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.

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

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.

The live action take of Scooby Doo does provide some aspects of fun like its cartoon counterpart especially the performance of Matthew Lillard. However the same cannot be said about the rather questionable story, tone and direction.

nice 2000's commedy, good mystery with a stupid resolution, the movie is really nice but then the final act starts and proceeds to ruin it, all the rest of the movie is perfectly on point
