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.

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

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.

It's a compromised vision, to be sure, but this colorful and campy pseudo-parody of the classic Scooby-Doo cartoons still has plenty of fun in store for younger (and some older) audiences.

yeah the cgi is bad but it was 2002 it was good for it's time. I liked the movie it was funny, had a great plot twist and a good watch. They did the perfect casting with all members of the scooby gang. I know scooby doo wasn't made with the best cgi but it did resemble a great dane which I liked alot they didn't making him a cartoon in the real world they mad him a realistic dog with cartoon abilities like the eyes going out the head or the running really fast on the spot before dashing off. I have no complaints. I do feel like people who compare it to Stewart Little is a bit ridiculous as Stewart little was a mouse in real life based from a book I'm pretty sure but with scooby doo coming from a cartoon he kept the things he did liked the stuff I talked about before with the eyes and how he runs I feel like if people move past it and just watchwd the movie they would enjoy it better than giving it a name and comparing it too a mouse based from a book when scooby doo came from a cartoon. Overall I really liked this film no matter what people say it's in my top 10 and the adult jokes in it were a good laugh just like the rest of the movie.

A fun film all around to watch. Great humor, memorable lines, a great cast. With a new spin on Scooby Doo I think they did great with this and the sequel. Absolutely underrated.
