Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
generationofswine The opening song was worth it. It really was. Actually, the music as a whole was worth it.And some of the jokes were fully even if one or two of them may have bordered on blatant stereotypes, but in a harmless way.It starts off strong. It starts off like an old episode of Scooby Doo...it just sort of ends with a "meh." In fact, what kills it is that one can walk away and forget how it ended by the time you get done using the bathroom.But the first half is memorable and the songs are catchy, so it's a wash.
Michael_Elliott Scooby-Doo and the Monster of Mexico (2003)** 1/2 (out of 4)Scooby and the gang get an invitation to come see a friend in Mexico for the Day of the Dead festivities but as soon as they arrive there they learn a Bigfoot like monster is haunting the people. Soon the Mystery Machine is out trying to determine who is trying to scare people off.This entry in the movies of Scooby-Doo isn't nearly as bad as its reputation makes it out to be. While the film certainly isn't among the best movies from the franchise, it's at least entertaining, colorful and offers up a pretty good monster and a nice little twist at the end. I will say that the only disappointing thing is that there wasn't more comedy because many of the comic bits fall flat.With that said, I really enjoyed the look of the Bigfoot monster as well as the myth surrounding it. I thought visually the monster looked extremely good and it was certainly entertaining enough to keep you caught up in the story. The animation, as you'd expect, was very good as well as the vocal performances. I really enjoyed the colorful nature to the animation but I will say it's a shame that the Day of the Dead ceremony wasn't used more. Still, if you're a fan of the series then you should enjoy this one.
Brian T. Whitlock (GOWBTW) This movie really get people dancing. Scooby and the gang are heading out to Mexico. Where there will be a Fiesta, that gets spoiled by a chupacabra(Goat sucker). To me, this creature resemble the Jaguaro, and I think they oughta done better. The adventure beings all good, and nothing seems to be lost in every way. A little lady dog seem to have eyes for Scooby. However, any lady dog will take Scooby seriously. The other cast like Charlene was a shady character from the beginning. She was always spilling the beans, coffee beans to be exact. And the robot characters in the theme park had all the tourists fooled. When everything went well, it was back to the fiesta, and who would know that Shaggy would take the lead. Just like any other Scooby-Doo cartoon, this movie is still the gem. You can learn some Spanish, solve along with the gang, and eat. I don't care what the critics think, I enjoyed this movie from day one! Rating 3.5 out of 5 stars.
wile_E2005 Now, I have said before that starting with "Arabian Nights" in 1994, Scooby cartoons became crap, with some exceptions (like "Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost" and "Chill Out, Scooby-Doo!"). But "Scooby and the Legend of the Vampire" of 2002 is very, very good compared to "What's New Scooby-Doo." Despite that and "Monster of Mexico" being produced at Warner Bros. Animation rather than Hanna-Barbera, this is a nice follow-up to the vampire one. Again, we have the old voice cast (complete with Heather North and Nicole Jaffe,) the old Hanna-Barbera sound FX, the remakes of the 1968-1973 Scooby underscore, the original outfits, etc. The animation is crisp and smooth, and almost matches the high-quality animation of the first four direct-to-video Scooby-Doo films, and is much better than the bad animation of "What's New, Scooby-Doo?" and the even worse animation of "Shaggy and Scooby-Doo Get a Clue!" This adds more charm to the cartoon, and the Mexican music is fun, especially the eerie Latin American violins and handclaps that accompany the opening credits. Overall, the nice animation and retro format make this and "Legend of the Vampire" seem like they were done at Hanna-Barbera and not WB!
