FLINTSTONES: VIVA ROCK VEGAS review

Wanted: One Bedroom APT in Bedrock. by Flmlvr	Apr 24th, 2000 11:53:14 PM
Good. I'm glad u liked it Harry. Now, I don't feel as stupid for ging to see it opening day.
NO....i dont believe it by Dmann	Apr 24th, 2000 11:58:26 PM
No im not suggesting that anyone is a corporate schill....but Christ almighty, WHY would you even try and get me to see this monkey crap, rooty poo, candy ass movie. Jesus...thats retarded, Flintstones 3??? come on now!
Well I'll be damned.... by angry	Apr 25th, 2000 12:01:02 AM
Not only does it appear that I'm first, but, I was really expecting this movie to completely blow turds. I'm actually kinda tempted to go see it... Date movie?
I can't believe it. by AaronHayden	Apr 25th, 2000 12:10:33 AM
'Nuff said.
HOLY, SCAMOLEY, HARRY! THAT'S GOTTA BE THE LONGEST REVIEW EVER! by Uncapie	Apr 25th, 2000 12:10:56 AM
I'll go see it because of character actor Irwin Keyes. He was in the first one and he's the caveman that gets nailed in the dunk tank. Given the right character, that guy's pretty funny! Oh, and Jack Noseworthy should be cast as "Alfred E. Neuman."
Ha ha ha ha ha! by The Riot	Apr 25th, 2000 12:11:31 AM
I'm sorry.. Just got to laugh when I see Dmann insulting "corporate schills" and then revealing himself as a mindless slave of the WWF corporation as he rattles off some of The Rock's signature phrases. Can't think of a better adjective to use than "rooty poo"?
conceeded by Lazarus Long	Apr 25th, 2000 12:21:54 AM
this film may not be as bad as it looks, but don't forget: when you go into a film with expectations that it will blow goats, it doesn't have to do too much to succeed. Even if it isn't half bad, there are at least 10 other films in wide release that are more worth seeing. Don't line the pockets of the studio scumbags and hacks like Brian Levant. Maybe the first film being a piece of dino doo-doo isn't his fault, but he's still the director of a sequel to a film adaption of a cartoon that never should have been brought to the movie theatre. Loser. No respect.
Did I just read this review correctly? by Cold Fusion	Apr 25th, 2000 12:23:03 AM
Harry must have balls of bedrock. I thought this movie reeked of commercial hack crap. Could it be that it actually has some redeeming qualities? I don't know...there was that Armageddon incident...but I think Harry generally honest and fair most of the time.
Betty Rubble ... by TheWanderer	Apr 25th, 2000 12:25:52 AM
played by Jane Krakowski (Elaine on Ally McBeal). Check. Kristen Johnson (nearly 6ft tall) wearing Wilma's short skirt and red hair. Check. Check. There is nothing more I need know. YABBA-DABBA-DOO!
I don't know by Jotham	Apr 25th, 2000 12:26:51 AM
I'm am going to be very suprised if I like this movie. There is no way I'm going to pay $7.50 see it!!
Best Harry Review in a long time by DoctorDoom	Apr 25th, 2000 12:32:00 AM
For me, the past couple reviews harry has done have been... blah. He just hasn't been doing the setup like he used to, and it's seemed as if he has had other things he would rather be doing than writing the review ('oh yeah, the site has reviews... lessee... gotta get one done...'). But this is the old school review style. Spewing his opinion and all other thoughts related to the movie into a review. Pouring the whole mess inside his head onto a plate for us to read.
Jetsons? by Tajaron	Apr 25th, 2000 12:37:43 AM
Great reviews Harry. Hey here's a question - why haven't they made a Jetsons movie? If that's popular they could do a live-action Flistones meets Jetsons movie.
Daniel 'The Fat Baldwin' Baldwin should have played Fred Flintst by darthpsychotic	Apr 25th, 2000 12:38:26 AM
The Bedrock set reak's of a "theme park"... in Europe.
Good one Harry. by Prankster	Apr 25th, 2000 12:40:52 AM
I'm glad Harry has the cojones to print a good review of a movie everyone "knows" is gonna be crap...don't let the preconceptions stand in your way! Harry's always had the courage to defend easy targets like this one. Now, he doesn't seem to have the courage to bash movies that aren't so good, but hey, I can read every other critic in the world for that. I'm not going to see The Flinstones 2 but I AM going to use it as a barometer for critics...see who has the guts to give it a good review (assuming it is good, which I've heard from others as well) and who's going to give in to snobbiness and preconceptions.
