Summary: Don't Expect Too Much & You'll Enjoy It As Mindless Fluff
Review: The key to enjoying SCOOBY DOO is not to expect too much. The producers have billed the film as half hommage, half parody; in truth, it isn't really close enough to the original cartoon to be called hommage and it really doesn't go far enough to be called parody, and as usual Hollywood makes the mistake of trying to cover up the script's inadequacies with big-budget production values and expensive but actually so-so special effects. All the same, the film does have its moments. The story finds Fred, Daphne, Velma, and Shaggy splitting up due to ego conflicts--and then being unexpectedly reunited when the owner of a teen resort called "Spooky Island" invites them in to find out why his guests arrive as normal teens and then depart as, well, ZOMBIES.The script is fairly mundane, but it does have a few zingers, as when Velma says "Let's get jinky with it!" And although the cast is a mixed bag, they work hard to bring it off. Freddie Prinze is wildly miscast as Fred and Sarah Michelle Gellar is not an ideal Daphne, but they play with tremendous energy; Matthew Lillard and Linda Cardellini, however, are so dead on target with their performances that they create an amazing sense of deja vu. As for Scooby Doo, he is (of course) a computerized animation. And so are most of the monsters the gang encounters on Spooky Island. Although it works reasonably well, it isn't anything to write home about. I would recommend that parents preview the film before unleashing it upon their kids; some younger children may be unnerved by the monsters. The DVD comes with a number of extras that include some cut scenes--and they offer an interesting contrast with the film, for they are very satirical. Seeing them left me with the feeling that the film would have been much more entertaining if those scenes had been left in and the whole thing had been done with the same bite. As it is--SCOOBY DOO is neither a great film nor a memorable film. But we're all occasionally in the mood for some mindless fluff, and it fills that niche very well indeed.

Summary: Scooby Doo or Scooby Don't?
Review: I watched this movie with my little brother last night. Needless to say, he has watched it again since then. What I'm trying to say is that if you are not an eleven year old boy this movie might not be your style. Yet, I still have to admit that even I did laugh at the farting and burping jokes a bit. I guess I liked the old cartoons better where there always was a logical answer to each mystery. It gave you a chance to think. The parts of Shaggy and Velma were the two best actors in the movie. I also loved the animated Scooby. So, if you are looking for an exact replica of the old cartoons, I would not reccomend this movie. But if you are looking for a cute, funny movie that is appropriate to watch with you family I say go for it!

Summary: Cute and funnn!
Review: This is probably the most funniest movie in history. I laughed all the way.
Scooby Doo and the gang are off to Spooky Island to solve a mystery.SMG and FPJ r so cute in this movie.
Here's what the characters are like: Fred: Considered to be the leader of the gang
Daphne: (in my opinion) the stuck up snob (which i hate)
Velma: Geeky girl
Shaggy: the silly and funny one
Scooby Doo: the main character, i guess recommended for all ages!

Summary: Not to be confused with Oscar winning theater
Review: The movie is aimed at people who grew up watching Scooby Doo and their kids. Almost all critics gave it horrible reviews because this movie was meant to be taken at face value. The few adult laughs were well over my 4 year old's head. The slapstick humor was like the original cartoon with more detail. If you enjoyed the cartoons, then you will love the movie. I even caught my wife laughing at the sophmoric humor.

Summary: Good movie--even for kids!!!!!
Review: Hi! I bought this movie on DVD for my four year old son. He absolutely loved this movie! This is the only movie that he has ever sat through and watched completely without ever getting up. He watches the movie two to three times a day since we got it the day it came out. He is a big Scooby Doo fan. Shaggy and Scooby are really funny in this movie and are the best parts about it, in my opinion. The only thing I didn't really care for was the ending when they find out who was terrorizing the island, they could have picked someone else. We only have a DVD player on our computer so when my son gets done watching the movie, he has fun playing the game as well. Even if we would have gotten this movie on VHS, I am sure that he would still watch it as much as he does. All in all, it was a great purchase for my son and it will and has been worth the money!!

Summary: Scooby-Don't
Review: The only good part of the movie was the animation for Scooby. Other wise they took moderate actors and made them very bad actors. Maybe that means they are good actors by being sooooo bad. Don't buy this movie for yourself. Buy it for the White Elephant gift exchange at your next Christmas party.

Summary: Zoinks! Shaggy stole the show!
Review: I am a long-time Scooby Doo fan so I was pretty psyched for this movie. But I was a little skeptical at the same time. Both feelings turned out to be founded. The movie, on pure entertainment value, was very good and was certainly suitable for the whole family. The characters were generally well-cast. Can't imagine why Freddie Prinze, Jr. would come to mind for the part of Fred (other than the obvious name sharing), but he did just fine in the role. Not sure why Sarah Michelle Gellar was the choice for Daphne, but again, fine job. I had never heard of Linda Cardellini, but she proved to be a fantastic Velma. Scooby was very cute and the "voice" was on-target, but his coloring was a bit off to be technical. He was much browner in the cartoon and his spots were black. But I digress. SHAGGY, now Shaggy was worth the price of admission. Matthew Lillard IS Shaggy. If I watched this movie a second time, it would be for Lillard's performance. I couldn't get over how well he nailed the voice, the look, the mannerisms, etc. You will be amazed. The plot had quite a twist at the end that will surely surprise you if no one has spoiled it for you yet. Most of the essential Scooby elements are there. That's the good news. The bad news is that they "updated" Scooby Doo a bit too much. They interjected way too much R&B-type music and humor that just wasn't there in the original ... and wasn't necessary in the remake. Each persona's quirks or tendencies were magnified with the exception of Shaggy who, again, was true to form. I might have toned it down and kept the characters more in line with the original. All in all, a good movie and a reasonable treatment of a truly classic pooch-flick.

Summary: Exceeded Expectations
Review: Scooby Doo was a great movie for people who grew up watching the cartoon. The movie was jam packed with full out belly laughs. The twist at the end was suprising and hillarious. You just never know who you will see when they rip off the rubber mask. This movie is geared more for adults who grew up watching Scooby Doo, than it is for today's kids. It has some adult type humor but it is done in a subtle way that most children would not be able to pick up on. "Scooby Doo is Like great!!"
