Summary: a real scooby snack!
Review: The only reason I wanted to see this movie was because of Sarah Michelle Gellar. It was refreshing to see her without a stake. I was so amazed from beginning to end. The plot was simple yet intelligent enough to keep you guessing. The Scooby Gang is phenomenal. It's like they took the 2-D further without dissing the cartoon and I actually liked the CGI Scooby better than the animated one. I nixed one star off for the deleted scenes. The movie would've been better with them included. ok except for the Velma song which was bit overdoing it. Can't wait for Scooby 2!

Summary: SCOOBY-DOO KICKS BUTT!!!
Review: I think that they did a good job with this movie because all of the actors did a good job portraying the characters. I especially liked Matthew Lillard playing Shaggy because he did such a good job playing him, that he could have been him in real life. He was very funny and so where the other co-stars. They did a good job with the animation of scooby-doo. He was also very funny. I just couldn't believe that they made scrappy-doo to be the evil one. I always thought that he was just jealous of scooby's fame.I liked how freddie played fred. I liked how sarah played daphne. My favorite will always be Matthew Lillard. He did a VERY, VERY good job portraying shaggy. I have watched about 10 times and I never get tired of it. I laugh every time that I see it. Overall, it was a very good movie. They couldn't have found any one better to play these characters better than they did.

Summary: Fun for older kids and 'young' adults
Review: I bought DVD thinking about my 4-year-old daughter, who is an avid fun of Scooby Doo. It's a fun movie, but definitely not for kids below 8. It's sometimes too scary and spooky for a little ones. But it's a great play for older kids and adults (like me) raised on cartoons and old Dracula movies. The crop of young American actors did a very good job. They are not sensational, but they don't have to be to imitate Fred, Velma and others. I wish Rowan Atkinson (famous Mr. Bean) had a better role. He could be such a funny addition to this movie. However, he is barely utilized. The one thing I didn't like was the ending. I want reveal it but I was surprise by the lack of better idea.

Summary: Don't try rekindling your youth with this film adaptation
Review: Scooby Doo, Where Are You? was a staple of my Saturday mornings as a youth. It was entertaining and, to me, at that age, a bit creepy. The cartoon series today is still charming and even a bit more disturbing now that I know what some of the "in-jokes" are today. The live action film adaptation is almost an exact replication of the cartoon series. That is both a compliment and an insult to those involved. Let me explain....

First of all, the kids will love this film. It is going to entertain them for hours on end and I'm sure they'll watch it over and over. That's who it's for isn't it? For them, it's going to be a four or five star affair. As parents, you can feel secure that the humor is clean enough (with enough innocuous potty humor thrown in to appease even the most jaded of 8 year olds), even if a couple of the scares are a bit intense.

For those raised on the cartoon and expecting something more powerful, you probably won't feel the same way. My review is from the standpoint of an adult trying to recapture my youthful enjoyment of that old series. Don't do it! Here's the details:

Matthew Lillard and Linda Cardinelli are almost creepy in their dead-on portrayals of their cartoon selves. Lillard, in particular, seems to be channelling Casey Kasem's voice work AND the cartoons bizarre movements for that character. Freddie Prinze, Jr. as Fred and Sarah Michelle Gellar as Danger-prone Daphne breathe a bit of new life into their cartoon selves. We discover that Fred is vain to the point of preening and Daphne is not just gorgeous, but a bit of an idiot. Scooby Doo is a computer generated character that will eventually have you believing that he must have really existed in his interactions with the actors. This is a tremendous compliment to the actors who had to do a great deal of blue or green screen work interacting with empty space.

Lillard as Shaggy (and Scooby Doo, but he's really not there) is the real "star" of the show and needs to receive kudos for not only his dynamite portrayal, but his fantastically believable interactions with the non-existent Scooby Doo.

What I didn't like about the film is that it is too much like the episodes and not enough like them all at the same time. The DVD extras lets us know that the filmmakers made a big mistake in not seguing the cartoon version opening credits into the live action film. It would have been great for those of us wanting a dip in the nostalgia pool (after all we have to take the kids, don't we?).

