Critics Consensus

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

Namrata Joshi 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 Jan 3, 2019 Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media Too scary for most kids, too dumb for most teens. Rated: 3/5 Dec 28, 2010 Full Review Kimberley Jones Austin Chronicle Rated: 2.5/5 Mar 10, 2003 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand ... every inch a live action cartoon with a little contemporary self-awareness and about as much substance as a Scooby snack. Apr 29, 2025 Full Review Tina Kakadelis 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. Jul 25, 2023 Full Review James Croot The Post NZ 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 Jun 27, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Mike V Be afraid. Be kind of afraid. Scooby-Doo (also known as Scooby-Doo: The Movie) is a 2002 American mystery adventure comedy horror film[3] produced by Mosaic Media Group and based on the long-running animated franchise. The first installment in the Scooby-Doo live-action film series, the film was directed by Raja Gosnell 🐶 Can’t recommend it. Meh, it passed the time. Sort of. 😕 When the Mystery Inc. gang is invited to Spooky Island, a popular amusement park, they soon discover that the attractions aren't the only things that are spooky. Strange things are happening, and it's up to Scooby, Shaggy, Fred, Daphne, and Velma to uncover the truth behind the mysterious happenings. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/22/25 Full Review Will L The fact that this movie managed spawn a sequel from its plotless, useless, and unnecessary corpse is a miracle comparable to the resurrection of Lazurus. Nice try but we didn’t need a live action version. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/17/25 Full Review Hex x Honestly, although it's not the most faithful adaptation of Scooby-Doo, it's such an enjoyable watch that it makes up for it. The actors did a stellar job. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/30/25 Full Review Mark J If you just want an absolute nonsense film to kill your brain for a bit this is it. It doesn’t need to be anything more and it has the best Shaggy. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/25 Full Review Ro M Really sweet funny film love Sarah Michele gellar Matthew was amazing as shaggy too Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/26/25 Full Review Audience Member Not really that good. The CGI was just bad, it was just wacky. Scooby looked extremely cartoonish. I just can't like this live action. They just should of made it a cartoon Scooby-Doo movie.