kinda late for an April fool's joke, ain't it? by rjtapper	Apr 25th, 2000 12:47:41 AM
no way could Viva Los Alamos, or whatever, be good at all. I'm sorry, but it just isn't possible. I'd sooner believe Pokemon is American cinema's zenith. And why is Wilma played by a man?
WIIIILLLMMAAAAAA!!!, FUCK OFF! OH, HEY BETTY HOW'S IT GOING, YOU by Roger U. Roundly	Apr 25th, 2000 12:50:40 AM
JanesighKrakowskisigh. ...............pheeew!....... I'm running out the door to see this movie in precisly three and a half minutes. PS, expect Barny to be dead in the next sequel. Victim of a love crime. Now, where'd I leave that 357 Magnum?...........!
Betty fetish by Eliot	Apr 25th, 2000 12:54:05 AM
Thanks to Harry's review I can't get a mental picture of him and Betty Rubble going at it out of my head! God damn it! Why did he have to go into so much detail on his Betty fetish?! I close my eyes, and I still see it. Shit! That's all I'm going to be able to think about all night! Some things just weren't intended by nature... it would be like Roseanne Barr & Steve Buscemi going at it. I don't want to see that, but I can't help looking...like a car wreck.
Cheap shot at Star Wars there Harry by Tall_Boy	Apr 25th, 2000 12:54:39 AM
take it back, or else you might have a full scale geek-revolt on your hands. BTW, even if this flick is a good as you say it is, the ads just make it seem like the same BS from the first one with more CGI. It has too much of a bad-rep to overcome it, IMHO. Personally, I flat out can't believe it could happen . . .
Fate, Gazoo and THE IRON GIANT by Todd	Apr 25th, 2000 01:09:24 AM
The acceleration in human technology that would have been gained if THE IRON GIANT had arrived on earth back in the Stone Age is unimaginable. Humans are adaptive and opportunistic, and by having a mechanical model such as THE IRON GIANT so early in our pre-history, the industrial revolution no doubt would have happened hundreds of thousands of years sooner. The benefits that we would have seen today if such an occurrence had happened makes me sad that Fate delivered THE IRON GIANT too us when she did. I am further saddened too because I am sure that He would have received a warmer welcome among the
I believe Harry's sincerity, but... by Dave_F	Apr 25th, 2000 01:48:31 AM
...I've got to wonder how much of the positive energy infusing his review stems solely from the fact that seeing live-action versions of cartoon hotties is a weird sort of consummation of childhood lusting over female cartoon characters? I mean, you can say that the actors playing Fred and Barney were spot on, and the humor was more aimed at adults, whatever, but doesn't it really come down to ogling cartoon girls come to life? Maybe so, and I'm okay with that. Personally, I enjoyed the first Flintstones movie a bit, and I'm pretty sure that Elizabeth Perkins (and that vixen Halle Berry) had a lot to do with it. Now for the record, John Goodman was also great as Fred Flintstone, Kyle MacLachlan perfectly cast as the oily boss, and the CGI very appropriately used...but yeah, seeing them purdy cartoon ladies brought to life remained the central enticement. And they even fell for a goofy schlub like Fred Flintstone - how much of a geek fantasy is that? Anyway, Harry's got some serious balls to acknowledge the cartoon hottie hook, and once again his enthusiasm is infectious. I think I'll give "Flintstones 2" a chance, though I'm not sure I can get up the courage to see it at the theater. Video maybe. "Galaxy Quest" reminded me that family fare movies can still be pretty good, so I'm up for this.
RE:Todd by Flmlvr	Apr 25th, 2000 01:48:37 AM
You continue to out-do yourself, man. Dammit...when am I gonna see some KUNG FU!....oh, yeah keep an eye out for my sister on those teen porno sites.

