Summary: Two Thumbs Up
Review: I didn't know why there were so many negative reviews here but I went ahead and bought for my kids anyway.

At first it would seem that the nay-sayers were right on the money, after watching my kids enjoying the DVD so much and over andd over, I had to have a second thought!

This is simply a fascinating for the right minds---the kids, actually I enjoyed the movie too, not just once, many times over.

Yes, it seems "different" than the cartoon version if you are so used to cartoon network. However, after analyzing it over and over, I realized(and my kids too) it is far more entertaining than the cartoons, hence the whole purpose of making a "live action movie". The colors, the scenes, the casting are simply great. THe DVD even has some deleted scenes and are nice and fun to have them.

Two thumbs up!

Summary: Scooby do where are you ?
Review: As a kid, I always enjoyed watching Scooby. Even now (at the age of 27) it never seems to bore me.
The director Raja Gosnel has tried his best to get the movie close to the cartoon and he's succeeded in doing that.
All seems great about the movie except the end(I won't disclose it to you). The special effects are great. Story never becomes a drag at any time.
I must say, I'm really impressed by Matthew Lillard's portrayal of Shaggy, for a minute I thought they have used the actual shaggy's voice for him. But it is his own voice and he's put great effort to make it exactly simillar to the one we hear on TV.
Now about the DVD, you'll find some deleted scenes, some which should have been in the movie, I feel.
Don't miss out on the movie commentry by the scooby doo cast, it is wonderful.
Behind the scenes will show you how the movie was made, how scooby was put in the movie and how actors had to imagine scooby while doing scenes with scooby.
A coool music video, behind the scene footage and the movie commentry makes this DVD a good buy.

Summary: TERRIBLE.
Review: Scooby Doo (the dog) looks fake and too computerized in this pathetic and distasteful movie to the popular Scooby Doo cartoons. Scooby Doo-The Movie might be rated PG, but it does contain some gross humor and mature content. That's not to say that it is a totally filthy movie, but it could've been a lot more appropriate than it was. The scene in which Scooby Doo and Fred are having a farting contest (?) is a bit distasteful. Also, unlike the Scooby Doo cartoons on TV, this movie might be a bit frightening to the younger set since it does have some scary stuff in it. So parents have been warned! This movie was just too gross and stupid to be a wholesome family entertaining picture. Sorry. That's just how I feel. It doesn't offend me a whole lot, but as a self-proclaimed family movie, I wouldn't recommend it for families.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: 2 Scooby snacks short of a watchable movie
Review: I was really looking forward to this movie. I liked the cast and I liked the humor of the original cartoon. Unfortunately, this movie was a major disappointment. The characters were poorly done, the dialogue was abysmal, and the plot would have even been thin for the original cartoon. Sword of the Barbarian still has my vote for worst movie ever made, but this is in the same league.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Needs More Scooby Snacks
Review: Good 'ol Scooby and his Mystery, INC. cohorts. Brings back a lot of fond memories from long ago when I would regularly watch the old cartoon. Still fun today. Sadly, anyone who remembers it fondly like the way I and millions of other people do, won't find much to love with this new, live action adaption. It's souless and uninspired. The actors here all seem to be game for the kiddie action this film is full of, and they all do their best. However, it can't salvage the film from being anything more than a bright, overdone movie for little kids who don't know much about the history or the old cartoons. The plot is as light and unconvincing as the TV show, but here it goes - The gang split up and go their seperate ways after a case. They are all reunited two years later when they are contacted to come to an exotic island called Spooky Island, where odd, supernatural things are occuring. Gee, your kidding?. While there, the gang realize that a lot of people on the island come there normal, but they soon start acting rather oddly. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know what's going on or figure it out. This isn't anything new. The mystery of what's going on, who is doing it, and why they are doing it has always been as shallow as a kiddie pool. This new movie doesn't change that formula. The cast is fun and seem to be enjoying themselves. They make the most of what they got. Matthew Lillard, as Shaggy, is the best of the bunch. He really was a perfect choice for the role and he really brings the old cartoon character to life. Linda Cardellini as Velma did another fine job. She is obviously not as nerdy or unattractive as the old Velma, but she does an adequate job with the character and all of the ' jinkies ' she always has to say. Freddie Prinze, jr. is, well, he's Freddie Prinze, Jr. He really doesn't do anything with the character and doesn't do anything new or different to make anyone think that we're watching anything else but a same old Freddie Prinze, Jr. performance. Sarah Michelle Gellar. I love her. She is extremely talented, but she is wasted in a thankless role that doesn't have any character to it. It's a shame. She is so breathtakingly smart, tough, and talented in "Buffy", but all of that is wiped away in the vapid character of Daphne. Too bad. She is so much better than this. Comedian Rowan Atkinson of "Mr. Bean" fame also stars. There is also a rather odd cameo by Pamela Anderson here that just doesn't fit. The film is colorful and will sure entertain the young 'uns, but the adults who grew up on and loved the original will be bored and saddened with this new incarnation. The movie is never really funny, except for some things here and there(a certain scene with smoke coming out of the van comes to mind). It would've been great if the writers used more of that kind of comedy. Something more like a hilarious send-up like the big screen "Brady Bunch" movies. The movie, in one scene, resorts to low brow potty(i.e. 'farting') humor that just shouldn't of been allowed in this type of a movie. Okay, I got a tiny chuckle out of it, but it was wrong. In the end, this is a film that will no doubt be enough to satisfy the little viewers, but the older ones looking for a better homage to a beloved cartoon of long ago will be extremely disappointed. Not very good.

Summary: Reminiscent of the yester years
Review: I went looking for a DVD one night and saw Scooby Doo in Full Screen. I wasn't going to purchase it because I don't like watching DVD's in Full Screen. I decided to dig a little and didn't fine a Wide Screen version, so I was going to wait it off.

I was looking around the section a little more and found another stack of Scooby Doo's, and again, they were Full Screen. I decided to look through the entire pile still, because I was hopeful. Surprisingly, I found a Wide Screen version. Of course I picked it up. I'm a fan of the cartoon (who isn't?), and I also enjoy Sarah Michelle Gellar as an actress.

So I went to a friends house and watched the DVD. It was quite enjoyable. It had very amusing parts, and it was quite reminiscent of the original cartoon series. The story was very fun and it wasn't one of those movies that kept you glued to your seat, but it was one of those movies that kept you laughing and smiling and enjoying the entire experience.

I was actually surprised, because as I was watching it, I felt like I was a child again watching a Scooby Doo cartoon on a bright, sunny Saturday morning. The acting wasn't Academy Award worthy, but it was good enough to make you enjoy the movie. Scooby Doo and his antics are always amusing and it's always fun watching Mystery, Inc. solve a mystery.

All in all, I thought this was a really good movie, and definitely a film the entire family should watch. The bonus material on the DVD isn't fulfilling, but it will keep you satisfied and keep the movies appeal alive.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Better than.......
Review: I seem to remember this movie just getting killed by critics when it was in theaters. After watching the DVD I realize that it wasn't that bad. It all probably depends on whether or not you grew up watching the cartoon as I did. With plenty of inside jokes regarding the predictability of the cartoon, makes it more than a kids movie. Even a reference to how so many fans thought the addition of Scrappy-Doo was terribly annoying. A fun kids movie with enough self-depriciating jokes about the cartoon for those (now) adults that grew up with it.
