"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

 GREAT MOVIE!! June 3, 2009
Brian M. Claudio (Caguas, PUERTO RICO)
This movie totally rocks! I've always loved Scooby-Doo since i was a kid (I'm 21 now) and I remembered watching the original Scooby-Doo Where Are You episodes, The Scooby-Doo movies, The Scooby and Scrappy-Doo show, A Pup Named Scooby Doo (which I absolutely loved!) and the recent animated movies. Oh, plus What's New Scooby Doo! I remember, when I first heard of the release of this movie in 2002, I was really excited! One of everyone's favorite cartoon been brought to life! I was even more excited to hear that Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. would be the leads in the movie as Daphne and Fred. Their previous movies were mostly really cool, and neither of them are bad on the eye (they're both GORGEOUS!). When I saw the movie, I was blown away! This movie was PERFECT! Really fun and funny, action-packed, filled with jokes and also pretty scary. That was even more than I really expected. WAY MORE!
The CGI Scooby was top-notch (making him look like a real dog, making him cartoony and funny at the same time and leaving him intact as the actual cartoon must've been really hard, BUT THEY PULLED IT OFF 100%
The characters, Shaggy, Daphne, Fred and Velma, played by Matthew Lillard, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddie Prinze Jr. and Linda Cardellini were dead-on their cartoon counterparts. To me, this cast was perfect, they really felt like a group of friends (well, Sarah and Freddie were engaged during this [and they have such chemistry!] and Matthew had appeared with Freddie in other flicks and are really good friends). I think this cast actually made me like the characters even more. Matthew Lillard IS Shaggy, no questions. Linda Cardellini IS Velma (and she even made her quite sexy) Freddie Prinze Jr. IS SO Fred (quite funny performance by the way). But Sarah Michelle Gellar completely blowed me away! She made Daphne so much better than the actual cartoon character. That ain't an easy feat. I liked how she gave Daphne that edge and spunk, while still looking completely stunning in 6'' inch high pink go-go boots.
Everything in this movie was REALLY WELL MADE. The CGI effects, the sets (HUGE and IMPRESSIVE), the costumes (I LOVE how they made Mystery Inc. look, they seemed cooler, more modern, but still retaining their cartoonish charm...
I really can't say enough of this movie! I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT IT! I saw it in theaters, bought it on VHS, then DVD, seen it like 5+ times and still love it! I can't wait to own it on Blu-Ray and see how it looks!
This movie has everything= Cartoon mega-hit brought to life even better than the original, FUNNY, WITTY, COLORFUL, ACTION-PACKED, GREAT CHARACTERS and PERSONALIZATION, HORROR and so MUCH MORE!! That's SCOOBY DOO! Gotta love it!
 Scooby-Doo on Blu-ray April 3, 2009
Steve Sap (Charlotte, NC USA)
First and for most I've been a Scooby-Doo fan since I was young. Then seeing it come to a live action movie was something serious. But to review the Blu-ray the quality of the movie is great (9/10) but the only complaint I have is that none of the Special Features aren't in High Definition. But besides that it's cool.

If I could give this movie zero stars I would! Thank God somebody gave this to us. Those of you who have given it five stars must have been payed to do so. While enduring the torture of watching this crap-fest I was left pondering several points. First, did someone loose a bet? Second, did the director cash in every favor he was owed? And lastly how did they manage to make Freddy Prinzes hair look blonde instead of orange? Parents beware! This movie is comprized mainly with toilet humor. Do not be suprized when (after the umpteenth viewing) you hear your child shout to their sibling, "No, your mom eats cat poop!" Blessedly, mine have lost interest and now watch better things (with a little help from me!).
Scooby-Doo Blu-Ray Version September 19, 2008

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 version is not as flawless as it should be. Any flaws existing in the original film at the time of transfer (or flaws created during the transfer itself) will make their way to the high-def disc.
I noticed a lot of very "active" backgrounds in many of the early scenes. So much so, it's almost distracting. At one point, Shaggy's green shirt even seems to be "moving". But, later in the movie, everything looks stable and sharp as Blu-Ray should be. This suggests to me that either the original movie has some flaws, or the there was some kind of issue with the transfer process itself. Maybe there's some kind of compression going on???
All in all though, for $14 from Amazon, I would still recommend the Blu-Ray version. Just go into it without an image of perfection. Sit back, don't be critical and enjoy the flick.