I was all over Harry for his past reviews of films on this site, but dang, he actually wrote a review that may make me feel only slightly embarrased when I decide to see the film (still a little long-winded, but it worked to perk up my curiousity about this film...I thought the trailer actually looked decent).

Oh, Good Lord... by Cassius the Evil	Apr 25th, 2000 07:50:50 AM
Harry, why in the Hell did you have to bring up Problem Child 2, one of the most painful movies ever made?! Jesus... I had to undergo hynosis just to forget that turd, and- OHNOPLEASEGOD... THE MEMORIES COMING BACK!!! AAAAAAGH!!!
Saw VIVA LAS VEGAS last night, too. It was okay, but it wasn't g by Sam Spade	Apr 25th, 2000 09:39:43 AM
I think Harry might have been a little to smitten by Betty to give a really objective opinion of the movie. Sure, it's tons better than the first one...but that's not saying a whole lot. Bright spots: Gazoo (very cool), Betty, Barney's voice, aimed more at adults than kids, Harvey Korman as Col. Slaghoople!!! Sore spots: Kristen Johnston's unWilma-like portrayal of Wilma, Barney's look (Steven never disappears into the character...it just looks like Steven Baldwin going to a costume party as Barney Rubble), lame plot, lame ending. Maybe if the first movie had never take place, I would have been more impressed with the scenery, etc. But that reaction was wasted on the first movie. All in all, I'd give it a weak 3 on a five scale. Worth a Saturday Matinee, but not worth paying full price (IMHO).
Alan Cumming - at last appreciated? by LittleSaturn	Apr 25th, 2000 09:41:22 AM
I'm extremely glad that Harry gave such high praise to the whole Gazoo character because Alan Cumming certainly deserves it. He's one of several British actors in Hollywood today that would flourish in a quality film if given the chance. British thespians usually do not make the transition well and if they do, it takes years (of bit and caricature roles) and several trips back to theater. If Alan Cumming's Gazoo really is the highlight of film, he should start getting much bigger roles with top directors (maybe his Cabaret director Sam Mendes could hook him up with something great - again). I know he's playing the baddie in two upcoming mainstream flicks but the man is truly funny and can act! Give him something challenging and there's no telling where he could go. I only plan on seeing Flintstones because of Alan and I really hope it gets him the attention he commands. Thanks for listening to my ramble.
Harry has Terrible problems by Ted Terrific	Apr 25th, 2000 09:50:11 AM
and I know terrible. With all due respect, we all love ya, Harry, but was there ever a movie that you didn't like? Was there ever a food item that you didn't like? Your idea of a fuck goddess is a cartoon? Harry take the vast sums of kickback money we all hope you are getting from the studios and invest in some serious therapy.

Newspaper ad...Aint It Cool News' Harry Knowles raves "BETTY IS by Lenny Nero	Apr 25th, 2000 02:24:37 PM
I don't believe this. I won't believe it, I can't believe it, I shan't believe it...Alright, I will believe it. I was going to see a screening of this, thinking "nothing can be as bad as the first movie," but then I saw the preview. OH MAN...it could be as bad as the first movie. So I gave up the tickets. But now, it's like I'm in some alternate universe, stuck here with Bizarro Harry. Can this really be true? Can "Flintsones: Viva Rock Vegas" actually be redeemable? I tell you what, I'll see it when it comes out, but if it sucks, Harry will lose my respect (although only for about a day, because he is the Head Geek, and I am his geek minion).
ahem... by bright	Apr 25th, 2000 02:25:02 PM
I'm skeptical because: a) the first one stunk b) sequels are rarely good c) previews were beyond stupid d) Mr. Knowles has a dubious taste. Thank you

