Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Scooby Doo!
Review: This is the best Scooby Doo movie I've ever seen. I like how a girl character, Crystal, is introduced to the movie. It's nice to see that Shaggy likes someone. He's never been that kind of guy. There is a wonderful plot to the movie and I must have seen it a hundred times.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not Bad Scooby Doo!
Review: This movie isn't bad, but it could be better though. I put this scooby doo movie second place to his last movie "The Witches Ghost". The only thing that I didn't like about this movie though is the obvious stuff in the mysteries. Like that evidence on the NASA people proved right up front that they were going around acting like green aliens. I also didn't like them showing us that the girl and the dog were the aliens at the last minute. Other than that, it is a good movie though.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SCOOBYLICIOUS! Sharp Writing and Clever Wit Save The Day!
Review: What a treat! This is just what's needed for those of us tired of dull unimaginative animation movies. Well written and entertaining,it is clever, engaging and amusing without disrespecting the intelligence of the viewer-adult or child. A little mystery, a little adventure and some good laughs--the perfect Scooby Snack. (Star Wars fans can listen for the treat of Mark Hamil-Luke Skywalker himself.) And, hey, NO SCRAPPY! Thank goodness. I can honestly say that this is my FAVORITE SCOOBY EVER! If you can't like this Scooby, you can't like any Scooby. The writers, Davis Doi and Lance Falk, take beloved characters and make them even MORE charming. These guys have a great future--I hope to see more of them and more work like this. Rent it and see if any Scooby can compare. Want to see how to keep an old classic fresh and fun? Here's the blueprint. Jolly good, lads! Jolly good!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Shag and Scoob Come Of Age
Review: You wouldn't think anyone could come up with anything new for Scooby Doo, but amazingly, the movies released in the last few years have done just that, and been pretty good.

Scooby Doo and the Alien Invaders is brilliantly made to appeal to adults, in ways children won't catch. For instance, there's a very subtle visual indication at the beginning of the movie that Fred and Daphne are actually sleeping together, but it's so mild no kid could possibly realize it. Velma's closing line has a similar bit of business that will have adults laughing out loud, but no one under high-school age would even notice. There's a calculated cutaway from a scene where a character describes his supposed alien abduction, exactly when it is obvious (to an adult) he is discussing - er, a "delicate" personal probe.

Funniest of all, though, is Shaggy and Scooby simultaneously falling in love - with a cute '60s hippie chick, and her dog. Shaggy shaves his trademark scraz, combs his hair, and actually dresses up. He sings a wonderful love-fantasy song that expertly parodies Sonny and Cher's "I Got You, Babe," which will definitely have you laughing yourself off your chair if you've ever been a fan of either Scooby Doo characters or 1960's music. It's just very funny.

Following the lead of other recent Scooby movies, the gang find themselves up against not only the usual crooks in masks, but actual aliens as well, all in pretty clever style. And, just as former entries in this cartoon movie series have included vocals by recognized artists, Jennifer Love Hewitt gets into this one's act by singing the theme song. This one isn't quite as good as Scooby Doo and the Witch's Ghost, but it's well worth watching - especially for the adults, but kids will love it too.
