Critics Consensus

Though Lillard is uncannily spot-on as Shaggy, Scooby Doo is a tired live-action update, filled with lame jokes.

Outlook

Even its look is awfully cheesy and clunky, the SFX notwithstanding. Scooby Doo makes Stuart Little seem a Citizen Kane in comparison.

Rated: 1/4

... every inch a live action cartoon with a little contemporary self-awareness and about as much substance as a Scooby snack.

Beyond the Cinerama Dome

The pitch-perfect casting of the members of Mystery Inc. is what makes Scooby-Doo compulsively rewatchable. The plot is serviceable, and most adults will be able to unmask the villain long before the Mystery Inc. team does, but that doesn’t matter.

If you can accept a pixellated pooch, you'll be rewarded with an entertaining, un-taxing romp that will delight fans and enthrall youngsters.

This is how live action adaptations of animated shows or comics should be. Despite the terrible CGI, the story and characters all embody the true spirit of Scooby Doo, and that’s why this movie is good!

A delightful childhood experience, Scooby-Doo skillfully incorporates adult humor while acknowledging its status as a live-action adaptation of a cartoon featuring a talking dog, as well as the film’s dynamic cast, particularly Matthew Lillard’s exceptional portrayal of Shaggy, effectively captures the essence of the original. The film’s playful presentation, humor, and enduring charm make it a nostalgic gem that I have cherished watching repeatedly during my childhood. Grading: B-
