Barney's Great Adventure (1998)

Growing up as a 90s kid, this movie was my favorite. Even as an adult I still remember how magical I thought it was.

Seeing 'Barney's Great Adventure' on the Bottom 100 is simply ridiculous. The majority of people who have rated this movie so low are people over 18. This movie is not intended for adults. I saw this movie when I was 6 years old, along with my 3 year old sister, and we were simply enchanted by it. The majority of other reviews here have been from people who did not see this movie as a kid, and can therefore not make any objective comments, due to not being a member of the target audience.The bottom line is: if you are looking for an entertaining movie for a CHILD (that is, someone below the age of say, eight) then this is for you. If you are above that age, just don't be surprised that a movie aimed at very young children can be so 'terrible'.

I know this is a kids film but I have to judge it from my own perspective:Oh, the horror, the horror. I will be dreaming nightmares about this big purple #&@$%½£ (the kind of strong language that this deserves is forbidden on IMDb). I never saw Barney the *beep* *beep* dinosaur before but good God is he annoying. His squeaky voice, the stupid look on his face and the conceited morals about dreams and whatnot that he keeps shoving in your face all come together to form an incredibly obnoxious whole. Added to this is the fact that the gigantic stuffed animal has an ability to disappear like he's a *beep beep* ninja. It's like no reasonable grown up (crazy circus people don't count) never see him until the end of the film and tat really pisses me off. One of the kids even says that he wouldn't just disappear but, guess what kid, he just goes away when you need him the most. The contrived plot, poor visual effects and so on are nothing compared to Barney himself. After seeing this I have come to fear for our future, I believe kids to be smarter than this, seeing Barney the dinosaur at an early age will probably dumb the kids down until the only possible future is that of Idiocracy (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387808/).The film ends with Barney singing "I love you, you love me, we're a happy family. With a great big hug and a kiss from me to you, won't you say you love me to?"My reply: NO!

Utter Crap. First of all, when I was a kid, I used to enjoy Barney when it aired on PBS. Nowadays, I can't believe how moronic this movie is. The plot is nothing more than a lot of bore. The characters are all babyish. Cody is the least favorite 'cause I think he's a jerk. In the beginning, his sister and her best friend act like a couple of mini-teenagers. And Barney, YES Barney, is, pardon my language, the crappiest crap in the history of crap if it were dumped on by a pile of horse crap, the crap will be too heavy if you try to pick up the crap with a crap scooper. If you want something that defines the meaning of the word "adventure", Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom would be an excellent choice. I'm sure it's got more action(and I mean it!) than "Barney's Greatest Adventure". -100 stars out of 100.
