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

Too scary for most kids, too dumb for most teens.

Scooby-Doo knows when to take itself seriously and when to laugh at itself -- even if its audience isn't laughing along at every gag.

Rated: 2.5/4

... 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.

Rated: 3.5/5

I just really love scooby doo. I also think the humor is far more fit for nowadays than back then.

Muy buena película, no le doy 5 estrellas sólo pq no me gustó el rol de Scrappy-Doo, pero por lo demás es bastante divertida, los actores muy buenos en sus papeles, se nota que se empeñaron y que les gustó realizar sus personajes. Los efectos son impecables para ser una película del 2002 (hace ya más de dos decadas).

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars
