"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

 The kid likes it. January 29, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
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 to do it right or the director needs to go back to school. The movie does have a few laughs and would do a good job of scaring a 6 or younger but I am not sure parts are appropriate for children of that age. When it breaks down to a fart and burping contest between Shaggie and Scooby I think the movie hits a real low point. It also makes me wonder how desperate they were for footage to leave it in the final cut.
I gave it three stars because I did find some entrainment in it and my 9 year old has liked it for a couple of years. I would have only given it two stars if I were reviewing it for the older crowd above the age of 20 at least.
I am not sure if HD DVD helps or hinders it. I am still trying to figure out what we ever saw in VHS after seeing DVD's and now that I have seen HD even up converted movies don't stack up at times. So if your just trying to find movies to get a collection going or if you have a kid this is not a bad investment but if you want to save a few bucks I would suggest getting this and the Scooby Doo two movie together for the price you would be a bit ahead and save your money for action, science fiction, or music that would look and sound incredible on HD DVD.
 Great HD DVD, movie just OK. February 17, 2007
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
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.
