Alicia I love this movie so much

Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

khbarnabae Hello and welcome to one of the best movies of my childhood. Scooby-Doo and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed are the best live action Scooby Doo movies and I will take that to my grave. In fact, put that statement on my headstone, please and thank. Scooby-Doo was and will always be a staple in my house. The original series, the series with Scooby-Dum, Scooby-Dee, and Scrappy-Doo, and the animated movies. So, I'm an old Scooby pro and this movie made my dreams come true. This movie is sneaky enough with it's humor to be funny as a child or adult, the villain plot twist flipped my world upside down, man. The actors were my childhood heroes. This movie is perfection. As a child when I first got the DVD, I played it so much that it stopped working and we had to buy extra copies in case I broke them again. (I did.) Anyways, watch this movie, thanks, bye.

elicopperman When I was a little kid, I was a big fan of Scooby Too, from the original cartoon, to the What's New Scooby Too show, to some of the animated movies. And two installments to the franchise that I practically binge watched as a little fella were these two live-action CGI hybrid Scooby Doo movies directed by Raja Gosnell and written by James Gunn (now famous for Guardians of the Galaxy 1 & 2). Then, after doing some research years later and finding out that it was supposed to be a PG-13 satire on the original cartoon but was soon bogged down by studio interference to make it more family oriented, I now see it as a laughable mess.Right off the bat, the story takes place after the Mystery Inc gang have split up, and then they are brought back together to solve the mystery of an island called...Spooky Island....subtle. Simple enough plot, and the film does keep it's idea afloat...but MAN is this film confused tone wise. Remember when I said that this film was originally supposed to be for teens before getting butchered for kids? Well boy, are there a lot of innuendos here, and without giving anything away, let's just say some of the material from the original script may have gotten in the final cut. The characters from the show are decent enough, and Matthew Lillard, Linda Cardellini and Neil Fanning do really good jobs impersonating Shaggy, Velma and Scooby...can't say the same for Freddie Prinze jr. and Sarah Michele Gellar as Fred and Daphne, as while they are trying, they come off more as bland stereotypes more than anything else. The best actor in the film is Rowan Atkinson, since....well, this Mr. Bean we're talking about, of course he's a riot.As for the production design, while the sets look gorgeous and there was certainly a lot of effort put into making them shine bright, the computer imagery of Scooby and the monsters that show up in the film look dated even by early 2000s standards, as they look painfully obvious with how much they stand out like sore thumbs. Overall...I honestly have nothing else to say. This movie is just ridiculous, the jokes are confused, the characters are hit or miss, the cgi is dated, and while it does try to stay true to the cartoon, it just comes off as a case of not knowing whether to be silly or to be a straight forward adaptation of the show. However, I will admit that I do have some nostalgia for it. Not too long ago, me and my friend were watching this, and alongside getting memories of childhood back, it had me on the floor just from how crazy the direction was, as well as the innuendos. So if you're in the mood for a movie with a confused tone but some many laughable choices, this is for you. However, if you love Scooby Too so much that you refuse to see this...better watch Mystery Incorporated, cause that will give you a more mature take on the franchise without coming off as juvenile or insipid. As for me though....sigh....it's such a guilty pleasure.

amiranda-39274 This is my first review so i will try to do it as best as i can. but i have to warn you i will be bias, because this movie was my childhood, sure i had watched the cartoon before it, but i feel this really contributed to the show. Despite all the bad reviews this movie got, and i assume the ones it still gets, watch nostalgia critic's review on it, i still love this movie just as much as i did as a kid. the atmosphere is great i used to beg my parents to take me to spooky island as a kid, yeah i was a weird kid, but only because it looked real and amazing, a lot of detail went into the sets. i actually never found the plot too confusing, i followed it quite well, and the plot twist was awesome. I loved the characters, i think each actor portrayed their character really well, and dare i say perhaps even improved them. Matthew Lillard was exactly as shaggy should be portrayed in real life, wacky but reasonable, Velma was still smart, but more fleshed out, i would like to thank Linda Cardellini for that. Freddie prince Jr and Sarah Michelle Geller, really captured the chemistry of Daphne and Fred that i never got from the cartoon, in fact when my sisters found out these two got married in real life, they actually squealed. Also giving Daphne martial arts, Buffy like attitude, is what made Daphne more of an interesting character, in fact to this day they still give her this personality and skill set, and i know a lot of people hate CGI Scooby doo, but i didn't care i always believed there was an actual dog there, i think the actors also contributed to that. Isla fisher was a great addition, i was always sad she never showed up in other scooby doo movies,and johnny English is also in this movie. As much as i love this film, it still has flaws,i never liked the fart jokes, the adult jokes flew over my head as a kid, some are now more funny but some i still don't like. All in all i really like this movie, and i recommend any scooby doo lover to watch it.

mcfarlanejjm Sigh... This joke has been done before, but there's more Doo Doo than Scooby and there's more Crappy than Scrappy..Where do I begin? I'm torturing myself just to review my thoughts on this film for you guys. Just going to hop straight into it.The beginning starts off with a bloody hip hop yo yo Scoob piece of crap. The song sounds cheap and too modern for my liking. Representing the kids nowadays and their love for Drake and Kanye West. Surprisingly enough, it ends at the typical scooby episode with Daphne already bloody captured by nothing. Why do I say nothing, because the CGI is horrible. I've seen better CGI In goldeneye's opening sequence. I mean dear god! The ghost looks like a stock footage paste in and doesn't fit in with the background. Scooby now looks like a freakish dog mutant. There are such pleasant images in this film for its crappy cgi. Also makes no sense how they literally quit after completing the mystery. Even worse than the reason of why Spider Man quit in Spider Man 2!Since I'm bored of reviewing this awful excuse I'm just going to say that the monster is REAL and the bloody villain is Scrappy. Everyone is out of character, they'd never do what they did to scrappy on the original franchise. This film can go to hell...
