Plot:
This pleasant, lightweight live-action version of the popular cartoon is about as good as you might expect. The kids should love the broad humor and the Henson Studios creatures, but like The Addam...( read more 
) movies, the look and the cast are the best things going for it. Considering that the nature of the material is so sparse, the thinly plotted story works better than other TV-to-movie fare. Our fabulous Stone Age man is promoted per a calculated move by a scheming exec (Kyle MacLachlan, whose casting ensured at least one cute guy). As a comedy, the humor is one-note and flat for anyone older than 12. The special-effects creatures look wondrous, though not as seamless as in other movies, such as in Roger Rabbit. The most joyous moments come during the full-scale re-creations of the famous credits. The Flinstones provided a major launching pad for Halle Berry as a vamping secretary. --Doug Thomas

MCT:May 6, 2008I'm not sure if I'd hold the same opinion of it today, but when I first saw it, it became what I now consider an old favorite.

MCT:April 30, 2008It's the flinstones' live action movie and... that's it, but come on, everybody knows that any effort to turn the flinstones into live action will have a regular or a bad result, let's thank God it was regular.

The cartoon is better, but this was a okay movie to watch. This is more a kids movie then adult movie.

Trouble is there is no way any live action production could touch the brilliance of the cartoon, whose magic is dependent upon the time and the creative talent that existed for that series. There have been updates and revisions and like this live action adaptations but the lightning is out of the jar.
Good casting though for the 2 leads of Barney and Fred everything else is just far enough off that it just doesn't feel right. -

Not too bad for a cartoon to live action adaption. Though I personally feel the Rubbles were misscast. I liked the actors for them in the second movie more.
