If The Flintstones was a meal, it'd be unsalted rice with extra ego.

The Flintstones: proof the studio reads its own marketing too literally.

The cinematography in The Flintstones is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows

Just got out of The Flintstones and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in The Flintstones actually is?

Look, I wanted to love The Flintstones. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

Unpopular opinion: The Flintstones is the most overrated film of the decade

Director clearly thought The Flintstones was deeper than it is. There's a difference between ambiguous and unfinished, and this leans hard into the second.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in The Flintstones?

Rewatched The Flintstones last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.