Best Fred Ever= Ron Jeremy by BurninBullwinkle	Apr 25th, 2000 05:43:36 PM
In the classic film, "The Flintbones," you can find the best portrayal of Fred Flinstone: The great Ron Jeremy. I encourage everyone, especially those of you with small children, to see the adventures of Red, Burney, Ready, Willing, Puddles, Gang Bang, Mr. Straight and the Great Wazoo.
Harry, Todd and Moriarty by All Thumbs	Apr 25th, 2000 05:45:54 PM
Between the Flinstone's review, the Iron Giant rant of the century and the late, latest edition of the Rumblings, this has been an excellent day for AICN. I'm glad Harry doesn't do "professional" reviews because they don't have the heart or the words "fuck goddess" listed in them. Pro reviews like Ebert's are great, they're wonderful, but sometimes you just need to hear about the latest starlet Harry's drooling over after getting into an argument over the Great Gazoo. Damn, I love this site.
say what you will.. by jph	Apr 25th, 2000 05:57:15 PM
The movie may be good, or it may suck Dino's dinger, but if there's one thing that's true, the set designer should win some kind of friggin' award. Maybe not an Oscar, but some "you did a hell of a job making a cartoon world real life" award.

CENSORSHIP by DrChainsaw	Apr 26th, 2000 01:21:45 AM
I like the way you censored my Talk Back comment, then kicked me off the user list...my commentary was no worse than some of the other crap I read here on a daily basis...you are a fat fucking loser...You know everything that was said was true. So let me reiterate it for all the people who didn't see it the first time. First off, no one gives a flying fuck about how you and your dad nearly broke up your relationship over the first flintsones Movie. No one also gives two shits about all the irrelevant bullshit you just love to spread all over your reviews...it's like kids in high school who don't know what they are talking about in a paper so they make a paper that is essentially BULLSHIT. Nice tactics. I'd like to actually read a real review rather than see you drone on and on like you did in your review of Gladiator...in both these reviews, I gleaned absolutely nothing I didn't already know, except your obsession with Betty Rubble the "fuck goddess"...she's a cartoon for christ's sake...if you get an erection over a two dimensional drawing of a woman, then you definitely need to get a hold of the real thing, which would become much easier for you if you weren't an overzealous fanboy with an obesity problem. I left out the part about "Brian Savant" and "Captain Kazoo" or whatever the fuck it was that took over half the page. That's like saying "it was very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very" to get more words into a paper, another grade school tactic...I guess that shows us your intellect level. Truth hurts doesn't it. Instead of being a wastoid and writing bad reviews (which is probably why you were voted the laughingstock of the Oscars), why don't you try dieting, getting a regular job like the rest of the fucking world and be normal for a change. Cause no one likes a 30+ year old fanboy without a life. CENSOR THAT, BITCH.

Re: Hottest Cartoon Character by Spacey and Duran	Apr 27th, 2000 06:11:07 PM
Sorry to break the cartoon chick hoop, but the hottest cartoon character ever is Shaggy from Scooby Doo... unless puppets count. Then it would be Lock or Jack from Nightmare Before Christmas (now I'm breaking the tv thing going on) - yeah, a skeleton and little thing in a mask, but it's better than my former obsession with Raphael from TMNT... if comics are in order, then it's Jay and Silent Bob.

