Casting in this movie sucks

Id watch a third squeal but, get Elizabeth Perkins to play Wilma again. She did that role a awesome job. Jane Krakowski is a PERFECT Betty keep her! John Goodman made a awesome Fred, and Rick Moranis did a great job as Barney.

I think they can do more to make this movie better.. they are still to make a proper Flingstones movie, using all the little perks like the animals talking and complaining about their jobs etc..

Hope they fund it, itll make its money back!

In this movie Barney is taller than Fred. But at least they didn't have an over weight Betty like the first movie.

You mean the Gross pig-faced Rosie O Donnell Betty??

Even though the original film was pretty shítty, the casting was awesome. (Except for Rosie, who was awful!) Whoever was in charge of that really knew what they were doing. (Except when it came to Betty.)

Betty, in this film, wasn't bad, but everyone else was terrible!

I thought Mark Addy actually did a good job as Fred, he certainly sounded more like the character than Goodman did.

...Doh!

Kristen Johnston was AWFUL as Wilma, whoever thought that was a good idea was crazy. She's too manish to play ANY female role!

Jane Krakowski was great as Betty. I thought it was terrible that Rosie O'Donnell only got the role in the first movie because she could do the Betty laugh so well. That makes no sense. Oh, she can do the laugh who cares that she looks nothing like the character, lets cast her! Stupid!

I love John Goodman in anything, but Mark Addy did a pretty damn good job, his voice was spot on and he looked like the character a lot!

I hate Stephen Baldwin, just find him super annoying, but he was pretty damn good as Barney.

So in conclusion, the prequel did a better job casting than the original.

Dragonzord! Mastodon! Pterodactyl! Triceratops! Saber Toothed Tiger! Tyrannosaurus!
