Firstly I must say that I enjoyed the sequel to the 1994 hit film....And I was very glad they made it...Its one of the few sequels that is not only quite fun,but one I was happy to see come around.
Unfortunately though, this films does have many faults. Although Kristin Johnson and jane krakowski bring Faaaaaar more sex appeal to their roles of Wilma and Betty than their 1994 counterparts, their acting doesnt seem to rise above Sitcom level which is a Bit of a Shame, but no letdown. Mark Addy as Fred flintstone struggles with the fact that he has an english accent and minimal comic talent. He certainly looks like a Young Fred and brings more depth to the Character than expected. And like the rest of the Cast, he is willing to do whatever it take to make it work which is most admirable.
The Real Standouts here are Stephen baldwin as Barney..and Alan cummings as the Martian Gazoo. Whilst Rick moranis in the Original film took a more vulnerable approach to the Role,Baldwin goes after the role in the same way as the cartoon character,getting the voice pitch perfect and depicting him as the cheerful fella that the series did.Alan cummings is also very enjoyable as the Great gazoo.These two actors should take a bow for excellent performances.
Thomas Gibson is a bit over the top of the scheming villain..But the sets are Great..the film is imaginative...and quite funny in many scenes...even if the ending is a Bit predictable(ONE QUESTION...HOW DID BARNEY SHRINK SO MUCH BETWEEN THIS FILM AND THE ORIGINAL....JUST A THOUGHT)
All in All...a great effort guys...Im so Happy this film was made..cause when the first one came out....it was more than just a film...it was a special event....and this film was the icing on the Cake....
I GIVE IT 9 OUT OF 10......GREAT EFFORT
