Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
"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

Rating: - Scooby-Doo Blu-Ray Version
I bought the Blu-Ray version because it was a reasonable price and I already had a full-screen copy of the DVD that drove me nuts to watch on a widescreen TV. This pretty much says I already enjoyed the flick. It's mindless and fun, and that's what makes it entertaining.

There is definitely better picture quality with the Blu-Ray version when compared to the standard DVD. There is far more pixelating in the standard DVD that is non-existent in the Blu-Ray version. But, the Blu-Ray ... Read More

Come on people,you're tearing this movie to pices!It's really good!Lots of people say that Sara Michele Gellar shouldn't play Dafnie,but I think she should!I'm 9 now and I saw this movie when I was 3.I was petrafied,butit is still an awsome movie!I think it's better than the second.Acutally,I just ordered a scooby doo double feature with scooby doo on one side of the disk and scooby doo 2 on the other.

Rating: - The kid likes it.
I really think they could have done much better computer graphics with Scooby. The rest of the main cast do a pretty good job. Matthew Lillard and Linda Cardinelli are so believable it is a bit scarry. Sarah Michelle Geller and Freddie Prince Jr. do a fair job but this is not some of their better work.
I know I know it is a recreation of a cartoon but I expected a lot better. I think there is a story here that would be a good movie but I think they either did not have the budget they needed ... Read More

Rating: - 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 ... Read More
