Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

JasonIK75 While the premise of doing a futuristic equivalent to "The Flintstones" was solid, the writers/animators forgot about A LOT of what made "The Flintstones" work. Have you ever noticed how the Jetsons had NO FRIENDS? There was no Barney to George's Fred. But then, who would want to be friends with a wimp who kept losing his job? Orbit City was so underpopulated that, on the episode "Family Fallout," the Jetsons faced off against his boss Mr. Spacely's family, something that would NEVER happen in real life.

Jenna (hayden-panettiere-ukfan) I first discovered The Jetsons when I was 7, and remember how much I loved it then, how funny I thought it was, and how clever all the gadgets were. Then, rediscovering it 10 years later, late night on a cartoons channel has brought about the same things as it had done before - laughter. This says to me that the show is hilarious for any age. Younger children can feel with Elroy's trials of school, and teenage girls can laugh and cry with Judy's boy troubles.I think the scripts were wrote brilliantly, and had a brilliant cast to voice the lines. I'd love to see The Jetsons brought back, because I think that even now - it'd be a big hit.

policy134 The Flintstones was the absolute best Hanna-Barbera show of the 60's but the Jetsons were a close second. Not because it was terribly funny but it was well made and had some kooky views on the distant future that many people still hope will come true. The Jetsons themselves were not really very futuristic. They were more a relic from the past, representing the typical American nuclear family, which has become more rare today. Imagine if two people of the same sex had been the heads of the household. That still wouldn't be accepted on a TV-show today but it has become more common in reality.So the Jetsons are a 50's family who lives in the future and a lot of the stories are taken from daily life like wishing you were rich and living an easy life. Ironically, George's job doesn't seem to be work at all but he is treated rather shabbily by his boss, Mr. Spacely. He is the typical grouch, who needs to browbeat his underlings to feel superior. At home, George has a stay-at-home wife who never seems to have any ambition of her own, except maybe being glamorous. The two children are sweet and doesn't seem to rebel at any time. The eldest daughter, Judy, falls in love every week and Elroy is the typical egghead. That's basically it. The gadgets of the future are more background than an integral part of the show and the story lines even rips off some dated TV-shows like Fantasy Island and the movie "The Wizard of Oz". There is not much to involve you and the characters do not have many dimensions. So you can say that the Jetsons could be considered Flintstones Lite, with a nice guy as the main character. Not terribly interesting.

mathmannix I grew up watching the Jetsons, and it was always funny to me, but it is really just a kid's cartoon. It obviously has to be compared to the Flintstones, which really was the point of it, after all, to take the Flintstones and try it in a different setting. But the Flintstones was not just a kid's cartoon, it is entertaining to adults too, because it had more meaning. Because it focused on the friendship of Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble. In creating the Jetsons, a Barney character was sadly left out. George Jetson interacts with his wife, boss, and dog (all true for Fred as well), but he really cries out for someone else for his character to play against.
