  I would love to say that this is just another harmless and well meaning film aimed for kids and especially for the fans of Scooby-Doo but this time i just cannot. Raja Gosnell's film adaptation of Scooby-Doo is such an embarrasing experience to sit through that after twenty minutes into it you wish it to end and quickly. Kids will possibly find some of it's lazy fart-jokes funny and the setting has certain kind of potential with a island filled with ghosts and goblins. It is obvious that filmmakers here does not take the material too serious and remember to laugh at themselves but still this is a sloppily made film that has cheap looking CGI effects, horrible acting by everyone in the cast and truly awful sets that all look like rubber. I also did find the noisy soundtrack extremely annoying to listen at and when most of the dialogue is screamed it certainly does not make the viewing experience any better. It just feels that Scooby-Doo underestimates the viewers in every possible way. It does not have enough patience to really make us care anything or anyone on the screen and that is a true shame. Maybe some another time, maybe some another adaptation.

  I saw this on its theatrical release mainly out of morbid curiosity really and even back then it was pretty damn poor. About the only thing they got right in the film is the casting of Lillard for 'Shaggy' who seems to have been born for the role. Rowan Atkinson must have been bribed with tonnes of cash to star in this crap. The rest of the film is a terrible mess of horrendously bad cgi, unfunny childish humour and some very shoddy effects. The classic creation has been forced into the current age with a hideous modernisation including your obligatory rap/hop hop soundtrack that seems to come with most films these days for some reason alongside so many other god awful scenes it no longer bares much resemblance to the original creation. I dunno why they couldn't go with a more sensible approach and a slightly more genuine ghost story. The cartoons were silly yes but still reasonably coherent and actually quite spooky for kids, but spooky in an enjoyable way, this film is basically just trash...and since when was 'Scrappy' a bad guy!? As usual and with so many films these days, stick with the original material.

  I have always loved and respected Scooby-Doo and Mystery, Inc., but I'd have to say that to give this live-action adaptation even one and a half stars is quite generous of me. If you're thinking this will be like the classic cartoon series, clichéd but still fun anyway,… More
  I have always loved and respected Scooby-Doo and Mystery, Inc., but I'd have to say that to give this live-action adaptation even one and a half stars is quite generous of me. If you're thinking this will be like the classic cartoon series, clichéd but still fun anyway, you are wrong on so many disappointing levels. It doesn't take much to say that the cast for SCOOBY-DOO was talented--Freddie Prinze, Jr. as Fred and Sarah Michelle Gellar as Daphne--but it's rather the screenwriter for this who needs a lobotomy. He wrote the most idiotic double entendres in here that had no relation to the classic kids' show at all (for example, Scooby and Shaggy are in the van "grilling veggie burgers" when the UN-targeted audience knows for sure that they're using drugs because of the rest of the stuff in the scene); and stuff that's supposed to be funny, but really makes no sense (for instance, Shaggy putting a bonnet on Scooby and claiming it's "his grandma" on the plane with him--!?). I just think whoever wrote this for the screen just totally screwed up what could have easily been a fun, wild family adventure. Now, it's a catastrophe (sorry--DOG-astrophe), and kids won't laugh at it, but at least their parents will be a little creeped out. ZOINKS!

  I HATED Scooby Doo. I really did. The monsters were always, fake, there was never a mystery Velma couldn't solve, and the episode always ended with that annoying "I would have gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling kids" But even Scooby Doo fans have to agree with me that this movie sucked. The only good I can think of was that the guy who played Shaggy did a good job. That's all I have for you people. The worst thing about it might have been the humor. This might be the most unfunny thing you've ever seen. When the humor wasn;t incredibly immature (There is a scene where Shaggy and Scooby have a fart contest) it's incredibly child innapropriate (There is one scene that talks about Scooby's...God I can;t even say it) it makes Baby Geniuses look like Happy Gilmore The plot was pretty stupid too. I mean come on! Demons are possessing students and using them to take over the world? What? And Scrappy is there evil master. Absolutley not. This movie also has several unnecesary scenes that are just taking up space .(See "Our friends have been kidnapped")I don;t know why they are there. Maybe just to make the movie longer. But the worst thing about it? They made a sequel. And it was even WORSE!!!

  Scooby-Doo and the Mystery Inc. rock and bring an amazing family adventure in this live-action film based on the Hanna-Barbera TV cartoon series. Matthew Lillard reproduces perfectly the attitude of the animated character as Shaggy and his capacity to make you believe in the virtual Scooby-Doo is very impressive: when he's with him, you feel like if the dog was really on the set. The duo's perfect. Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. have a very communicative energy. Even if the role of Daphne was written with <i>Buffy</i> references, Gellar succeeds in preserving the essence of the character. And the last but not the least, Linda Cardellini delivers an outstanding performance as Velma. She took the animated character and managed to make her more human, funnier and even touching by bringing all sorts of irresistible details. I love the outstanding fight scenes between Daphne and Zarkos, the wrestler - Daphne's superb and reminds me of my favourite TV series, <i>Buffy the Vampire Slayer</i>.

  Casting couldn't have made a better choice of Shaggy than Matthew Lillard.

  its no masterpiece like the second movie but it had great comedy acting and effects the muscle growth scene is pretty funny and fantastic to look at

  not very good. C-

  The fact that Scrappy is the villain makes up for it.

  Original in their adaptation of the cartoon. Great cast. The gang go to Spooky island to investigate strange goings on.

  When I first saw this movie as a young boy, I thought it was fantastic. I now know how wrong I was. "Scooby-Doo" does nothing but make fun of Mystery Inc and make them look as stupid as possible. It tries to imitate the classic traditions of the show, but just looks gimmicky. It has several good jokes, and it's a bit fun to watch, but it also makes you feel sick.

• Chris G

  
  CGI butchering of a classic cartoon that has been milked beyond recognition itself. Scooby translates terribly to film, but at least kids like it.

• Dean !

  
  I was very surprised but this is fun for all ages! The cast for the film was spot on and Lillard and Cardellini sound so like Shaggy and Velma it's uncanny.

  It just did not seem like the spooky Scooby Doo cartoon which I fondly remember watching on Saturday morning. The CGI dog and actors were decent enough, but I did not like the story, which was set on a tropical island. Something more conventional like a haunted house would've been a better place to start with this big-screen treatment.
