There are still some pretty funny lines and gags.

As entertainment for kids, or for adults, it misjudges its audience by at least a millennium.

The first live-action movie of The Flintstones in 1994 was a Tyrannosaurus wreck, a production design in search of a story. Now director Brian Levant has made a prequel ... that's almost as dumb.

Um, no surprises here. Better than the original.

This is one of the worst movies I have seen. The only good choice in my books is Mark Addy playing the character he was obviously genetically engineered for (still, no John Goodman). This film is absolutely terrible, a film which you would want to avoid like the plague. The plague carried in little bowls by Satan's
