"I would've gotten away with it if weren't for you meddling kids!" Equal parts remake and spoof, this tongue-in-cheek live-action resurrection finds the old Saturday-morning-cartoon gang reunited to investigate the zombie teens of a haunted amusement park. Frantic action and big-screen special effects stand in for logic, but for a while it makes for a spirited send-up. Freddie Prinze Jr., under a blond hairdo and an ascot, turns Fred into a preening pretty boy, and Sarah Michelle Gellar plays with her own Buffy image as eternal damsel-in-distress Daphne (in magenta mini-dress and maxi-boots, no less), but this show belongs to gangly Matthew Lillard, who is the adenoidal beatnik Shaggy. His loyal-to-the-end friendship with the computer-animated Scooby-Doo is the most convincing relationship in the whole two-dimensional goof. Some of the supernatural nasties may be scary for young kids and the humor careens from winking self-awareness to Scooby doo-doo gags, but otherwise this is as harmless as a Saturday-morning chapter and as substantial as a Scooby snack. --Sean Axmaker

Customer Reviews

Why would they put this on Blu-Ray?
I've been going through the list of 562 Blu-Ray titles offered on Amazon, and have to say I'm disappointed. So many heavy-hitters have not been released, and so much junk has. Sadly this film falls into the latter category.

Scooby-Doo had alot of potential--the CGI Scooby was done pretty well, the rest of the gang was fairly well-cast, and the actor who played Shaggy was all but perfect for the role. But the plot is terrible--I bought the DVD, watched it once, and have never wanted to watch it again. I can't understand why movies like this even see release on a format that is still very new--why waste money putting out junk like this when there are much better movies that haven't seen release? In my opinion (and that's all it is), a good 1/4 or 1/5 of the Blu-Ray titles available are like that. I just scratch my head trying to figure out who would *want* something like that in hi-def. Maybe if you have alot of money to waste, I guess.

Scooby-Doo is the kind of movie to buy from the discount DVD rack for $5, knowing not to expect much. It's B-movie fare, sort of fun--but not worth having in hi-def.

Hopefully the video format war won't drag on for too long--then movie studios can get down to releasing more of the big-name films they're currently holding back on.

Scooby-Blu
A fun adventure, every character was casted perfectly, you can see it when the gang is together, it feels like a group of friends. Now that it is in high def you can enjoy the small amount of special effects that Scooby-doo offers. Overall this is great family film for the growing high definition age.
