I have been watching Scooby now for
years now. I am afraid this film is not a match on
the cartoons. Saying that it was really
good fun and I would recommend it for any pedant who's
kids are just coming out o school and driving you
mad! Director Raja Gosnell has copied the
cartoons ham acting and plots that make Prisoner Cell
Block H look like a master piece! Just like
the cartoons, except it lacks something.... I
just could not put my finger on it, but what the
hay, Buffy Fans will be shocked as Buffy turns into helpless
as she is kidnapped. The plot is
as bad as ever and does not really take much to work
out what is going to happen. After an
unfriendly break up, the Mystery Inc. gang go their
own ways, but are soon brought to gather after an island resorts
owner tricks them to investigate strange goings on
at his theme park. Soon a sinister plot that really
is so thin it is unbelievable, is unearthed by the
team and the investigation commences at full steam.
As the true nature of Scooby Doo, to quote
the tagline:- "Throughout The Ages, One Hero Has Cowered Above The Rest."
It's a fun film,
but shallow and there are too many inside jokes to truly enjoy
it to is full potential, if you are an
outsider to the Scooby Doo Phenomena. To put
it bluntly, if you like the classic cartoons, you'll probably love the
film! If you could not stand them then
this is a no go zone, trust me... Due to
that fact it only get a three star rating.
