PrinceKaro 08/12/18 8:50:50 PM #194:	17. The Man Called Flintstone Stifled: 3 Red: 6 Scarlet: 14 JONA: 14 Snake: 15 Karo: 17 Inviso: 19 Charon: 20 Johnbobb: 22 Genny: 25 Total Score: 155 Stifled: Dude. DUDE! When I was a kid, this movie blew my mind. I LOVED James Bond and I really liked the Flintstones. So you can imagine how utterly confused I initially was at the premise of Fred Homer Simpson and Peter Griffin should kiss my ass and pay me royalties Flinstone becoming a spy. But at the same time, who cares how wacky it is?! Worlds were colliding that I didnt think possible and I loved it. And you know what? I still do! Sure, the music is inconsistent. Some tracks are pretty great, like the one that plays when they get to Paris. But then that weirdo song about tickles and shoes can go suck an egg. Regardless, none of it pulls you away from the experience because even the most random song breaks are simply daydreams that motivate Fred to continue his mission. All of the new characters are super fun too. Rock Slag is totally a prehistoric Bond. The Chief is M. Triple X is like an even more obvious Alec Trevelyan. Rocky and Bobo are a mish-mash of some of the best henchmen. And Tanya reminds me quite a bit of Anya Amassova with the charming, sneaky approach to spy work. I love this mashup because it adds to the scale of the story. It doesnt feel like a typical episode of the original show like some of these movies did because it ups the ante and changes things up. The classic Flintstone formula and character interaction is there, plus so much more. Traviss Opinion: Travis got really grouchy and took a nap during this one. Not his cup of tea. Not enough cats I suppose? Im sure he would have enjoyed the airplanes and rockets if he watched. Maybe next time! There will definitely be rewatches. Red: This movie actually set a pretty good blueprint for how to turn a TV show into a movie. Makes use of its exisitng casts, spoofs a better idea than they could come up with alone, and runs with it. Flintstones in a spy movie actually works in a strange way, and the dumb stuff they do that is "stone age" comparative to real life has actually always been creative in a stupid cartoon way, which is no exception here. Scarlet: You have to wonder why Karo thought a list of poorly executed concepts that attempt to break the mold of a preceding television entree and failing in an unsatisfying way was worthy of the time of Gauntlet Crew. Especially when you find yourself blankly viewing a film that attempts to take the Honeymooners concept and play it up as Get Smart while reaching not even a quarter of either shows heights. The mix of drug-addled animation sequences and plot-halting musical misfires would lead one to believe that this isnt worthy of ones time, but the initial idea, the concept behind the film, shouldnt be ignored on general merit. Rating: 26/100 JONA: It's The Flintstones but in a spy setting! You get pretty much what you expect and it's some decent fun. I'd rank it over a couple of Bond films. Don't let this writeup distract you from the fact that Fred Flintstone straight-up killed some people and everyone celebrated it. Snake: A muddled, confused James Bond/spy parody featuring characters I dont particularly care for. Like Yogi Bear, its way too long and the fact that the plot is cobbled together from three separate episodes doesnt help matters much. I dont like the animation here as much as Yogi either. --- https://imgur.com/ptVv7Hu all going according to the plan of BKSheikah* this time...* <cite>PrinceKaro posted [p:906770796] in Gauntlet C...
