- 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.

- Enjoyable
The Mystery Inc gang and Scooby Doo have gone their seperate ways, though a mystery by way of Spooky Island brings them back together. Something's happening to the holidaying college students there, something's changing them. Independently, then together, the gang works to solve the mystery, which turns out to be a little more real, and a little more mysterious, then they'd hoped...

It's pretty enjoyable and colourful, even if its not quite the same as the TV series. Scooby Doo is animated pretty nicely and Matthew Lilard is right on as Shaggy. The audio commentary with the cast of the Scooby gang is pretty entertaining too. Interesting stuff. Worth a look for Scooby Doo fans, I thought.

- DOG PEE ALERT! Attention Parents: Scooby-Doo is not for Kids (or Anybody)
First of all this film is a mockery of the classic cartoon. Scooby looks nothing like himself and Shaggy is played over the top by Matthew Lillard who looks nothing like Shaggy. I could get over these points however but the movie was completely boring with no plot, just a showcase for lackluster special effects. Then about half way through Scrappy Doo who is upset because he didn't get what he wants decides to take revenge and PEES all over the girls. I could not believe they would put such filth in a movie geared toward families and children. The people who made this film are really sick in the head and should think about working on more adult oriented films to satisfy their obvious "creative" needs. I have no problem with adult material but it belongs in an R or NC-17 rated film. Films like this are the ones giving Hollywood a bad name. Kids might think its funny when a dog pees on someone but kids also think just about anything is funny. Like it or not Kids learn alot from movies and TV about acceptable behavior and tend to emulate what they think is funny for attention. How many children after seeing this film threw a tantrum and then peed on one of their siblings or parents?
What a way to ruin a good series with an awful movie and then some dog pee.

- Great HD DVD, movie just OK.
While my kids love this movie, I personally think this Scooby-doo is a pretty fair movie. I was surprised to see a sequel, but in reality Scooby-Doo 2 is a better movie. Given that the movie is just ok, the HD DVD presentation is fantastic!! The image on the HD DVD is nothing short of outstanding. The movie has a great transfer and the colors just pop off the screen. While this is great and all but in some points this can be a bad thing and a little scary as Pamela Anderson can be seen in all her flaws!!! As can Freddy Prince Jr.'s bad acting, but you can overlook all that when you see the image.

The audio on this disc is also delightful. It makes full use of the surround channels and actually makes watching the movie bearable. The mix is wonderful and very well balanced.

Supplements include a couple commentaries which I turned off after a few minutes and a 22 minute promo video.

This disc is one of those examples of a movie that is just ok and you probably wouldn't buy under normal circumstances, but it just looks and sounds so good you just have to buy it to show off what HD DVD can do. Also if you have kids under 10 years of age they will thank you for it.