FOR THE ATTENTION OF DR CHAINSAW. by sleep	Apr 28th, 2000 05:53:25 PM
I can't believe the amount of hate there is on the talk backs. When I was expressing my opinion about the tv show friends, because I love to wind people up, because I know what a bunch of hate filled low lifes some of you people are. Because someone is over-weight, doesn't mean that people have a right to diss and humiliate them. One of the talk back losers wrote. 'no offence harry but fat people disgust me.' has got to be the ultimate two face comment to date. You might as well say, 'no offence Sammy L Jackson, but I hate niggers.' There's a lot of homophobic and xenophobic remarks also on the talk backs. The media have really tapped in to your pea sized brain haven't they? This is what kind of bull shit I was telling you about. When you tv loving friend tells you what to think, what to wear, what's cool, what's not cool, who to hate. YOU PEOPLE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES!!! As for Dr Chainsaw's comment. Harry has a right to do what he likes to do best. he has the right to his opinions, he has the right to write about what colour shit he had before he went in to see the latest blockbuster, it's his site, he can write what he likes. Are you going to be like those losers who shot Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, JFK, John Lennon, because they didn't like what they said? Did any of you watch the Oliver Stone film Talk Radio, haven't you learned that hate aspires to nothing. What he isn't and I'm glad, because all you racist, corpulentists, xenophobic, homophobic, should take tips from Harry, and that is respect other people, for who they are, and what they are. Whether they are fat, of a different race, religion, or country. Who wants to be perfect? I love imperfections. I love women who are big, because those are the people who are real, who think of others as well as themselves. It's a persons right to do what they want to do, and what they look like. Fat people may sweat a bit more, but they still smell sweeter than the shit you perspire. It's not about pollitically correctness, you don't have to be P.C. to be nice and respect people for who they are. It's called being human.
You're right, I don't believe you. by fonebone	Apr 29th, 2000 04:11:11 PM
Harry, you actually had me considering a Flintstone outing. Ebert sez: "unspeakably obvious, labored and idiotic humor" and "the ideal movie for infants." I admire you, though, for sticking your neck out on this one -- it shows guts. Or maybe you're just into Jane Krakowski. I still think her work in "Vacation" was the best.
Harry's sex drive by not_a_jedi_yet	May 1st, 2000 12:43:57 AM

Magaret Mitchell by Brimacombe	May 1st, 2000 09:20:35 AM
I think we all were taught a valuable lesson when Margaret Mitchell was run over by a taxi when she was about to write the sequel to Gone With The Wind. Only The Godfather and Planet of the Apes worked with sequels. Stay the fuck away from this so they don't make a third.

