Scooby-Doo

🫣💡

One of my all time favorites

While classics like Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? (and all its spin-offs, from The Scooby-Doo Show to The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo) are known for repetition and going back-to-the-formula between episodes/cases, at least it had--and has--precision and comic pizazz. (And seamless chemistry, not to mention.) This supposed live-action homage, SCOOBY-DOO: THE MOVIE, makes its source material look, sound, and feel like a late 20th-Century/early 21st-Century teen funeral durge. Unmasking Norville 'Shaggy' Rogers (Matthew Lillard) as an alive-and-well, though shaken, Stu Macher (SCREAM). Velma Dinkley (Linda Cardellini) as a still-less-than-confident Lindsay Weir (FREAKS & GEEKS). Fred Jones (Freddie Prinze, Jr.) as whatever-his-name-is who pines for and trips up in courting girls with trust issues (SHE'S ALL THAT; I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER). Daphne Blake (Sarah Michelle Gellar), most infamously, as a cheap knock-off of a certain TV [teenVOGUE] vamp buster. And Scooby-Doo himself...well...as a computer-generated shadow of his pre-animation self. Remember me mentioning seamless chemistry? The principal cast here seems to have NO chemistry at all. If they do, it is HOLLOW at best. Thusly, "Mystery, Incorporated" is "Mystery, Isolated", more or less. Unless the gang, in their true metaphysical form, comes around, I doubt Scooby-Dum or Yabba-Doo will be able--or willing--to make it. Oh, and Mondovarious--the name of the villain--spells the plot in a nut shell: mondo tropes & cliches, various could-have-beens, and MONDO unnecessary changes. Otherwise, SCOOBY-DOO would have made cinematic and nostalgic waves, and gotten away with it too...if wasn't for these meddling filmmakers.

anyone who leaves a good review of this movie is either a bot or a troll

I mean this movie was okay from my childhood but the movie looks so bland and the casting chocies for the scooby-doo gang were truly awful. I won't recommend this film if you are a scooby doo fan to be exact!

We need a part 3
