VIVA ROCK VEGAS… VIVA ROCK VEGAS… VIVA.. VIVA… ROCK VEGAS!Description:
In this live-action prequel to the 1994 comedy hit, the Flintstones and the Rubbles go on a trip to Rock Vegas, where Wilma is pursued by playboy Chip Rockefeller.Review:
The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas is a straight to video prequel/sequel comedy directed by Brian Levant who also directed the first Flintstones film as well as the Arnold Schwarzenegger classic Jingle All The Way. Unfortunately the original cast did not sign on for this sequel so it was recast and turned into a prequel and I have to say I’m a little angry at myself for not seeing it sooner. Aside from the terrible casting the movie itself makes for an interesting story for these beloved characters that equally matches up to the original. Do yourself a favor and watch this one first and then the original and relive some childhood memories.
_**A prequel to the first movie with a different cast and almost as good**_While critics love to bash the two live-action versions of “The Flintstones” and the ratings at IMDb are surprisingly low, the first film was a huge hit in 1994 and fittingly so because it’s a great movie for what it is. The second one came out six years later in 2000 and features a different cast, which is appropriate since the story is a prequel, taking place when the four main characters are in their late teens or early twenties and romance blossoms between the couples.
Although Mark Addy as Fred isn’t as good as John Goodman, he’s a more-than-acceptable substitute and, besides, Fred is much younger here so it’s fitting. Stephen Baldwin is even better (slightly) than Rick Moranis as Barney. Jane Krakowski is also better than Rosie O’Donnell as Betty, not to mention one of the most beautiful women to walk the planet. As for Wilma, Kristen Johnston isn’t technically as good as Elizabeth Perkins because the latter had Wilma’s ‘look’ to a “T” and Johnston is noticeably too tall, but she makes up for it with her goofy charisma that can’t be beat. Lastly, who better to replace Elizabeth Taylor as Fred’s stepmother than Joan Collins?
Both Flintstones movies are easy prey to incessant panning because they’re based on a 60’s cartoon. So freaking what? The question is, do they work for what they are and the answer is a resounding “yes”! Movies must be critiqued and graded according to what they are and aspire to achieve, not according to what they aren’t. For instance, “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective” is a goofy comedy and should be reviewed on that level. Compared to the original “Apocalypse Now” it’s a throwaway flick, but how does it stack-up to other silly comedies? It’s the same thing with both Flintstones movies – how do they stack up to other live-action versions of cartoons? Are they amusing?
I always loved Gazoo and he’s effectively brought to life in “Viva Rock Vegas.” The sets and F/X are top-of-the line and hold up to this day. Being a prequel, it’s natural to think that the producers lowered the budget, but this wasn’t the case at all. The original cost $45 million while this one cost a whopping $83 million; but, while the first film raked in $360 million worldwide, this one only made $60 million.
Like the first movie, the story has warmth and offers realistic and worthy themes. Take, for instance, Fred and Barney’s bond. They’re best friends and their personalities balance each other out. You’ll see this in real life. My best friend, for example, is similar in some ways to Barney while I more fit the Fred role.
The first two acts of “Viva Rock Vegas” are just as entertaining as the previous film, but there aren’t as many laughs in the third act as the plot busily ties things up. Don’t get me wrong, the third act is eventful and amusing, but there simply aren’t as many laughs as the first two acts. Nevertheless, “The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas” is entertaining from beginning to end as a live-action cinematic rendition of the cartoon and wisely doesn’t overstay its welcome at 91 minutes.
The film was shot at Vasquez Rocks, Santa Clarita and Parmount Ranch, Agoura, California, and Page, Arizona.
GRADE: A-
Spectacular in the support
I know a lot of people hate this movie and it’s rated ridiculously low but it has always been a favourite of mine.Bright colours and goofy pre-historic puns make it easy for the whole family to watch, and if you have to get up to do something, you won’t miss any crucial plot points.
There may be some casting that you didn’t like but Jane Krakowski is perfect as Betty and Alan Cumming is always perfect, he plays great as Great Gazoo AND Mick Jagged (“snag m. Even Joan Collins was outrageous as mother Slaghoople, but who else could bring glam to a time without modern techniques?? And, as reminder, she was a prequel version of Liz Taylor from the original. Special mention to Thomas Gibson as the handsome villain.
I’m no movie producer or whatever but the sets looked mostly real, unlike most movies now filmed almost exclusively in warehouses, and the effects they do use are better than some I see now, 17 years later. Sure, if you look closely, the lighting is off or poor depth perspective on some of the fast-moving effects, but this was the show based on a cartoon style that repeated it’s backgrounds while eyes and mouths basically had two positions, open and closed.
The music is rompy and fun, classic style meet-cute and Vegas tunes. And who doesn’t love an origin story? And I can’t resist a Vegas movie. Hello? Ann Margrock seeing a stone-age Elvis cover? EPIC!
Flintstones (this one and it’s predecessor) are among the first of the live-action cartoon revivals, I cash cow that Disney is now suckling to.
I haven’t noticed any of the older reviews on here point out specific issues, so I would argue they weren’t open to liking the movie in the first place.
Was very cute and had a good flowing storyline
Very cute movie for the whole family to go to. Had a lot of entertainment for the children audience, for it added a lot of need computer graphics that were fun to watch. They also through in a few jokes for the adults, that only the adults would understand which made it quite funny.The cast worked really well together. Stephen Baldwin did the perfect Barney Rubble, much better then Rick Moranis played it in the 1994 Flintstones Movie. Stephen actually played the character like Barney was in the cartoon, kind of brainless but adorable, not foolish and clumsy. It was great entertainment and an altogether winner.