Re: Margaret Mitchell by Gothmog	May 1st, 2000 01:51:50 PM
The only sequels that worked were Godfather and Planet of the Apes? Do I really need to bring up Aliens and T2 on a fanboy site? Those sequels were much better than any of the Apes sequels, and there have been many other examples in which sequels have been as good as or better than the originals. I agree about not needing a Flintstones sequel - the obvious problem here is that the other film series listed here had an original movie that was worthy of follow-ups. The first Flintstones movie was a mess - any sequels should have been straight-to-vid affairs. It's rather silly to compare it to PotA, Gone with the Wind, or The Godfather.
Flintstones: Viva Rock Vegas - yawn or what? by RKO Radio	May 3rd, 2000 06:39:56 AM
I've just read this astonishing review of the latest Flintstones film. It bears almost no relation to the weakly plotted, tiresomely scripted stroll through clicheville film of the same name that I saw a couple of days ago! I agree that the casting was excellent and some of the stone age gadgets were great but frankly, the rest of it was rightly pitched at five to seven year olds who loved it. For example, what did the character of Great Gazoo, tediously played by Alan Cummings, add? other than to provide this viewer with an enormously powerful irritant. I'm with B Rubble on this one and would willingly have punched the little twerp in the face, repeatedly. Yabba Dabba DONT bother seeing it.
Dr. Chainsaw and his ilk... by lycanthrope	May 3rd, 2000 11:31:20 AM
Part of me would like to believe that that load of vehement bile spewed by Dr.C was merely to raise the ire of Harry's friends and supporters... If it is a "true" posting, then this individual seriously needs a life and to get laid... If you don't like Harry's reviews, you can find plenty of scholarly, traditional reviews on the net and in many periodicals... Just hit the little "x" up in the corner of your screen and get on with your life... The fact that so much hate is pouring out of you over an inocuous website seems to indicate some serious problems... Harry - I don't always agree with you, but I appreciate your zeal and the information you make available to us... I don't care about your weight, your religion, your sexual preferences or whatever - just be yourself - you are the "cool" in AICN! And BTW, I always thought Judy Jetson and Lana Lang were major hotties - oh, and the Silver Age Supergirl and her new animated counterpart - so there.
I saw it last night... And it does indeed kick ass. by Freebooter	May 3rd, 2000 12:15:27 PM
I hated the first Flinstones movie so bad I thought I'd stroke out after I saw it... but something about this (namely Mark Addy being in it) brought me to see this movie... and GOD I couldn't be happier. This movie is FUNNY and is everything the first movie should have been and more. Harry was correct, everyone works perfectly in this film. I don't even like Kristen Johnson and I LOVED HER AS WILMA IN THIS. And Jane Krakowski was AWESOME as Betty... serious hotty there. This franchise was much like the Addams Family franchise in that the first film sucked, but the second finally hit its stride. I'll probably see Viva Rock Vegas again while it's out, just for the performances alone. It's that much fun.
A question... by Einhander	May 6th, 2000 03:16:57 PM
What's better? A Good idea done badly, or a Bad idea done well? Because while I enjoyed this... uh... film, I guess.... rather much, I couldn't help wondering... why? It's all done very well, but why? Why Alan Cumming, Mark Addy and Kristen Johnson in a Flinstones sequel? Why all this money spent on good SFX? Why the good jokes? IT'S A FLINSTONES MOVIE! Why couldn't this same group of proffesionals been working on M2M instead, and leave Brian De Palma to make a lump of crap out of this one, which everyone expected to suck anyway? We may never know. all I know is, Rock Vegas is better than M2M, and considering the pedegrees, that's sad.
I saw it last night... And it does indeed suck ass. by Tornado_Jackson	May 7th, 2000 12:52:21 AM
This is a great film Harry? BULLSHIT,BULLSHIT,BULLSHIT you're full of crap Harry. This movie sucked brown stinky wang and you know it. I have to wonder how much of a payoff you got this time for your oversized generous bull-shit review of yours. This is good? The Great Gazoo was not funny! the girl from third rock is not hot in this movie and in an early scene when she screams you can see some funky red-shit growing on her tongue. And she treats every God-damn line as if it was fucking Shakespeare!!! You're wrong just like you were wrong about Pitch Black which you called " A Bucket Full of Suprises" or something like that. You Asshole.

Does anyone remember Popeye? by anim8er	May 12th, 2000 09:59:19 AM
I think I saw the first Flintstones movie at the dollar theater. I'm not sure it was worth that. I thought the idea of a live action version of a cartoon a stupid idea. But on the other hand, I remember thinking Robin Williams should have gotten an Oscar for his portrail of Popeye. Reading some of the comments on Flintstones 2 reminded me of that movie that I had actually completely forgotten about when Flintstones 1 came out. The movie Popeye sucked, but Robin Williams still should have gotten an Oscar.
Viva Rock Vegas. It's not THAT bad. by Flix	May 14th, 2000 03:53:56 PM
Hello Again Harry. I agree with your review of "Viva Rock Vegas." A lot of critics, and many of the people who have posted messages in response to your review of the movie, disagree with us. "Viva Rock Vegas" is not that bad of a movie. I think the cast certainly helps. Jane Krakowski is very good as Betty. Infinitely better than Rosie O'Donnell. Did O'Donnell suck or what!? Alan Cumming was very good as The Great Gazoo. A character I would like to have seen in the original. It certainly would have helped. Joan Collins was much better than Elizabeth Taylor. Taylor was horribly miscast in my mind. A lot of the critics loved her. I thought she was terrible. Joan Collins is much better. I find it funny that a few critics (Your buddy Roger Ebert being one of them) think the original is better. What are they all smoking? I left the theatre with a smile on my face feeling that while it was not a great movie, I was very entertained. I wonder why so very few people disagree.
