Fun for the family
Added 5/15/2009
This is a good video for the whole family. My 4 and 6 year old children liked the video and it was enjoyable as an adult to view. The classic Flinstone moves are nostalgic.

An Awesome Beginning!!!
Added 4/30/2009
Before they were a modern stone-age family, Fred, Wilma, Barney, and Betty tooka trip to Rock Vegas to have the time of their lives! Wilma's old boyfriend, Chip Rockefeller sets a trap for Fred so he can get back to Wilma. Fred becomes an addict at gambling, while Betty and Barney have problems. I love when Fred sings toward the end to get Wilma to love him again. I highly recommend THE FLINTSTONES IN VIVA ROCK VEGAS!!!

a big surprise yabba dabba do
Added 7/1/2008
After reading so many negative things I almost did not buy, I am glad I did.
for those who do not know its a prequel to the the first first film, but it shows how Fred, and Wilma, Barney and Betty first met, very cleaver ideas. Fred would be younger so he looks younger then what we see in the cartoon or first film, but they play play the parts as you would think they would,
My only gripe was Kazoo. They really did not need to add him in, he did nothing to film to carry the story or make it better. Besides Kazoo came long after they all met. That's why its 4 stars, not 5
If you enjoyed the Flintstones as a kid, your love all over again. Rent the film for yourself. Then you can think for yourself if it is worth seeing.
What so cool too is it truly is for both kids and adults. Not many films like that anymore.

Could not stop laughing
Added 10/29/2005
This movie was prehysterical! From the moment I pushed it in, I could not stop laughing! And that was just the previews! I shat my pants several times and popped a testical from laughing so hard! I only got to watch it half-way through though, because I like to keep myself on the edge of my seat!! I can't wait to watch the rest tomorrow! Rent it! You'll have a gay old time! Guaranteed!

Underrated, Viva Rock Vegas!!!
Added 7/14/2003
"The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas" brings the iconic 60's cartoon about the "Modern-Day Stone-Age Family" back to the big screen for a second run. During it's first-run in the theatres people blasted the movie for its changes from the first movie (prequel instead of sequel, B-team cast instead of A-team cast). However, taking a look at the movie on it's own merits you'll find an equally well-done story and rendering of America's favorite Modern-Day Stone-Age Family.THE MOVIE: The Story: Again, this movie is actually a prequel to the first movie as well as cartoon. It tells the story of how Fred and Barney first met Wilma and Betty. Buddies and Rock-Quarry workers Fred and Barney meet Betty and Wilma and engage in a whirlwind romance. Along the way the gang gains a pet dino (Dino) and cross paths with an exiled alien (The Great Gazoo). Things in paradise aren't quite perfect though as Wilma's ex-beau shows up to reclaim Wilma and throw a monkey wrench into the boys' relationship with the girls. The Cool Stuff: It's all about the story here and effects here. As in the first movie, Bedrock (and Rock Vegas) are beautifully rendered. All the charm of the cartoons shines through in the film from the way Fred bowls to how he and Barney float into the air when things go right (Yabba-Dabba Doo!!!) all the way to Dino's seemingly perfectly transferred animation from the cartoon to the film. While people lambasted this film, the storytelling is once again done very well. The story is classic Flintstones, Fred does some dumb things to his regret landing him and Barney in trouble, Barney's lovably innocent and the girls, of course, prove they are smarter than the men. The addition of the Great Gazoo to the film is icing on the cake. THE DVD: While a little sparse compared to most new release DVDs, there are some nice extras here to enhance your viewing pleasure. Among the goodies included here are: 1. "Making of Feature" - 15 minute feature that talks about, among other things, the making of the Rock Vegas set, the CGI animation and the casting of the actors. 2. Trailers: The theatrical and teaser trailer plus trailers for other movies. 3. Production Notes - more insight into the movie 4. Cast and Crew Bios THE VERDICT: Overall this movie was just nice. It may have may have been lambasted or passed by your radar the first time around but if you are looking for a nice rental for the weekend or evening this is your film. The storytelling is very solid and is just classic Flintstones in every respect. In my opinion, the movie is perhaps even superior to the first movie in this respect. All the charm of the cartoon translates perfectly is this movie. The DVD features, while a little sparse, help make this particular DVD a nice addition to your DVD library if you are so inclined to purchase it. Final Grades: Movie: 5 stars
Extras: 3 stars Total: 4 stars Highly Recommended
