Reviews Counted: 137

Fresh: 38

Rotten:99

Average Rating: 4.3/10

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

Rated: PG [See Full Rating] for some rude humor, language and some scary action

Runtime: 86 mins

Genre: Comedies

Theatrical Release: Jun 14, 2002 Wide

Box Office: $153,243,965

Synopsis: In this live action rethink of the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon series, director Raja Gosnell puts Fred (Freddie Prinze, Jr.), Daphne (Sarah Michelle Gellar), Velma (FREAKS & GEEKS' Linda Cardellini), and Shaggy (Matthew Lillard)... In this live action rethink of the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon series, director Raja Gosnell puts Fred (Freddie Prinze, Jr.), Daphne (Sarah Michelle Gellar), Velma (FREAKS & GEEKS' Linda Cardellini), and Shaggy (Matthew Lillard) back into the Mystery Machine with a CGI version of the canine title character. After parting ways to protest Fred's self-centered treatment of the Mystery Inc. gang, they are brought back together by Emile Mondavarious (Rowan Atkinson) to help solve a ghoulish mystery at his teen resort and fun park, Spooky Island. Although SCOOBY-DOO is primarily a live action movie, Gosnell keeps the characters and visuals cartoonish at all times. For fans of the series, all of the expected trappings are present (from Fred's ascot to the inevitable "meddling kids" line from the bad guy), but the film also pokes fun at these elements throughout, managing to balance kiddie fun with a more grown-up self-mocking. The CGI Scooby is both convincingly lifelike and clearly make-believe, with action that is more silly than scary so kids and adults can enjoy the film together. [More]

O roteiro é, na melhor das hipóteses, medíocre, mas o charme dos personagens acaba se refletindo na tela grande.

... About as close as it can be to the TV series without being animated.

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.

Nostalgia helps bolster a rather ludicrous finale.

Mildly entertaining, but not nearly the campy self-lampooning it could have been.

Unless you're an AOL Time Warner board member, there's nothing to like about this insipid live-action version of the 1970s cartoon series.
