Yeah 1994 was overall a great year for movies but some of the worst crap ever also popped in the mid 90's. Too much nostalgia and lazy story telling. Its also when we got that Brady Bunch movie and a bunch of other garbage.

Rosie O'Donnell as Betty Rubble is a the worst casting decision I have ever seen. I agree with Ebert all these movies are duds. But I still love watching Siskel and Ebert review them. They made any movie worth discussing.

As a kid, I enjoyed The Flintstones also, but to be honest even at 18 I still I think it's pretty good, not a masterpiece by no means, but it's got some Good things in it. Like.... * It's Fabulous Production Design * It's Fabulous Costume Design * John Goodman's good performance as Fred. As for the bad things though, like Ebert mentioned, it's a little too adult to be a kids movie, and Rosie O'Donnell and Elizabeth Taylor weren't good in the movie. So overall, 3/5.

Weird thing about the Flintstones movie: it was in development hell for so long, they were looking at John Belushi to play Fred!! Of course, a lot of the humor was always about the "devices." Remember, they ALWAYS played the "Heh, it's a living!" gag in the old days. The production design was the whole purpose of the film, but clearly no one thought about who was most likely to see the film. Either your kids or longtime Flintstones fans looking for nostalgia. That ISN'T what the film became, and THAT made it disappointing.

To be fair: Most Flintstones episodes stories weren’t very kids orientated too. But they should’ve known better. The movie looks so expensive and interesting and the story is so depressing and makes all the characters come off as stupid and not very likeable. This should’ve been an easy job for Spielberg

Flintstones was ok. The script was too old and wasted. Casted well and good sets but the script was 10 years too old. And BHC 3 had a good idea. It needed some more enenrgy and Eddie needed to be more like he was in 48 hours and trading places and distingushed gentleman. He had the right idea but it was so slow. Needed a lot more enenrgy and axel needed to be more of a smartass. Bad script and director doomed him in this one.
