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

The long-running cartoon from William Hanna and Joseph Barbera that began life in 1969 as Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? becomes this live-action, tongue-in-cheek comedy-adventure featuring a computer-generated version of the easily frightened, mush-mouthed Great Dane. Freddie Prinze Jr. stars as Fred, the blonde, confident, ascot-sporting leader of Mystery Inc., a ghost-busting service that exposes phony supernatural phenomena as the work of shysters. Working with Fred are: his rich, beautiful

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.
The acting is stiff, the story lacks all trace of wit, the sets look like they were borrowed from Gilligan's Island -- and the CGI Scooby might well be the worst special-effects creation of the year.
As this movie knows what it is, Scooby-Doo's a relatively painless 85 minutes.
Much funnier than it has any right to be, and filled with just enough inside jokes to please longtime fans of the cartoon franchise.
The movie drags, and the occasional bursts of mirth and self-referential humor can't save it from bogging down.
It's like an amalgam of Ghostbusters, Alien and the Pokemon movies -- minus all the good parts.
Too scary for most kids, too dumb for most teens.
What really makes this movie special is Matthew Lillard's inspired performance as Shaggy. It's not only a dead-on impersonation of the cartoon character, but it also comes with a certain kind of unique joy and a genuine soul.
Too scary for most kids, too dumb for most teens.
O roteiro é, na melhor das hipóteses, medíocre, mas o charme dos personagens acaba se refletindo na tela grande.
Far more dull and just plain dumb than it ever is funny.
Bad
... About as close as it can be to the TV series without being animated.
Is this really the sort of entertainment America wants?
'Beating a dead CGI-crafted dog, the disc boasts a redundancy of forgettable featurettes that could easily have been edited into a single documentary.'
There's one big mystery that needs to be solved in this movie - though it has nothing to do with the plot. Why the need for Fred, Daphne and Velma?
...Watchable and mercifully short. Wow, what a ringing endorsement.
I saw this on its theatrical release mainly out of morbid curiosity really and even back then it was pretty damn poor. About the only thing they got right in the film is the casting of Lillard for 'Shaggy' who seems to have been born for the role. Rowan Atkinson must have been bribed with tonnes of cash to star in this
