how much it moved you
Two separate readings, not parts of the score β the score says how much of it held you, these say what kind of watch it was.
Nobody has rated this on FlickFeel yet. This is public discussion of this title, read into a curve. It is not a rating and it never becomes one.
Read from 13 comments (12 from Metacritic, 1 from TMDB reviews) β 3 of them described how it moves.
Thin evidence β the shape below rests on 3 comments. The shaded band is how wide the uncertainty actually is, and it is drawn to scale.
Not enough people said when to name this shape. The line is what the evidence draws, not a finding.

Published reviews, not felt experience β a different question from the one above, and never mixed into the FlickFeel score.
βAnd while more than 30 writers worked on the screenplay and untold numbers labored to re-create the ambiance and effects that the animators once tossed off with a few squiggles of their pencils, The Flintstones doesn't feel overcalculated, over-produced or overthought.β
Richard Schickel, Time Β· 80
βThe Flintstones is a big, shiny package of comic nostalgia, as much a theme park as a movie.β
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly Β· 75
βThe greatest lost opportunity in The Flintstones is that its writers (more than 30) are so faithful to the 60's television series that they failed to add enough updated pop-culture references. The few included are among the film's best jokes.β
Caryn James, The New York Times Β· 70
βThis is a great-looking movie, a triumph of set design and special effects, creating a fantasy world halfway between suburbia and a prehistoric cartoon.β
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times Β· 63
βRarely has more high-powered movie technology been deployed to achieve such frivolous ends. Kids seem to love it, while sophisticated viewers may find it enchanting, appalling, or both.β

β_**The animated show comes to life with John Goodman in the lead role**_ While critics love to bash this live-action cinematic version of "The Flintstones" and the rating here at IMDb is surprisingly low, the movie was a huge hit in 1994 and fittingly so because this is a great movie for what it is. Speaking of which, this explains why "The Flintstones" is such easy prey to incessant panning β it's a movie based on a cartoon. So freaking what? The question is, does it work for what it is and β
