Scooby-Doo - The Movie

Pros: some funny moments; surprising parts
Cons: rude/gross humor; not a smart flick *duh*

Why?

I like Scooby in and of himself. I've never been a huge fan of the cartoon myself, but my kid is. He's been harping on seeing Scooby Doo ever since he first saw a preview on TV. Going by the previews, I was sure I'd hate...

Pros: Lots Of Funny Moments, Shaggy, Fred, Daphne (drools), Velma, DVD Extras
Cons: Weak Plot, Horrible Special Effects, Some Confusing Scenes

Remember growing up watching Scooby-Doo and the gang Fred, Daphne, Velma, and Shaggy driving around in their Mystery Machine solving mysteries? Well now, Scooby-Doo, the first non-animated film about Sco ...

Pros: Whatever. If you're gonna see it, you're gonna see it.
Cons: I couldn't stop you if I tried. *Waving White Flag*

Granted that Scrappy-Doo was clearly the "Cousin Oliver" of the Scooby Gang, but why would anybody blame him for any of the problems with the TV show? It's not like Scrappy had any part of either Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? or The Scooby-Doo...

Pros: Good monsters
Cons: Bad story, bad actors, bad movie

Try as I might, I cannot recall ever having seen a movie as truly bad as the new Scooby Doo movie that was released yesterday. The story is lame and unbelievable, the characterizations are weak and badly hacked, the actors are all justly no-name...

Pros: Shaggy and Scooby
Cons: Fred and Daphne

I have to say this movie is better than I expected. I have been watching Scooby-Doo since my kids were young and I’m still watching with my grandson. I always enjoyed the cartoon but could never imagine a major motion picture being made with the whole...

Pros: Lillard and Scooby-Doo make a good team
Cons: Prinze and Gellar are unappealing leads

I get the feeling Hollywood won’t be happy until the day they have desecrated every pleasant childhood memory of mine. Translating TV classics to the movies does, on occasion, succeed, such as “George Of The Jungle.” In most cases, however, like the big...

Pros: Matthew Lillard is mildly amusing. Wow, did I actually SAY that?
Cons: It's pure product, through and through.

Sigh. Here we go again. Well-remembered cartoon gets the big-budget silver screen treatment. Not because the source material screams for a revisit, but because rehashing a name product is infinitely more profitable than creating something new. I'm...

Pros: Funny. Fast paced. Good special effects.
Cons: They "villian" in the movie was a bust.

Grab a pack of Scooby snacks or, at least, a refillable tub of popcorn with loads of butter. Scooby Doo (the movie) is on the big screen, and this is one you won’t mind taking the kids to. Heck, after Pokemon, anything would look good. But,...

Pros: Lillard as Shaggy. Fun and entertaining for the most part.
Cons: Very silly at times. Gross humor.

I use to watch Scooby-Doo< i> cartoons all the time when I was growing up. In 2002, the characters made the jump to the big screen in the live action movie Scooby-Doo< b>< i>. Mystery Inc.< b> split up after Fred< b>, ...

Pros: Matthew Lillard's Shaggy
Cons: Bathroom Humor

I have a confession to make. I didn't grow up watching cartoons. As a result, I've only seen a handful of episodes of this show in my entire life. Yet, I was curious about the live action version, so I finally sat down and watched it. The Mystery ...

Pros: Great live adaptation of the 'real deal'.
Cons: Belches & farts.

Scooby Doo
86 Minutes
Rated PG
2002
A Warner Bros. Film

Scooby Doo is just one of those movies that is SO stupid, it is hilarious. If you have EVER enjoyed the cartoon series you will like the movie. If you...

Pros: Stays pretty true to the original. Good computer animation.
Cons: Poor plot and moral, resorts to gags inappropriate for children.

Starting out as a cartoon, Scooby-Doo has also been made into numerous different movies. His newest movie, simply titled Scooby-Doo, is a child attracter. The Scooby-Doo fans will come out of their caves to watch this...

Pros: Some scenes of genuine lampoon.
Cons: Everything else with this movie.

I find myself reminded of one of the most famous scenes in Mel Brooks’s classic comedy "Young Frankenstein". The scene I am referring to is the one where Dr. Frederick Frankenstein has just returned to his late Grandfather's castle. He doesn't want ...

Pros: By the fans, for the fans.
Cons: By the fans, for the fans.

There's one problem with the complaints about the new Scooby Doo film betraying the original animated series. And that is one of the actual quality of the source material, once you cut the faintly deranged nostalgia. Scooby Doo, Hanna Barbera's classic...

Pros: Matthew Lillard's Shaggy.
Cons: Everyone else mis-cast, the bickering.

The scooby-snacks were stacked up against Scooby Doo. First, the dog was animated but the humans were not. Then came the casting of Buffy the Vampire Slayer ala Sarah Michelle Gellar, then her husband Freddie Prince Jr., and...
