Rating: Summary: Great Movie! Review: I've always adored " Scooby Doo" since i was 8 and this movie was a excellent comeback for him, i saw this on Cartoon Network and thought it was great.It's the story of Scooby, Shaggy and friends who take a vacation in a southern made Island to investagate a strange going on, now they discovered that the Island is cursed by dark forces including the undead, will they make it out alive or end up as bait for the darkness? Very entertaining and thrilling Scooby flick inspired by the old 40's voodoo flicks and Lucio Fulci Italian horror flicks, this is a must see for fans of Scooby or Zombie lovers. Similar movies recommended: Lucio Fulci's Zombie, City of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Cat People, An American Werewolf in London, Day of the Dead, Lucio Fulci's The Beyond, Evil Dead, Evil Dead II, Return of the Living Dead, Let Sleeping Corpses Lie and Creepshow.
Rating: Summary: Scooby Doo! How could you! Review: I bought this DVD for my son who is 4 years old. He has been having the "monsters in the closet" problem lately. I figured that I could present him with the Scooby Doo I grew up with, which taught us that monsters & ghosts weren't real. They were just bad guys in masks. Much to my surprise, the new episodes are all about the supernatural. In the new episodes, monsters and ghosts do exist. The new episodes are also more frightening than the original episodes. I am sorely disappointed.
Rating: Summary: Parents... be warned! Review: If you are a parent of a child under five, or a parent seeking to avoid disturbing content and images for your older children... this is not the Scooby Doo you saw as kids! Certainly, it's animated, but animated can absolutely be intense and scary. As a kid, I felt a sense of relief (everything was right with the world again) when the "monsters" were unmasked. They were just "bad guys" after all, usually out for some monetary gain. In this updated version, the monsters are "real", some intent on draining the blood from innocent victims as part of a ritualistic sacrifice. At the end, the spirits of very scary zombies are "released," no longer forced to roam the island. Not what I had in mind for my child's entertainment. I turned off the movie three-fourths of the way through, and regret not having done so earlier. Stick with the classic version... why anyone would knowingly present their child with such storylines and images is beyond me.
Rating: Summary: Ack! Watch the old series instead! Review: I kind of like Scooby Doo and the fact that the gang is always trying to solve mysteries-- I LOVE mysteries. I like how they unmask every guy and, until the end, you keep guessing at who the guy is until he's unmasked. That show was great. A Pup named Scooby Doo was just as good. But THIS-- Daphne and Fred have a whole new look-- Where's Daphne's cool purple dress? And Fred used to wear a sweater, didn't he? And Shaggy sounded better voiced by his original... well, voicer. They completely messed up the characters. That's one part I hated. Also, the zombies kind of made my hair stand on end... Also, I'm a cat lover. The cats in this thing just didn't cut it! It's almost like they were getting children to THINK they were annoying! And I didn't like Scooby's reaction. Usually Scooby ignores cats, or something... It just filled me with disgust. And once again, cats are designed to be evil, brutal creatures. This hardly ever happened in any of the original Scooby episodes! I was disgusted by this as well. All in all, you grab your kids and rent a video that has Scooby's original works on it. They're funny, witty, clever, and mysterious. And whatever you do, don't take another step towards making children believe cats are evil, because they aren't...
Rating: Summary: Wow. Review: I saw "Zombie Island" on cartoon network and wow that has to be the best Scooby doo movie i'v ever seen it was scary so i recomond it for kids 6 and up
Rating: Summary: More For Nostalgic Adults Than Kids Review: Time was when a gang of teenagers and their talking dog could cruise the town in a groovy van and unmask a crook or two masquerading as a monster--but even cartoon characters, it seems, must grow up, and this feature-length film finds the gang disbanded and Daphne working as a star t.v. reporter with Freddie as her producer. But Daphne has an idea for a show: instead of unmasking a bad guy pretending to be a ghost, she'll find a real one instead. Freddie accordingly reunites the gang, and they set off Louisiana and the mysterious "Zombie Island," where the monsters really are REAL. The original Scooby Doo series was designed for a broad age range of children, but ZOMBIE ISLAND is designed for nostalgic adults who want to share their memories with their own kids--and while adults will find the whole thing mild enough, children themselves may have some trouble with it. Very young children are likely to genuinely disturbed by all the ghostly goings-on; older kids used to more graphic material will likely miss the "in" jokes and be bored. Final word: mildly enjoyable for adults, but prescreen it for age suitability before showing to your kids.
Rating: Summary: Disappointing Movie Review: I loved Scooby Doo as a youngster and still enjoy watching it sometimes with the kids, but was really disappointed with this movie I bought them. It starts out good, but the ending is poor. In fact my younger one (3yrs) who watches the old scooby doo's is afraid of it. Even my older two (10 & 7 yrs) don't care the way they talked about cat gods and killing of people in a swamp. I would recommend you consider a different Scooby Doo movie for the youngsters.
Rating: Summary: The Best Scooby-Doo I've Ever Seen! Review: Please don't read if you don't even want a hint of spoilers. This movie was remarkable in that the gang finally had a true supernatural mystery with no fakes in it whatsoever. It was actually very funny in how Fred insisted there MUST be a fake somewhere! The updates to the characters were neat as well; it's still the same old gang, but we finally see some growth. The story was very well written, the art was beautiful, and we very much enjoyed the soundtrack as well. It was a real adventure, and not just a 'catch the crook in the mask' caper. We watch it over and over.
Rating: Summary: Where's the mask? Review: This movie is not at all what I was expecting from Scooby Doo. My son and I love Scooby and watch everything from the television shows to all of his movies. This one is different because the zombies and cat monsters are real--no masks with bad guys under them! Great, that's all I need. I have a hard enough time convincing my son that monsters aren't real. In the other Scooby Doo shows, this is reinforced, but not in this one. I was disappointed that the box didn't have a warning to keep me from buying such a horrible show. I would NOT recommend.
Rating: Summary: Sccoby Doo Rules Review: Scooby Doo is the best cartoon character in the world.I have seen every one of his movies.And shows.