Also, the villain in this piece is actually a bit on the horrific side, if you're taking the wee ones to see the film. That's surprising since the filmmakers make comments that they wanted to be sure to target the kids.

Finally, if the filmmakers are merely going to remake an episode of the cartoon, what's the point? Why not just make a full length cartoon version of the quality of the original series?

Ultimately, it is an enjoyable distraction to view this film. The actors are having fun and they make you want to have fun. The filmmaker wisely decided to maintain the bright day glo colors of the costumes for the cast. Too bad the whole film isn't as bright as those colors.

Summary: Scooby-Doo RULES!
Review: At first I thought that it would be O.k but when I saw the movie I loved it!!! Since I was a little girl I loved Scooby-Doo and now im 10 and still love it!!! I kind of think at first Scrappy should of not been the bad guy. I think Scooby-Dum would of played the part but I see where it was going!!! I think anyone would love it even if you don't like scooby-doo. It is really funny!!!

Summary: Groovy!!!
Review: Funny!!! I loved this movie. I watched Scooby Do as a child so I had to get the movie. It made me laugh out loud and wish it would never end.

Summary: THE Worst Movie of the YEAR
Review: While watching this awful movie, I felt sad. Sad that the talent of Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy) would put her wonderful ability into junk like this. This was definately one of the stupidest and dumbest movies made this year, and how Rowan Atkinson (Rat Race), Linda Cardellini (Freaks and Geeks) would make this awful movie.

Watch the TV every day on cartoon network, instead of seeing this disappointing movie.

Summary: Scooby Did
Review: The Scooby movie delivers a lot of classic Scooby fun. Shaggy and Scooby still carry the rest of the Gang! Like so many others, Scooby meant a lot to us as kids. Personally, Scooby was my favorite childhood cartoon.

It's too bad the innocence of the original cartoon was thrown out for 21st century "gottagrabyawithflesh" movie making. Kid's have enough sexual influences and unfortunately this movie is no exception. Hemn lines are too high and the ladies dresses are cut much too low. Sexual references are very low and not problematic.

The movie drops rank with the cartoon with it's "real" monsters. These particular monsters happen to be demonic. They "possess" the bodies of all the visitors of Scary Island. Add to this an ancient mystic alphabet with the ability to call up an evil army to take over the world.

I know many would disagree and say that we are taking this too seriously, but the influences on our children's live are very serious.

The show is a lot of fun and can be enjoyed if you know where it's going and what you're getting into.

"Rooby-rooby roo"!

Summary: I can't wait to buy this movie
Review: If you are a big Scooby Doo fan, you may love this movie. Scooby Doo follows both Popeye and the Flintstones that started out as a cartoon and jumps to live action. As the movie begins, Fred (Freddie Prinze Jr) gives himself credit for the gang's newest mystery which leads Velma (Linda Cardellini) to quit, along with Daphne (Sarah Michelle Gellar), which leaves Shaggy (Matthew Lillard) and Scooby Doo along with the mystery machine. After 2 years, Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy and Scooby accept a mystery to Sppoky Island, and they run into each other at the airport. The island's owner (Rowan Atkinson) arrive in good spirts and leave as teenagers. Buy this movie, you will not be disappointed in less in have already seen the movie, or do see it and get disappointed anyways. I don't know who does the voice of Scooby-Doo but if you do or have seen on the dvd on Scooby-Doo please e-mail me .... And please let me know you know of it. If you seen on on dvd and they mention it on the making of it or you seen it listed, If I can remember correctly I have seen two people listed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SCOOBY-DOO(WIDESCREEN EDITION)
Review: I THINK THIS MOVIE IS A FUN CHANGE FROM THE ANIMATED CARTOON. MY DAUGHTER WAS LAUGHING THROUGHOUT THE MOVIE. THEY COULDN'T OF PICKED ANY BETTER ACTORS, AND ACTRESSES TO PLAY THE GANGS PARTS. IT'S A MUST HAVE MOVIE TO OWN IN YOUR CHILD'S DVD COLLECTION.
