!! It's like saying, "Beetlejuice" three times! YOU'LL REGRET MENTIONING IT! SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!! T_T
  • FieldMarshalPatton^3
    i agree with your review of the movie.....BUT YOUR OPINION OF THE CARTOON ANGERS ME JUST AS MUCH AS WHEN THE MAKO FANS SAW THE TMNT REVIEW, sure they promoted smoking in the 60's but then again everyone did promote smoking...YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU JERK!
  • DylanS
    avatar
    Yeah, he won't let the "Winstone Cigarocks" thing go. However, the Nostalgia Critic's opinion is just that, HIS OPINION. Now in some cases, he may bash a movie, but in real life he may like it. Cinema Snob loves Caligula and he's presently picking it to pieces. Doug Walker is entitled to his opinions, as we all are, and we may not always agree. I didn't agree with him here, but I still found the review enjoying and pretty funny.
  • Alice the Rabbit
    I never noticed some of the visual gags in this movie till now. Too bad they're as lame as the movie is, both currently and back then.

    And holy crap, I had no idea the villain was Paul Atriedes! That made me love the Dune jokes as a result.
  • DylanS
    avatar
    I must respectfully disagree with the Critic's views on this one, though I am grateful he didn't bash it TOO harshly. I do agree, however, with the plot inconsistencies he pointed out, mostly involving Cliff's plan and I like that he didn't focus too much on Rosie O'Donnell as Betty, which is what I was afraid he was going to build the whole review around.

  • waterguyroks

    Oh my God, Critic. I thought I was the only one that really disliked the Flintstones. It was just so BORING. Also, yeah it was pretty cool about the appliances being all prehistoric.
  • Rockabore
    avatar
    I liked that Doug admitted he doesn't like a show that a lot of people care for. Even though I liked Flintstones I gotta say it is very dated in it's techniques and they did use the same jokes and stuff. Plus when you're older you notice how basic the plots of old cartoons were. For example, I actually liked the old Scooby-Doo a LOT as a kid but even then I kinda found that the repetitiveness of the stories and gags boring and now I find it hard to watch the run-of-the-mill "you meddling kids" hard to tolerate because it's so predictable.

    At least in Flintstones there were hijinks that Fred did and it wasn't always predictable BUT the original run of Scooby-Doo ALWAYS had a loser in a mask that got foiled after half-assed investigation with obvious clues. The jokes get reused and weren't very impressive. And as much as people hate Scrappy at least they TRIED to add something to mix stuff up by adding an overeager twerp. It baffles me how anyone would rather the same stuff to something that makes it less obvious that they recycle scripts but change the location and mask the bad guy has.

    I should say that I like the newer Scooby-Doo cartoon movies because they tried to make the monsters real and interesting and the What's New Scooby-Doo cartoon series wasn't half-bad. 13 Ghosts was an interesting series too, but I will never get why anyone who's older would want to watch the first bunch of episodes that had the same thing every time.

    He will never review anything Dragon Ball related. He did review the first Pokémon movie. He will never again review anything Pokémon related.
